In recent years, photographer Jimmy Nelson has been involved in documenting the life of endangered cultures. His book is the most complete and colorful collection of images of endangered tribes that exist at the moment.
Nelson was able to learn about 35 ethnic groups that are divorced from the modern world and live by the traditions that existed on their territory thousands of years ago.
With each of the tribes, the photographer lived for about two weeks. During this time, he felt for himself the lives of these peoples.
He drove to the place of residence of the tribe with a guide or translator. After Nelson made contact with people, he remained in the village. During his work, the photographer lived in the jungle, high in the mountains and on the river.
During his work on the project, he traveled to Kenya, Tanzania, Argentina, Ecuador, Russia and Mongolia. Choosing a tribe for further work, Nelson was guided by how far people lived from civilization, he chose only the most original and untouched tribes.
