entry description
For many people living in the most disadvantaged areas of Rio de Janeiro, traversing the city and arriving at the beach in Ipanema represents the realisation of a dream. As a big equaliser, the sea allows Cariocas (the inhabitants of Rio) to mingle and celebrate their zest for life together, even if only for a suspended moment.about the photographer
