Yes, it&#8217;s possible, but it&#8217;s extremely difficult to achieve! However, Sebasti\u00e3o Salgado managed to do it. With nearly perfect composition, lighting, and black-and-white texture, he presented the most profound suffering and the most genuine beauty of human civilization.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;Labourer&#8221; series focuses on the vanishing manual labor worldwide. The hunched figures in the Brazilian gold mines, the sweaty figures in the Indian coal mines, are a solemn snapshot of the vanishing history of labor. The emaciated scenes of famine in Africa, the pain in Rwanda, the scorched land of the Gulf War &#8211; he fearlessly ventured into dangerous situations, using his camera to ring the alarm bell for human conscience. After enduring trauma, &#8220;The Genesis&#8221; returned to nature in eight years, showcasing the original beauty of the planet with the creatures of the primitive grasslands and the light and shadow of the pure glaciers. <\/p>\n<p>He once felt his soul exhausted from facing the darkness. Over the course of twenty years, he planted over 2 million trees to heal himself and rebuild his homeland. Documenting the darkness is not about evoking despair; rather, it is through the most extreme images to awaken empathy, and with the courage to gaze upon suffering, to illuminate the path that humanity pursues light and redemption. <\/p>\n<p>The tea for today is all gone. Next time, I&#8217;ll brew a fresh pot and enjoy art with you again.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=&#038;#8221&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8425,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"video","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8424","post","type-post","status-publish","format-video","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mr-shan","post_format-post-format-video","entry","has-media"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8424","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8424"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8424\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8426,"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8424\/revisions\/8426"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/8425"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8424"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8424"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mr-shan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8424"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
