In in 2010, Nelson started to work on his second book, Before they Pass Away.
Nelson’s work has also been criticized for harmful inaccuracies and generalizations, which Nelson uses to make himself and his photography look good, but which harm the cause of the tribal people he is using. Julia Lagoutte writes in the OpenDemocracy: “It is simply not true that tribal people have been “unchanged for thousands of years”; they have been evolving constantly, as we have. It is clear that for Nelson, their attraction and purity is rooted in their exclusion from the future, and their containment to the past – so that is the only reality he presents in his photos. By omitting their interactions with the ‘modern world’ that they are a part of, and perpetuating the myth that they are dying out, Nelson’s work freezes tribal peoples in the past and effectively denies them a place in this world.”

Nelson’s work has been the subject of much criticism from a variety sources, including the very people he photographs and represents in his book. In June 2014 Nelson’s project Before They Pass Away came under attack from Stephen Corry, director of Survival International , the global movement for tribal peoples’ rights. In a review titled “Turning a Blind Eye to Pure Old Vibrations” published on the Truthout website, Corry attacked Nelson’s work for presenting a false and damaging picture of tribal peoples. Corry maintained that Nelson’s pictures bore little relationship either to how the people look now, or to how they’ve ever appeared.
