Sebastião Salgado
The Serra Pelada gold mine
Brazil, 1986

I first saw Salgodo's work in paris in 2000 in an amazing retrospective and I immediately fell in love with his work. His imagery opened my eyes to a world that we rarely see ourselves if ever and the prints are beautifully done despite the brutality of his imagery. For me his work has been inspiring and enlightening since I was a young photographer.
