I just had a look at his website. It's like if Salgado was a fashion photographer instead of an economist before he set off. Salgado's work is aesthetically beautiful but still journalistic, whereas Nelson's work feels posed, contrived and instagram filtered. I see why he's defending himself and why lots of people might buy the book to put on a coffee table, but I sympathise with the criticism. I almost want to like it - he's a good photographer - but it's just a bit too contrived and that turns me off.
