Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Sebastião Salgado's photographs have been shown around the world. In From My Land to the Planet, the photographer tells us the story of his most famous reportages: from the black and white portraits of unknown men and women, workers or refugees, to the more recent Genesis project, a portrait of the most uncontaminated places of our planet.

With a kindness and a disarming simplicity, Salgado rebuilds his path, exposes his beliefs, and makes us witnesses of his emotions. In this volume, his talent as a storyteller and the authenticity of a man who knows how to combine activism and professionalism, talent and generosity, clearly emerge.

The reader will discover fascinating stories from every corner of the world, both near and remote, from Africa to the Americas. Additionally, the birth of the Instituto Terra, the Genesis project, Magnum Photos, and Amazonas Images are explored.
