His interested in the camera medium started during his journeys as a child. Throughout his career, he worked in the fields of commercial advertising and photojournalism, where he was commissioned to cover many political and sociological topics, such as wars in Afghanistan and Yugoslavia. His book titled Literally Portraits of China, depicting the country’s hidden corners, was a great success, crowned by a worldwide tour. Nelson’s photos of tribes caused a fair bit of controversy, resulting in him being accused of glamorizing them and making them bear little resemblance to their actual state and conditions. The images to be featured at Bryce Wolkowitz gallery will include those from Nelson’s biggest work to date, a book titled Before they Pass Away. The exhibition of Jimmy Nelson photography will be hosted by Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery in New York, USA, from February 26th until April 18th, 2015.
