“Before They Pass Away” by Jimmy Nelson (teNeues, 2013). The cover photo features a member of the Masai people on the Serengeti.
From the description on the dust jacket:
“This fascinating volume showcases tribal cultures around the world. With globalization, these societies are to be prized for their distinctive lifestyles, art and traditions. They live in close harmony with nature, now a rarity in our modern era.
“Jimmy Nelson not only presents us with stunning images of customs and artefacts, but also offers insightful portraits of people who are guardians of a culture that they – and we – hope will be passed on to future generations in all its glory. Nelson’s large plate field camera captures every intricate detail and fine nuance for posterity. What’s more, this splendid pageantry is set against a vivid backdrop of some of the world’s most pristine landscapes.”
