This is an incredible project, with implications that spread far beyond the reality of the decline of certain tribes in remote parts of the world. Not only do these…

Jimmy Nelson's photographic series "Before They Pass Away" is a compelling survey of the world's most remote tribes through the use of dramatic portraits. Nelson's photographs capture tribes from Mongolia, Nimibia, New Zealand, Argentina, and many more. Nelson spent 2 weeks with each tribe, helping him to fully immerse himself in their culture and practices while documenting them in his stirring style.
