Favelas Usually related to violence, drugs, and poverty, favelas have their own rules, pace, and way of living in a scenario with no financial resources. However, they are the cradle of carioca's culture, full of happiness, colors, art, and creativity. Portraits I love people. A portrait is a perfect way to know better and more people. I decided to use portraits to enhance visibility for many social problems and help NGOs keep doing what they do best: help people.
