Stunning Portraits Of The World’s Remotest Tribes Before They Pass Away (46 pics)
Living in a concrete box with hot water pouring from the tap, a refrigerator cooling our food and wi-fi connecting us to the rest of the world, we can barely imagine the way of life of, say, Tsaatan people. They move 5 to 10 times per year, building huts when the temperature is -40 and herding reindeer for transportation, clothing and food. “Before They Pass Away,” a long-term project by professional photographer Jimmy Nelson, gives us the unique opportunity to discover more than 30 secluded and slowly vanishing tribes of indigenous people from all over the world.
Spending two weeks in each of the native tribes, Jimmy became acquainted with their time-honored traditions, joined their rituals, and captured it all in incredibly interesting photos. His detailed photographs showcase unique jewellery, hairstyles and clothing, not to forget the surroundings and cultural elements most important to each tribe, like horses for Gauchos. According to Nelson, his mission was to assure that the world never forgets how things used to be: “Most importantly, I wanted to create an ambitious aesthetic photographic document that would stand the test of time. A body of work that would be an irreplaceable ethnographic record of a fast disappearing world.”
All of his snapshots now lie in a massive book and will be extended by a film (you can see a short introduction video below). So embark on a journey to the most off the grid corners and meet the witnesses of a disappearing world. Would you give up your smartphone, internet, and TV to live free like these beautiful people?

It's sad that som ofthese unique and beautiful cultures are being absorbed into a modern world. We need to treasure human variety.
Only if the government had zero say in my life whatsoever.
It is sad that things in the world change all the time. some for the good some for the bad. as we become a smaller world and the forces that want Global we are the world control we will see the small spots of unique humanity vanish!

