"This is a film about photographers. Perhaps from the etymology of the word. In Greek, photo means light. And graphe means writing and painting. And "photographer" is a person who can use light The person who writes. He can describe the world with light and shadow." The explanation about the photographer at the beginning caught me. The photographer is a person who can write with light. He can describe the world with light and shadow. When we appreciate the work of a photographer. What we see is the world in the eyes of the photographer, the world he wants to present to us. Seeing in the eyes. Just what you think in your heart. Thinking in mind. Through the works, we can see the heart of the photographer. The world in your eyes. It's the world in your heart. How big is the heart. The world you can see is just as big. "I found such a photo in a gallery about 20 years ago. At that time I didn’t know its value. I just thought that the person who took this photo must be both a good photographer and an adventurer. A seal and a signature Sebastian Salgado. I bought the Nafu Picture Gallery. The owner took out some other photos of this photographer from the drawer. Those photos completely shocked me, especially this A portrait of a blind Tuareg woman. Although I see her every day, I shed tears every time. It hangs on my office wall. At least I learned something about Sebastian Salgado. The thing is that his love for humans is very important to me. After all, humans are the salt of the earth." Humans are the salt of the earth. "The salt of the earth" comes from the "Bible". It means that the original taste of the earth is salt, which is a metaphor for the beauty and hope of the world. "I believe that if we arrange many photographers with completely different styles in the same place, they will take completely different photos. Of course, this is because they all come from different places, completely different places, and everyone should be completely different by themselves. I have formed a completely different perspective from my life experience. I believe my experience here has also taught me to form my own unique style." "Sebastian tried sports photography and wedding photography before really finding his own style." Portrait photography and even human body photography" Sebastian Salgado was born in Brazil in 1944 and spent his entire childhood on his farm. Later, he left his hometown and went to middle school in other provinces. And met the other half of her life, Lilia-the same life Companion and love. Later they went to France together. Sebastian studied economics, went to Ph.D., entered the financial world after graduation, with a good salary and a bright future. Lilia repairs architecture. It was a camera Lilia used to assist in architectural research that changed Sebastian's life trajectory. Sebastian found that he was more interested in photography than work. They used all their savings to buy photographic equipment, and Sebastian embarked on the path of documentary photography. Since then, in this world, there has been a lack of a high-paid and glorious person in the financial world, and a great photographer, adventurer, and compassionate humanitarian in human history. Some people are destined not to go the way ordinary people take. For some people, their goals and dreams have never been money, glory, wealth, houses, chariots, and beauties. They care about the common people, they are brave to practice, and they have a heart of innocence. They hate ugly wars, and they sympathize with miserable people. Some people are destined to leave a strong mark in human history. In this world, there are always people pursuing dreams that we dare to think but dare not pursue, doing things we dare to think but dare not do, and living a life we dare to think but dare not live. Because of their existence, we see more possibilities, see a different life, and see a different way of living. Because of their existence, our world is better. "When I originally planned to plant trees here, I thought that planting a seed would grow a small plant, but it’s not just a small plant but a million, and it’s not just everywhere around here. Yes, and the scope is expanding every month, and this is the magical part. At first it was just a small idea. Then the idea evolved into the original small sapling and the small sapling gradually became a big tree. Now this idea has become everyone. "The earth healed Sebastian’s broken and desperate mind. The joy brought by the gradual growth of the jungle reignited his passion for creation." "I decided to shoot a new theme "Focus on the ecological environment." I filmed this project initially The idea is to reveal forest destruction or environmental pollution, but in fact these are not important. Later, I decided to shoot a different project as a tribute to the planet we live on. But what surprised us was that we found that almost Half of the area is still in the state at the beginning of Genesis" "Many friends have advised me not to change your shooting field. You are a well-known photographer in the field of social documentary, but now you have entered the field of landscape photography and animal photography. He said but These areas will not die. I should also learn to take some photos of this type. I started to shoot my first story collection." "This is my first shooting project about nature and my first time shooting anything other than humans. I spent a lot of time observing and researching other animals. I want to figure out whether I am a ghost, a tree, or a pebble." "He wants to witness the beauty of nature and witness this land and animals and creatures like Genesis It was the same at the beginning. "After so long trauma, now Sebastian finally has a new and optimistic perspective to re-examine the planet. This project will become their greatest work. This is a love letter to the earth." In this world, there are people who are never satisfied, always explore, always discover. They will always create another circle of beautiful ripples. They bring more beautiful imagination and expectations to this world. This time, Sebastian moved from documentary photography to nature photography. Wrote a love letter to the earth! A beautiful love letter! "These Indians are like living in heaven. This is the only place I have ever seen where women have three, four or even five husbands at the same time. Of course, husbands also have several wives. Every woman has a husband who can hunt. A husband can hunt fish, a husband can farm the land, and a husband stays at home and helps women with housework. The women here have a lot of power. They also own part of the men’s property, but the amount added together is also considerable. I will make new and interesting discoveries every day when people stay together. "The first time I heard there was such a magical place. Magic! "This man is also the author of these photos and presented us with a great plan and dream that the destruction of nature is not irreversible. Now in instituto terra, more than a thousand eyes have reappeared in the new spring. 2.5 million trees have grown into wild animals. Gradually return to this forest, including the jaguar." This land no longer belongs to the Salvadoran family and now it has become a national park. It belongs to everyone and it is also a demonstration that we are fully capable of recovering what has been destroyed. Planet" Thank you for having such a photographer. Thank you for our planet.
