Armed with his photographic camera and with affection for the tribes of the world, the British photojournalist Jimmy Nelson traveled for years to the ends of the Earth, seeking to meet and to immortalize, the origins of the human species, with the minimum remaining last human tribes in the world.
The album “Before They Pass Away” (ed. teNeues), pays homage to the source of his inspiration and ultimately of his own life.
Traveling around the world, he photographed 35 tribes, including the Arctic Nenets in Russia, the Maori, the Kazaks of the steppe of Mongolia and the last hundred thousand Ladakhi of India and Pakistan.
