British Photographer Jimmy Nelson traveled to five continents to document the lives and customs of 35 different tribes before they are consumed by the modern world.

The journey took three years, and was motivated by his aim to immortalise the purity of humanity before the tribes are consumed by the modern world. “I wanted to create an ambitious photographic document that would stand the test of time.” Purchase the book of the photo-collection online at the project’s website beforethey.com.
