From: Deepak Punjabi Subject: PHOTOGRAPHY BY UNICEF Special Representative Sebastião Salgado UNICEF Special Representative Sebastião Salgado Brazilian photographer Sebastião Salgado is one of the most respected photojournalists working today. Appointed a UNICEF Special Representative on 3 April 2001, he has dedicated himself to chronicling the lives of the world's dispossessed, a work that has filled ten books and many exhibitions and for which he has won numerous awards in Europe and in the Americas. "I hope that the person who visits my exhibitions, and the person who comes out, are not quite the same," says Mr. Salgado. "I believe that the average person can help a lot, not by giving material goods but by participating, by being part of the discussion, by being truly concerned about what is going on in the world." Genesis is the latest project of world-renowned photographer Sebastiao Salgado, now on show in London. This image shows an Antarctic iceberg between the Paulet and the South Shetland Islands. Antarctica, 2005. "I have named this project Genesis because my aim is to return to the beginnings of our planet: to the air, water and fire that gave birth to life."
