This is what makes us want to travel. Discover new places and find the authentic culture of a country. The purity of humanity exists. It is there in the mountains, the ice fields, the jungle, along the rivers and in the valleys. Jimmy Nelson found the last tribesmen and observed them. He smiled and drank their mysterious brews before taking out his camera. He shared what real people share: vibrations, invisible but palpable. He adjusted his antenna to the same frequency as theirs. As trust grew, a shared understanding of the mission developed: the world must never forget the way things were.  Jimmy Nelson forces us to see, to understand and to remember before they pass away. Explore the journeys and get inspired!
