It was such an honour to be invited by AP Magazine to pay tribute and to honour the wonderful and inspiring Sebastião Salgado, who very sadly passed away earlier this year.

The event was organised by Amateur Photographer Magazine and called Festival of Photography – Documentary, at The Royal Geographical Society in London. The tribute panel closed the day’s talks to a practically packed out Everest Room.

The talk was chaired by Nigel Atherton (AP Magazine’s editor) and involved a conversation between Ian Berry (Magnum Photos), Neil Burgess (agent) and myself.

With thanks to Sophie Ward for the wonderful photographs from the event.
