"I worked among these people for six years, in 40 countries: on the street, in refugee camps and in the shanty towns where they often end up. Many were going through the worst moment of their lives: they were frightened, uneasy, humiliated. Yet they let themselves be photographed, because, I believe, they wanted it known what they were going through. When I could, I explained to them that this was my intention. Many even stood in front of my camera and spoke to it as one speaks into a microphone" (Sebastião Salgado).
