Visually Unique Tribes

Before They Pass Away is an aesthetic photographic project by Jimmy Nelson who found the last tribesmen and observed them. After 3 years of travelling the world and capturing the beauty of over 30 remote tribes, elegant and evocative portraits are created to provide an extraordinary view into the emotional and spiritual lives of the last indigenous peoples of the world. Below are the some tribes we picked, but make sure to visit the project website and learn more about the tribes. Also you will see a video below that Jimmy Nelson speaks at TEDxAmsterdam and tells his story. Check it out.
