Sebastião Salgado (born 1944 in Aimorés, Minas Gerais, Brazil) is a renowned photographer and photojournalist.

He initially trained as an economist, earning a master’s degree in economics from Sao Paulo University in Brazil. He began work as an economist for the International Coffee Association, often traveling to Africa on missions for the World Bank, when he first started seriously taking photographs. He chose to abandon a career as an economist and switched to photography in 1973, working initially on news assignments before veering more towards documentary-type work. He is particularly noted for his documentary photography of workers in less developed nations. Longtime gallery director Hal Gould considers Salgado to be the most important photographer of the early 21st century, and gave him his first show in the United States.
