Brazilian Portraits

Brazil

Role: executive producer, social media manager, photographer

'Brazilian Portraits' is a photography project conceived with the aim of providing insight into the intricacies of Brazilian identity. Spanning over 50 cities across 13 states and 3 countries, the project captures unique Brazilian narratives through a series of photographic portraits. Each individual photographed received an instant print of their portrait and shared a personal story, which, when paired with their portrait, was featured on the project's website, contributing to a rich tapestry of Brazilian faces and tales.

From 2014 to 2018, 'Brazilian Portraits' had dedicated photographers stationed in various Brazilian regions, as well as in London (UK) and Turin (IT). The initiative received recognition and support from the 'Fundo de Investimentos Culturais de Campinas' in 2014 and 2015. In 2016, the project was selected to be a part of ProAc, the Cultural Action Program in São Paulo. That same year marked the project's inaugural European showcase at the University for Foreigners of Perugia and Cavallerizza Irreale in Turin. In 2017, the project culminated in the publication of the book 'Retratos Brasileiros - São Paulo'.
