BEHIND THE photo

The Santa Marta Favela rises sharply over Rio’s South Zone, stacked homes pressed against the hillside of Morro Dona Marta. Life moves through narrow passageways and tight quarters, shaped by texture and light. On this rainy day the rhythm shifted, rainwater threading through the alleys and softening the edges. What struck me most was the resilience within it all, the quiet beauty of an environment alive with history, hardship, and an unshakable spirit.

“My first time in a favela was fleeting moments I could never predict. More often than not, my camera was allowed to be seen and It was one of the most challenging, yet rewarding, environments I’ve ever got to explore and make photos in."

"

I had wandered off during a shoot, scouting for walls and colors without straying too far from the Favela Tour I was on. Just steps away from a kid chewing his nails in the alley, I noticed this cat perched on a chipped blue ledge.
