BEFORE THEY PASS AWAY

Photographer Jimmy Nelson’s life long project of photographing indigenous tribes all over the world has finally found it’s way in a book entitled ‘Before They Pass Away’. As the title suggest the depiction of these tribes around the world is not only to showcase the beauty of these intriguing cultures but also to emphasize its slow departure. You can spend hours on his website – learning about these cultures only through the imagery. The way he photographs could easily end up as any fashion editorial in Vogue, but this is the real deal, and in that sense way much better. Get the book at TeNeues.
