Healing Through The Lens: The Other Side Of Jimmy Nelson
What happens when you sit down with a legendary photographer, life artist, and storyteller like Jimmy Nelson? In this special episode of Eindbazen, we celebrate our 10-year anniversary with a guest who’s been on our wishlist since day one. As it turns out, waiting a decade was exactly what this conversation needed — Jimmy brings a story that cuts deep and transcends the expected.
We talk about his journey from darkness to light. About a childhood marked by abuse, the sudden loss of all his hair at sixteen, and the urgent need to escape — both physically and emotionally. To Tibet, to tribes on the outer edges of the world, and ultimately back to himself. His photography isn’t about documenting. It’s about searching. For connection. For dignity. For healing — for those in front of the lens, and for the man behind it.
This is not your typical interview. It’s raw, honest, and intimate. A conversation about trauma, transformation, and the quiet power of genuine attention. About how a vintage camera can become a compass. And how the essence of being human is often found in places with no words — yet full of meaning.
