Sebastião Salgado (Aimorés, Minas Gerais, Brazil, February 8, 1944) is a Brazilian sociomedical photographer and photojournalist. Salgado has traveled to more than 100 countries for his photographic projects. The vast majority of these have appeared in numerous publications and books. Traveling exhibitions of his work have been shown around the world. The gallerist Hal Gould regards Salgado as the best photographer of the early 21st century. [citation needed] He has received numerous international awards, including in 1998 the Prince of Asturias Award for the Arts or the W. Eugene Smith Award for Humanitarian Photography in 1982.

Sebastião Salgado's images are not taken hastily or impulsively. He needs his time to build both the story of an image and the discourse of a series, which can take him several years. His work is slow-cooked, unhurried, with knowledge and dedication.

The work of this master of photography cannot be tagged with just two or three words, such as photojournalist or social photographer. It is so vast and with such an intense discourse that those labels fall short.

In his work there are tints of economy, human, social, anthropological, of denunciation, of pain and above all, incredibly, of beauty and of art where one could never imagine someone could capture it.

One of the most influential photographers of the 20th century alongside other photographers of his time such as: Ansel Adams, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Edward Weston, Robert Capa, Elliott Erwitt, Walter Evans, Philippe Halsman, Diane Arbus, Eve Arnold, Robert Doisneau, Herb Ritts, Josef Sudek, Robert Mapplethorpe, Richard Avedon, Annie Leibovitz, Steve McCurry, among many others.
