Jimmy Nelson is a British artist, he is also known as photojournalist
he often photographs indigenous people from around the world. His goal with his
work is to portray different cultures from these places the people are usual
adorned with clothing, jewelry, accessories that represent their culture his
photos are high contrast and are in full color. The people usually fill the
frame which allows investigation of only them and nothing else. In his wider
shots Nelson typically displays the people in a natural setting of where they
are from. Nelson spent parts of his childhood in Asia, Africa and South America
which is where he was exposed to various cultures. It was then that he began to
have an interest in different cultures and which is why now he photographs a
wide range of people however they are specifically indigenous; because there is
not much exposure of these people groups is why Nelson finds it important to
photograph them and capture
“evidence”
of their lifestyle and who they are.
