Jimmy Nelson Homage to Humanity - Première édition

Jimmy Nelson, renowned photographer and international best-selling author of Before They Pass Away, captures the essence of 34 iconic and disappearing tribes from Asia, Africa, Mexico, to Australia and India.
Since his first internationally acclaimed exploration through Tibet almost 30 years ago, Jimmy Nelson has traveled to the world’s most hidden corners to photograph indigenous peoples. In 2013 he published his first book, Before They Pass Away—which sold over 180,000 copies worldwide—fulfilling his lifelong dream to create awareness about the world’s unimaginable diversity. With HOMAGE TO HUMANITY, Nelson presents an all-immersive experience that invites you on extraordinary journeys to India, South Sudan, China, French Polynesia, Chad, Bhutan, Mongolia, Angola, Namibia, Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, Mexico, Siberia, Peru, and Australia, capturing an iconic and artistic record into the unknown and unspoiled realms of these last human heroes.
Coupled with Nelson’s iconic photography, the book contains personal interviews with the portrayed individuals, compelling travel stories, infographics, and a mobile app allowing for a more in-depth look into where and how these people live.
