Sebastião Salgado in Berlin


"Sebastião Salgado - In Principio", an exhibition in C/O Berlin, showed black and white photos by the Brazilian photographer, who documented the landscapes of the countries of coffee growers.

I always liked Salgado's photographs and liked this exhibition very much. What I most knew about his work was the documentation of poverty and portraits of people in Brazil, especially from the North of the country. First time that I see theses photographs about coffee.

What I'm most interested in these kinds of photos is the fact that it is documenting time, people and history of a certain culture, in a very authentic way.
