BEFORE THEY PASS AWAY (EN / NL)

Jimmy Nelson’s international bestseller, Before They Pass Away, gives an intimate visual account of the last people on our planet living in accordance with their tribal traditions.

But what was it like to take these photos, how was the photographer able to ﬁnd these tribes and what did the crew have to endure while shooting these incredible images? Despite extreme temperatures, injuries and treacherous paths, the team was able to come into contact with a number of unknown cultures.

In this book, Before They Pass Away: The stories behind the photos, Hannelore sheds light on the incredible stories of adventure, friendship, amazement, joy and sadness that lie behind the photos presented in Before They Pass Away. Not only did this journey of discovery have a positive impact on these tribes, it also changed Hannelore and her travel companions forever.

I dare to say with full conviction that this book is one of the most impressive books I have ever read.
And maybe the best book ever.

What a fantastic and inspiring book! I have learnt so much about these unknown tribes, and Hannelore’s personal and engaging stories have fueled my desire to travel. Exciting, touching and at the same time unbelievably funny.

EXCITING NEW PROJECT COMING UP

HUMAN PLAYGROUND

Hannelore’s journey around the world meeting the planet’s last remaining indigenous tribes has now culminated in her biggest undertaking yet: Human Playground, a photo book, art prints and Netflix Original documentary series about sport, culture and tradition. This unique multimedia production brings modern and traditional sports together for the first time.

It’s a collection of the most fascinating, extreme and primal ways humans use sport to express who they are. Ultimately, the story weaving through Human Playground is an entertaining and thought-provoking observation of a human evolutionary constant: PLAY.
