From behind 2.21
Die schönsten Fotos waren jene, die von den Wilden in ihrer natürlichen Umgebung gemacht worden sind. Denn der Wilde steht immer dem Tod gegenüber, er tritt dem Objektiv auf die gleiche Weise wie dem Tod entgegen.
The most beautiful photos were those taken by the savages in their natural surroundings. The savage is always facing off with death, and he approaches the lense in the same way he approaches death.Jean Baudrillard, Transparenz des Bösen, 1992. Transl. mine.

Monochrom has some kind words to offer, too.
