Omschrijving
Sebastião Salgado’s photographs present an archaeological perspective on manual labour, shedding light on practices which endured from the Stone Age through the Industrial Revolution and up to the present day. He created an elegy to outmoded traditions and the dignity and fortitude of those working in the face of the most dangerous conditions.
“Sebastião Salgado is a master at transforming his photojournalism into paintings in the best sense of the word, images that move and touch.”
“The book is a work of art, a sociological study and a historical document all in one, celebrating human fortitude in the toughest of challenges.”
“Salgado's Workers: a respectful look at hard labor... The illustrated book pushes them back into our consciousness with great respect.”
"Workers is a book published by TASCHEN of current importance... Photographs in the finest print that flatters Sebastião Salgado's unique visual aesthetic. Fold-outs allow the reader to delve deeper into the stories... Less a book, more a journey."
“Salgado’s pictures will endure – as moving testimonies to human resilience. This is impressively demonstrated in Workers.”
“The Brazilian documentary photographer has produced one outstanding series of images after another, revealing the lives of people around the planet, from indigenous communities and migrants to steel workers and farmers.”
“The book delivers a masterclass in photographic technique – content and contrast, lighting and composition.”
"This book is a tribute to those men and women who still work as they have for centuries."

In 1994, he and his wife Lélia Wanick Salgado created Amazonas Images, which is today their studio, and exclusively handles his work. Salgado’s photographic projects have been featured in many exhibitions as well as books, including Sahel. L’Homme en détresse (1986), Other Americas (1986), Terra (1997), Migrations (2000), The Children (2000), Africa (2007), Genesis (2013), The Scent of a Dream (2015), Kuwait.
