Breaking News - Legendary photographer Sebastiao Salgado has died it was announced today. The 81-year-old Brazilian environmentalist, best known for his large-scale black and white photographs of natural world, his images of people and places were seen by millions through his books and exhibitions.
To many fellow photographers, he was perhaps the greatest photographer of his generation. I first remember seeing his work in the 1980s, and was captivated by his extraordinary images of the ant-like armies of workers scaling the open-cast gold mines in Serra Pelada, Brazil.
