Of course I will continue photography. I love photography. But when you become old, it's too much.
Sebastiao SalgadoI have two children. I have a Down syndrome child whom I love very much, and my wife that I love.
Sebastiao SalgadoI can be an artist a posteriori, not a priori. If my pictures tell the story, our story, human story, then in a hundred years, then they can be considered an art reference, but now they are not made as art. I'm a journalist. My life's on the road, my studio is the planet.
Sebastiao SalgadoIn GENESIS, my camera allowed nature to speak to me. And it was my privilege to listen.
Sebastiao SalgadoWhat I want is the world to remember the problems and the people I photograph. What I want is to create a discussion about what is happening around the world and to provoke some debate with these pictures. Nothing more than this. I don't want people to look at them and appreciate the light and the palate of tones. I want them to look inside and see what the pictures represent, and the kind of people I photograph.
