The world has lost one of its last true heroes.
Sebastião Salgado is no longer with us, but his legacy of truth, beauty, and dignity endures.
Often criticised for the “too beautiful” nature of his work, he once responded with a line I’ve never forgotten:
“Why should the materially poor world be uglier than the rich world? The light of love and respect is the same here as there — and dignity is the same everywhere.”
Salgado didn’t just take photographs — he gave a voice to the voiceless, and he showed us that humanity, in all its hardship, still glows with grace.
I will miss my hero.
And so should we all.
