https://youtube/watch?v=j9abU8kN8ZM Before They Pass Away: Endangered communities photographed... Indigenous peoples have been documented before, but the results have often been patronising, says Jimmy Nelson. So he travelled the world to photograph 35 threatened tribes in an unashamedly glamorous style. In his landmark project Before They Pass Away Jimmy Nelson captures the lives and traditions of the last surviving tribes who have managed to preserve their traditional ways and customs within our increasingly globalized world. The British photographer’s epic portraits present these dignified inheritors of noble and age-old traditions in a proud spirit and in all their glory—a unique visual experience. We’re delighted to have it among our autumn offerings. 424 pages., 4 gatefolds, Hardcover with jacket, 11 1/2 x 14 5/8 in. 402 colour photographs. £100 Buy your copy or as a gift now from Bibliophile Books. So far, the project, which the Sevenoaks photographer Jimmy Nelson began just over four years ago, has resulted in hundreds of images, a luxurious coffee-table book, a TED talk and currently an exhibition at the Atlas Gallery in London Before They Pass Away; is at Atlas Gallery, London W1 (atlasgallery), to 16 November.
