When he looked through the viewfinder, he experienced a revelation: suddenly life made sense. From that day onward-though it took years of hard work before he had the experience to earn his living as a photographer-the camera became his tool for interacting with the world. Salgado, who “always preferred the chiaroscuro palette of black-and-white images, ” shot very little color in his early career before giving it up completely.
