About Jimmy Nelson

Jimmy Nelson (1967) has been photographing native cultures all his life, which resulted in his first book 'Before They Pass Away' in 2013. Five years later, 'Homage to Humanity' (2018) followed. Jimmy Nelson's latest book 'Between the Sea and the Sky' is an ode to the Netherlands. During the recent global travel restrictions, Jimmy Nelson realised that he doesn't have to travel to the ends of the world to discover exceptional human beauty. Nelson places people on a pedestal in front of his camera, giving extraordinary and often almost forgotten communities a dignified and visible platform. With his passionate portraits, he celebrates human diversity and beauty.
