At 80 years old, Sebastiao Salgado, the Brazilian photojournalist with a five-decade legacy of documenting the world, shows no signs of retiring his camera.
He might be 80 but Sebastiao Salgado, the Brazilian photojournalist who has spent five decades chronicling the world around us, is not ready to hang up his camera yet. Salgado, known in particular for his work in the Amazon, insists there is still a need to "raise awareness" about the deforestation of the planet."Photography is the mirror on society," he said in an interview with AFP to mark the start of a London retrospective of his 50-year-career.
