In his series ‘Before They Pass Away’ photographer Jimmy Nelson created these beautiful and powerful portraits of secluded tribes from around the world whose cultures are at risk of fading away.
A curated glimpse into a world of infinite beauty and creativity.
In a word: Magnificent
Couldn’t agree more :)

Yes very true…quite historically significant his work really in that sense..
Awesome pictures, so much pageantry.
The one with the three kids grinning at the camera is easily my favorite. It just seems to capture a great moment.
Thanks for sharing these!
That is truly, amazingly an unbelievable set of photos, and suddenly made me feel very hopeful about people and life.
Totally agree with Trent! Hopefully, magnificent, vibrant, and fearless! Outstanding photos!!!
It will be a vanilla world when we’ve destroyed everything but our own culture. I like vanilla … but I like other flavors too. Glad there are at least these wonderful pictures.
Hehe..vanilla is good…our favourite is chocolate and lemon ;)
Stunning..
