 Bob Martin is a British sports photographer best known for his action shots that capture the drama and beauty of athletics. Martin is recognized mostly for his photos that pause time and show athletes flying through the air or performing a surreal athletic move. Many times Martin uses remote control cameras to capture perspectives and angles that cannot be accessed through traditional photography.

Salgado went to school to become an economist which led him to travel to the World Bank in Africa frequently. These trips to Africa is where Salgado began taking pictures seriously and eventually began as a full time photographer. Salgado initially worked for different companies where he would submit his photos. Examples being  Sigma, Gamma, and Magnum Photos. However in 1994, Salgado and his wife started their own photo agency. The work in his agency is noted for taking photos of workers in less developed nations. This photo is a great example of what Salgado does best. The overall darkness of the photo matches perfectly what is seen by the viewer. The man looking into the camera looks tired and weak. The ladders play a key role in how the photo is viewed too almost like these people are at rock bottom and trying to climb...
