Photographs Of The World’s Most Fascinating Indigenous Tribes

Through the book ‘Before They Pass Away’, Jimmy Nelson, a British photographer, invites you to save a part of our world’s precious heritage: Tribes. ‘Before They Pass Away’ could be described as a journey through 464 pages of portraits of people who are the guardians of a culture that they hope will be passed on to future generations in all its glory. It is a visual document about the lives and traditions of the last surviving tribes on earth.
