Ethiopian Refugees
"Ethiopian Refugees" is a powerful gelatin silver print by renowned photojournalist Sebastião Salgado, documenting the humanitarian crisis during the 1984 to 1985 Ethiopian famine. The photograph captures the profound human suffering and displacement of that era through Salgado's characteristic style of intimate, large scale black and white imagery that transforms documentary photography into fine art. Printed later from the original negative, this work exemplifies Salgado's commitment to bearing witness to global suffering and using photography as a vehicle for social change and humanitarian awareness.
