A lot of criticism was based on the title of the first book, which was perhaps childishly naive, but at the same time deliberately provocative. That message is a catalyst of discussion: not only for people who buy the book, who see the pictures and hear the stories, but also for the people who I’ve been taking pictures of. I’d like them to participate in the project as well – they’re doing that through the Jimmy Nelson Foundation.How are the people you have portrayed participating?That is why going back is important, to show that you respect the people you’ve met. We walked through different climates over hills, through jungles, across deserts and up mountains and ended with this panoramic epic view of the Magadi desert. Not only politically, but also socially, humanely and dietary. 'A little naive. From Mongolia to Indonesia, Jimmy spent weeks with each tribe to learn their culture and capture it from his point of view. “It’s rare that after all these years that I’ve been traveling, many years, and many more to come, that one meets a kindred spirit. At some moment in time, the people I’ve asked to photograph come to me. "The Amsterdam-based photographer’s 2013 book, 'Before They Pass Away,' features a collection of photographs from across the globe, including portraits of Ethiopian tribes and communities in Mongolia and New Guinea. The Maasai who we walked with were the kindest, sweetest people you can ever imagine. Every picture is scannable and provides in-app, behind the scenes content. And perhaps the realization that they live with a certain wealth, a certain knowledge, understanding and status that we’ve lost in the developed world. I want to bring back a reflection of self respect. So I was desperate to make a new book and enable people to participate. I’m an artist,' Nelson, 50, told The Post. Drawing a lot of inspiration from Jimmy's photography work, it was quite exciting for me to be involved with this trip, as the Content Manager of Charlie's Travels. Both of them are real pictures. I’m making an artistic statement as a catalyst for a cultural discussion and the development and evolution of the human being.Did you change your perspective for Homage to Humanity?Definitely so – I was ashamed and affronted by the criticism on the first book. That ‘Joie de vivre’ you can have... with the Maasai, on some motorbikes, with Waldemar & Sophie, their kids and Marit and Stephanie was absolutely golden. I’m not an ethnologist or anthropologist, but an amateur storyteller. Somebody who is intrinsically connected with what he’s doing and what he wants to see, feel and share. Intrinsically that had to do a lot with them, but more importantly with the parents, who are widely travelled, extremely connected, very wise and intelligent. (@Jimmy_P_Nelson), View a gallery of images from "Homage to Humanity", British Journal of Photography: "Portrait of Humanity: ‘Keeping “the other” away is a disaster for our planet’" — "Jimmy Nelson has spent the last 30 years photographing indigenous cultures around the world, culminating in his latest project 'Homage to Humanity.'. Jimmy took some amazing pictures and wrote a small testimonial about their trip, which is also online on the blog page of the Charlie's Travels website. In my opinion, the art should be in a book and the rest should stay digital. People say that the situations “can’t be this beautiful”, that the pictures are staged and fake. What actually ended up happening was a dream. For quite some time now, I have concerned myself with matters of depression, burn-outs and the western world. This exhibition will present an all-immersive experience that invites you on an extraordinary journey into a new and different world. We laughed, I giggled so hard (I’m not allowed to say it..) I actually peed in my pants. The screen moves, and a book doesn’t – it’s tactile and static. Thank you very much.”, As a well-known Dutch actress and TV host, Sophie has seen and traveled a lot around the world. Last year, the book Homage to Humanity was released, a mastodon work with more than 400 photographs by 30 different tribes. I did not know them very well before the trip. No matter how big, important or special the picture is, you never let it sit when it’s on a screen. This allows people to see the making of the work, and to understand the process behind it.". We can learn from the mistakes of not acknowledging the wealth and the value of their culture, and their connection to the environment, how they live and where they’ve come from. Author of the new book "Homage To Humanity" and of "Before They Pass Away." At the end of the day everything is packed and of we go on another modern journey. It is a remarkable record of their journeys on a state-of-the-art platform, with immersive 360 films, behind-the-scenes footage, storytelling and more. There are a fewer people on the planet who are better connected with their environment and culture. The journey was also made even more special because it was a very unusual group of people.