Why do you say they are going to pass away? Those are the smart people who never let anyone dictate to them what life is.
Thanx for such beautiful pictures of indigenous peoples of the world, they seem to be going towards extinction with so much of their natural habitats in environmental degradation, we shall mourn their passing if it comes to be. Indigenous peoples are important in our diverse races we call humanity; they should not be allowed to vanish without conscious efforts to save them from the greed and destruction of our modern man. Their existence proves to us their respect and connection to the land of which we as a modern man has completely lost touch with.
Thank you for the beautiful photographs of vanishing races in the world. So appreciated.
Utterly gorgeous. I wish they weren't so photoshopped. They are stunning images and don't need the razzle dazzle of more color.
Floored. Humans are amazing, adaptable and climate is the controller of pigmentation. Racism is so stupid.
They say Every Picture tells A Story. The story is different,but the plot ,always the same.How to survive and contribute to make life good.
Put this up before...but was taken again. Plus have a few new friends.
Incredible ethnological work. Wonderful photography work, full of emotions.
Those tribes would have remained unknown if none of you did not take their photos. You have educated us with those awesome pictures.
Aboriginal tribes of America/Canada and Australia aren't noted??? Why?
The "gaucho" are nota a tribe, or tribal organization, is a "way of live"... But is a very nice colection
Simply amazing people and places...who knows...they may be the ones to stay around, and we will be those gone...
Absolutely beautiful...n truly hope these cultures continue...even if they progress in their own way
absolutely fabulous work & visual witness of this ultra-talented photographer
absolutely fabulous work & visual witness of this ultra-talented photographer
Human diversity is far and away our greatest collective strength, it mirrors nature's inherent strategy of being prepared for unknown change
Absolutely stunning photographs, but I can't help but think of all the critiques about Edward Curtis and his works in "The North American Indian." This "vanishing tribesmen" aesthetic as been critiqued for over a hundred years. The Maori, for one, are neither a remote nor a disappearing tribe!
FYI. The Maori from New Zealand(NZ) are a people not a tribe. Many different tribes exist within making up the Maori people. Alsom no Maori person reqularly dresses like the photos shown here. What you see here is purely costume worn for events and celebrations etc. These photos imply that Maori people of NZ wear this attire daily. I can assure you they do not. The English colonized New Zealand in the mid 1800's and they brought european clothing with them.
I would like to contact the person, or the persons who did this amazing work, I would like to make a full article in my news web to promote such tremendous beauty... Stephane Pierre
Anyone who has something to say on the issue of vanishing culture should watch The Last Safari-- http://thelastsafarimovie.com/ It deals with all the tough questions you all are bringing up. Watch the trailer. Its doing the fest circuit now, like it on FB to be updated when its available for download-- https://www.facebook.com/thelastsafari
Just a consideration......I liked several of the photos a lot. Others seemed artificial, maybe exploitive and something felt fishy, Then I watched the video at the bottom It says "One of The world's most outstanding photographers, then goes on to to describe HIM as exhilarating, a maestro, awesome" Well, it's his movie. He can say whatever he wants. He's calling himself a Maestro. To me it seemed this is more about ego than cultural preservation. Where is the praise for his subject? What's the back story?This isn't a National Geographic story, the movie is way more about the shooter than the tribal people. I recently made a book of portraits and I had to pose people, so I am not against making portraits for personal gain, this guy is just WAYYY into himself. A few of the photos are stunning, but mostly because the subject, not the lighting or composition. I just think people should question the context. Some of the photos may have been taken with a four by five camera and I know its hard for those to not look staged. I also wonder if the tribes got anything out of it. For my book I am donating to a charity that helps my subjects with health costs. My book is www.soundofAustin.com
The first tip off that this is baloney is the "wild pig" shown trussed up caught for the special ceremony in the first sequence. It's a nice clean pink domestic pig folks. The over-the-top melodramatic intro was also a bit much, almost not worth suffering through to get to the stories. Can you say exploitation? How about self aggrandizement? And the worst of it is, there are a few good photos here, then some mediocre ones and the great majority of them are just tourist snapshot quality. What a load of self-promoting c**p.
It is so difficult to comprehend that here in the second decade of the 21st. century, these people, and their ancient cultures, and societies still exist. Most of whom are oblivious to our world. People whom depend so much on what "this planet" has to offer them. Who are we, and what right do we have in our modern 21st. world, to pollute "this planet"!!!?
I really didn´t know that GAUCHOS were a tribe... LOL!!!!!
These pictures serve nothing more than to exoticise groups of people (a tribe is a very specific configuration of kinship relations- not an automatic label for anyone wearing a loin cloth and face paint) who exist as part of the same complex social networks that make up the modern world. Many of these Ethiopian 'tribes' spend their time at war with one another using weapons which flooded the country during the Sudanese Civil War. Most indigenous Russians were educated during the Soviet era, some in Soviet universities. Many have travelled throughout Central Asia as conscripts in the Soviet/Russian army and know more about the pros and cons of market liberalisation than the average politician. The same can be said of many Mongolians. I could go on, but the point I want to make is that these photos do not capture 'how things used to be'. They do not capture history, they render these people without history- turning them into timeless relics that we can store in our museums and jerk a tear at before carrying on with our busy modern lives.
I had to send the link to all my friends. What a wonderful world we are destroying slowly.
Your a d**k! Pretty sure half the people complimenting you, didn't even read your preface. Yeah, Call Americans Blessed, spoiled or whatever. We have true super heroes in our world, fighting for what? I don't know. I respect everyone of those people. That they are there sucks. You however have the opportunity to photograph some amazing people. We are Americans and yes we have the privilege of knowing where our water came from, where our food will too. Do Not Denounce us for being simple minded, AS your Preface on this article did... We help who we can, we learn from our mistakes, I'm not even talking whoever the hell is the president.. We are f****d no matter... but for someone to outright judge who does or doesn't respect where things are coming from or what helps... Your pictures are truly pretty and I see very strong people... but we are too. Way to void a persons opinion..
The mostly posed portraits are good, but most of the images contain no cultural information other than the clothes/jewelry worn and sometimes the environment. This is a very shallow way to document a disappearing culture.
Beautiful, moving pictures. I was lucky enough last year to spend an amazing time in Mongolia with the Tsaatan people. They were incredibly generous although they did not have much. They shared their food (reindeer milk cheese and bread) accommodation, blankets when the snow fell early in August. They told us that their way of life is at risk. They want to continue their nomadic existence but are struggling to maintain their way of life because they have been moved from their traditional land and may not be where they are much longer as precious metals have been discovered in the mountains. The reindeer are mineral deficient and the herd is dwindling. The government has given them solar panels and satellite dishes. The young Tsaatan people are hooked on Korean soap operas and vodka. I don't know anything about the other people in the photos but should I manage to gather enough funds to return to Mongolia there is a strong possibility that the Tsaatan, although not extinct, may not be gone from their land. If these images, the book and film bring attention to their situation and perhaps similar situations across the globe I can forgive the title.

