Photographer Jimmy Nelson has traveled the world with his camera, visiting some of its most remote and ancient cultures: the resulting images will uplift us individually, unite us spiritually and help motivate us to save our humanity.

The new global language is not Chinese, English or Spanish. Jimmy Nelson believes it is the visual language of photography. His travels to visit native peoples within small remote communities have become addictive. The bright, colorful, ecstatic feeling that comes through in the resulting photographs is in sharp contrast to a world that sometimes feels emotionally beige. They demonstrate the unique beauty of all the varieties of human life for the viewers and the subjects alike. It is the story he wants to tell and share with the world.
The parallels between the biodiversity of the planet and its cultural diversity are very clear. Our ethnodiversity, our ´ethnosphere´, must also be protected. It is the sum total and manifestation of all the thoughts, dreams, myths, ideas, inspirations and intuitions produced by the human imagination since the dawn of consciousness. It is all that we have created through our endeavors as a wildly inquisitive and astonishingly adaptive species. In short, it is humanity´s greatest legacy.
We all come from the same source and together we are going through an amazing period of cultural evolution. Peoples with unique cultural identities need to be truly and effectively respected, cherished and supported, for them and for all of us If we are to do so we will all need some of the humility, vulnerability, kindness, generosity and good humor that comes through in these arresting images.

Each image in this book has hidden, digital layers. Go even deeper into Jimmy Nelson´s photographs with exciting additional material that will bring you new insights into his work, and new perspectives on the lives of the people he visited.

Six week prior to the book launch on the 21st of September, we will launch the pre-launch app. Within the app every week we will reveal a new chapter. This will contain two images and some information about the people. But most important of all, we present the very first preview of the 360 film, that we have been making for all of the journeys in Homage to Humanity. The app will make it possible to share your thoughts and opinions on social media, so people who own this app will be ambassadors of the book.
When the book is out, this app will be updated to the official Companion App.

Every image within the book will be scannable like a QR code (so you actually scan the image itself) and leads to a piece of the following Content
