One of the most recognised photographers working today, Salgado is primarily known for his long-term social documentary projects. His latest, ‘Amazônia’, took six years to complete. During this time, Salgado travelled the Brazilian Amazon photographing a dozen indigenous tribes and the unparalleled beauty of this extraordinary region.

To celebrate the recent opening of ‘Amazônia’ at the Science Museum in London, we are delighted to release on our Archive Sebastião Salgado’s conversation with gallerist Peter Fetterman, where he brings us behind the scenes of this project and on a journey through the Amazon with him.

This talk took place earlier this year as part of Photo London’s Book Club live events, to coincide with the UK launch of Salgado’s ‘Amazônia’ book published by TASCHEN.
