Product Information

They are mostly posed, which means he had to get the cooperation of remote and in some cases potentially hostile people, some of whom had doubtless never even seen a camera and had no idea what the artist was up to.

And Nelson has gone out and found them, and he’s staged these elaborate production shots, which in their technical perfection are gorgeous.

Linking eastern culture to where tea leaves were first discovered to western culture after King Charles II first introduced it to Britain. The criminal, often genocidal, treatment of many tribal peoples remains underpinned by a portrayal eliciting from us little more than wistful pangs of history lost.

some of the pictures are very staged, but at times that makes it funny / part of the charm (some of the young man standing around trying to look tough). This elegant and evocative collection of photographs documents the unseen lives and traditions of over 15 million people from 35 of the world’s last indigenous tribes.It’s a fantasy that to me says more about the people who are consumers of these images than the people who are the ostensible subjects. Instead, Nelson has selected picturesque elements from each place, added a pinch of untruths, removed political and social context and painted their deliberate and preventable destruction as effectively a fait accompli.

Navigate through pieces of pollution to get to the fascinating depths full of vibrant splashes, ocean botanicals, mermaids and sea creatures.