Read the thoughts on here, the majority really show how indigenous cultures are misunderstood.
At first I was quite excited to watch this clip. I love taking photographs and have been traveling all over the world for 2 years. I think I have taken over 40,000 pictures or more. Then I listened to the photographer. Then I realized, yes the pictures are stunning. Yes, the locations are stunning. But so much of it is staged. He even tells us of this fact. He took the tribe to the volcano although nobody would really go there. He takes the to that rock that nobody wanted to go. So it's almost like a Sports Illustrated Swim Suit shot. Beautiful people in beautiful places. But this is NOT how they actually live. The Vanuatu Clip is more of a motion picture as seen through the authors eyes. He even tells us this. "I wanted it this way". Quite frankly, listening to him made me not want to see any more of them. I can just picture him screaming and yelling at everyone, including the localsl, when they didn't do what he wanted. 3 hours for a shot? That is a photo shoot not capturing how people live. So it's is not a documentary. It's a photo shoot for a magazine. Sadly, he will make a lot of money on this and I highly doubt they will get any real compensation except adventure seekers paying a lot of money to go back and "see" what he pretends to be real. I just saw this effect in Central America. In the end, it's clips like this that do make tribes like these "disappear".
the photographs are amazing and I'm glad somebody captured all this diverse beauty.......but the trailer/video is AWFUL.. the music and how the journey is presented is not different to having exotic circuses/exhibitions of tribes in the 1800's in Europe..... the music and narration is completely out of sync with what is shown......all this sensationalism and hype is absolutely not necessary with a beauty like this... I'm really disappointed with the video so far, how one can create something so horrible out of something so beautiful, can't even continue watching it.....
I would have more respect for this if the depiction of the only people among them that I know reasonably well were not so biased
Diferentes y todos iguales...El señor de esta foto es guapíííísimo.
This guy looks like Qhinon Mimain, from game of thrones.
These are truly stunning, a wonderful record but artworks in their own right!
Was quite interested till I saw the Maori of New Zealand! WE live like westerners and only wear traditional clothing for performances. Makes me wonder about the rest of the "Dying Tribes" in these photos. We have changed but we are not passing away.
Sån skillnad från min egen värld att man nästan inte fattar att det är sant. Är säkert ömsesidigt :-)
most people do not realize that these tribes actually do exist and do continue their ways one way or another, they are not relics from the past. they are still here! go see "The Cave of the Yellow dog" for instance.
We are all human... some more painted than others. Beautiful !
These images are incredible. Is this also available as a book? Hard to say I would give up all I know, but a strong move towards living like these indigneous families would benefit everyone.
These pictures are what you might see if you had a time machine and wanted to check out your family tree. It was not too long ago that everyone had to live this type of harsh, unforgiving and dangerous lives. Thanks to them, we can live our soft, pampered existence.
What amazing pictures. Which beautiful diversity humans exhibit!
such beauty, dignity and color can not be lost
Maori tribes remote? This sounds like a romantic nineteenth century pakeha idea revisited
Yes, in Hawaii with the "lay in the sand and soak up the sun tribe."
Gorgeous images, but misleading. I just returned from a trek to the Tsaatan people. Though they do not have running water (unless you count the nearby river), or indoor plumbing, they do have cell phones, light and TV (powered by solar panels). They have skipped the wired era, and jumped straight to wireless!
Yeah, I've know missionaries and they can confirm that. It's not the technology but how much importance we place on it over, what I would consider more important things.
Load More Replies... Live free = periods of near starvation, parasite infestation, a bland and boring diet, extreme temperatures with no relief, untreated chronic medical conditions, superstitious beliefs... etc. If this is what living free looks like you can keep it. The pictures are awesome however! (However - I do wonder how those guys manage to wear those gourds on their penis)
These people are not even remotely on the edge of passing away. What appalling ignorance and arrogance.
Extended life span? Eskimos are some of the healthiest people on the planet and thy enjoy more longevity than us in America! Americans are more and more diseased every day...
Beautiful photos... but no way... maybe for a short period.
But the Eskimese and Inuit people are using smart phones and internet - at least some of them ...

What an awful person, this photographer seems to be in his self-presentation…. His talent aside, - the style of self promotion in his film (shown below the photos) is a total embarrassment, - the voice-over and music score completely tasteless. Clearly it would be for the best of all those people, had he stayed far away from them...
Super nuotraukos. Maoriu is Naujosios Zelandijos siaip jau nebera gyvenant pagal senasias tradicijas... Pamatyti imanoma nebent juos public performansuose, bet ir tai, jei apsirengia ir "pagasdina"...

Yes, but on condition that i have fully developed my telepathic and other serious powers.
Amazing pictures ! It would definitely be a great experience .
my sons would not like that. My husband wouldl go with, I think. Would it be necessary to be reachable for the sons?
Never had a smartphone, feel smart enough myself; gave up TV, using internet only to stay in touch with people I respect.
I could do anything do live free from all of these.... my biggest dream is to live in Norway .... love the country, climate and everything ...
Amazing and unique pictures, I love to learn more about their culture
i would love to experience these peoples lives and understand their amazing cultures
My husband would in a second; the kids and I - not so much!
If I could take my family and loved ones with me... Yes!
I am sad to see that the tribes in my home country, Indonesia, has probably the most pictures taken. We are in the process of making these beautiful people extict by modernizing them
Who decides on when these people live or die? Satanists?
