本書介紹
這一本攝影集,是巴西籍的攝影記者、也是世界知名的攝影大師Sebastião Salgado的第七本攝影集。

原本所學的是經濟學的Sebastião Salgado在1969年獲得經濟碩士學位之後,進入ICO(International Coffee Organization)工作。1970年接觸攝影的
Salgado,在1971年時因為工作關係前往非洲,也因而認識了好友Joseph Munyankindi,而就在這之後兩年的1973年毅然決然的離開了International Coffee Organization,專心致力於攝影。

之後Sebastião Salgado很快的就進入了巴黎的Gamma攝影機構;1979年時,轉移到世界知名且擁有相當影響力的攝影經紀公司馬格蘭攝影通訊社(Magnum Photos)。1994年的時候,他離開了馬格蘭並開始建立自己的機構。
此外,Sebastião Salgado也曾連續兩年在奧斯卡.巴納克國際攝影大賽(Leica Oskar-Barnack Award)中獲獎。

Sebastião Salgado在攝影集所收錄的1974~2005的這三十多年間有著超過四十次的實地採訪攝影。
曾經,Sebastião Salgado為了報導在非洲持續了十年的旱災,先後共十六次前往非洲,即使因此而染上了血吸蟲病也沒有就此停歇,Sebastião Salgado在治療的過程中仍舊堅持攝影採訪。

在這個有著超過五十個國家、人口總合排世界第三的大陸,生活相較於我們相對困苦艱辛、戰亂頻仍,如果沒有實地與當地的人民相處過真的很難像Sebastião Salgado所拍出的這些照片一樣震撼人心。
如同封面所看到的,這是一本純黑白的攝影集。雖然彩色底片甚至是數位照相技術在Salgado拍攝的這些年間漸臻成熟完美,但黑白的照片沒有多彩的顏色也許反而更能凸顯照片所要傳達的。Sebastião Salgado的照片充滿著濃郁的人道主義精神,而這也是因為Sebastião Salgado的堅持走進人群裡生活再拍攝所以才能拍出這樣引人關注的照片。

當然在這本攝影集裡不只有人像攝影,也有關於自然的動物與景物的攝影。Sebastião Salgado拍攝的自然不論是動物或是景物都一樣的吸引目光。

總而言之,這真的是一本很棒的攝影集,在這邊推薦給大家!


本書內容
An homage to Africa's people and wildlife

Sebastião Salgado is one the most respected photojournalists working today, his reputation forged by decades of dedication and powerful black-and-white images of dispossessed and distressed people taken in places where most wouldn’t dare to go. Although he has photographed throughout South America and around the globe, his work most heavily concentrates on Africa, where he has shot more than 40 reportage works over a period of 30 years. From the Dinka tribes in Sudan and the Himba in Namibia to gorillas and volcanoes in the lakes region to displaced peoples throughout the continent, Salgado shows us all facets of African life today. Whether he’s documenting refugees or vast landscapes, Salgado knows exactly how to grab the essence of a moment so that when one sees his images one is involuntarily drawn into them. His images artfully teach us the disastrous effects of war, poverty, disease, and hostile climatic conditions.

This book brings together Salgado’s photos of Africa in three parts. The first concentrates on the southern part of the continent (Mozambique, Malawi, Angola, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Namibia), the second on the Great Lakes region (Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya), and the third on the Sub-Saharan region (Burkina Faso, Mali, Sudan, Somalia, Chad, Mauritania, Senegal, Ethiopia). Texts are provided by renowned Mozambique novelist Mia Couto, who describes how today’s Africa reflects the effects of colonization as well as the consequences of economic, social, and environmental crises.

This stunning book is not only a sweeping document of Africa but an homage to the continent’s history, people, and natural phenomena.
