After graduation he worked for the Brazilian Ministry of Finance from 1968 t0 1969. In 1969 to 1971 he completed his coursework for his doctorate in economics at the University of Paris.

In 1973 Salgado began to work as a photo reporter, first covering the drought in the Sahel region of Africa and then photographing the immigrant workers in Europe. He has received photojournalism's top awards for his documentary work. His work Autres Ameriques (Other Americas) was awarded the Kodak/City of Paris award; Sahel: L'Homme en Detresse won best photography book of the year from the international photography festival in Arles, France; and An Uncertain Grace, an Aperture book, was published in 1990 to enormous acclaim. Among many other citations, he has received the W.

Salgado is based in Paris and his work is exhibited worldwide.
