"Before They Pass Away"

"Before They Pass Away," a long-term project by photographer Jimmy Nelson, gives us the unique opportunity to discover more than 30 secluded and slowly vanishing tribes from all over the world. Spending two weeks in each tribe, Jimmy became acquainted with their time-honoured traditions, joined their rituals and captured it all in a very appealing way. Jimmy not only presents us with amazing images of customs and artifacts, but also offers insightful portraits of people who are the guardians of a culture that they--and we--hope will be passed on to future generations in all its glory. All of his stunning photos are now showcased in a historic art book. So embark on a journey to the most remote corners and meet the witnesses of a disappearing world.
