Marcio Pimenta is an explorer, photographer, filmmaker and speaker.He is a member of The Explorers Club and a National Geographic Society explorer. His work is dedicated to witnessing the history of humanity, marked by achievements and losses.With the support of the National Geographic Society, between 2022 and 2023 he embarked on a solo expedition of more than 11,000 km (6,835 miles) by land and sea following the trails described by Charles Darwin in his travel diary. Pimenta documented the socio-anthropological observations, landscapes and Darwin's legacy still present in Patagonia.Graduated in economics and holding a doctorate in international relations with a specialization in American Studies, Pimenta abandoned his academic career in 2013 to pursue a path as a visual storyteller.In 2016 and 2017, he was in Iraq to cover the war against ISIS and the renaissance of Yazidi women. This work resulted in his first photo album, published in 2020, “Yazidis”.Between 2018 and 2020, he traveled to several countries in South America to document how human beings transform landscapes to obtain water, energy and food, launching his new photobook "Man and the Earth" in 2023.Witness to important events of our time, Pimenta hopes that the results of his work will be used for anthropological, sociological, economic, geographic, historical and aesthetic studies.Pimenta divides his time between Patagonia and the city of Porto Alegre, Brazil, with his wife.Rory Peck Trust and Pulitzer Center Fellow.
