Traditional Peoples of Cerrado
For those who do not know, traditional people are people who occupy a region historically and have their habits, traditions and beliefs transmitted orally, from generation to generation. Some of them, like the quilombolas (relatives of ancient runaway slaves) and indigenous natives, have occupied the region for hundreds of years.
And just like the Cerrado, these poor communities are also being threatened in the maintenance of their historical cultural attributes. As the land occupation by large farms and agricultural enterprises advances, these people are being oucasted from the areas of their traditional settlements.
I started taking pictures in the go-kart races where I participated. Gradually I was trying to evolve my technique, improving equipment and seeking knowledge through courses and literature.
Among my areas of interest highlight landscape photography and urban, especially using black and white as a form of expression.
In 2014 and 2015, I lived in Miami, taking the opportunity to improve my technique with great American photographers like John Batdorff, Kurt Budliger and Robert Chaplin.
I love to travel and I visited more than 50 countries. For me, photography is an excellent excuse to be on the road! In addition to the contact with other cultures, travel possible click a variety of subjects such as National Parks of the American West, the Havana hidden from tourists, the daily life of Paris, Northern lights, etc

entry description
The "Traditional Peoples of Cerrado" is a personal project that aims to register the people and daily life of the several traditional peoples that inhabit the Cerrado, a vast savanna area in the Brazilian hinterland.For those who do not know, traditional people are people who occupy a region historically and have their habits, traditions and beliefs transmitted orally, from generation to generation. Some of them, like the quilombolas (relatives of ancient runaway slaves) and indigenous natives, have occupied the region for hundreds of years.
And just like the Cerrado, these poor communities are also being threatened in the maintenance of their historical cultural attributes. As the land occupation by large farms and agricultural enterprises advances, these people are being oucasted from the areas of their traditional settlements.
