Jimmy Nelson

Jimmy Nelson has been on an uncharted quest through the world's undiscovered indigenous communities for over a decade. His artistic documentation ignites pride for indigenous people and

empowers future generations all over the world. The breadth and depth of Jimmy’s work is immense, with many exhibitions, talks, features, books and videos. That’s why Lama Lama was thrilled to create a digital

experience where visitors could make their own journey into the universe of Jimmy Nelson. Navigating through historical moments to experience these memories as your own.
