Sebastiao was born on February 8, 1944 in Amiores, Brazil. He originally went to school to become an economist, and eared his master's degree in economics from the University of Sao Paulo. His career started at the International Coffee Organization as a economist, but he later on, in 1973, abandoned his career as an economist and started to become a photographer. Salgado worked on these long term self assigned projects that often got published into books, including, The Other Americans, Sahel, Workers, Migrations, and Genesis.
