“Homage to Humanity” is a recently completed project by photography Jimmy Nelson and his team who visited 34 indigenous cultures in five continents and took some really impressive photos of the isolated tribes around the world. In this project, Nilson explores the idea of reconnecting to our roots and our humanity and he believes that indigenous people play an important role in our perception of ourselves as human beings. Therefore this book will not only be an adventure, but an investigation into a far more in-depth catalyst of ethnographic discussion as to the lasting values and importance of these precious cultures.
From the Himalayas with the Sharchop in Bhutan to the Mundari on the dry, isolated vast plains of South Sudan. The images are fascinating, if slightly unsettling and transcend rich cultural prosperity, symbolism and pride in the face of the looming threat of modern society.
