Jimmy Nelson

James “Jimmy” Philip Nelson is an English photographer. He is known for his portraits of tribal and indigenous peoples. He was born in 1967 and is now 54 years old.

Jimmy has wrote multiple books with his most famous being called Homage to Humanity. The book includes interviews with the people portrayed, behind the scenes of photography and stories about his life and his travels.

I like the style of Jimmy’s photos because it presents how life is lived for these tribal people. The background of the portraits have a big effect on the people as it makes them stand out and it shows the environment they live in.
