Artist Research - Sebastiao Salgado

Whilst his historic social documentary imagery earned acclaim across the world, Salagdo turned to nature to restore his faith in humanity, by experiencing beautiful creatures and scenery across the world he documented in the same style as before, with large black & white photographs of vast spaces, capturing incredible the incredible detail of his subjects. The exposure of this particular image is impressive to me, the details of the clouds in the sky do not cancel out the darkness within shadows, cast by the mountain but also the dark areas of the thousands of penguins on display.
