Analog reportage Brasil, 2023

This reportage was realized in different regions of Brazil with analogue photography, a medium through which I experiment with visual language to broaden the plurality of approaches and methodologies that can expand the horizons of ethnographic research and narration.

This analog exploration helped me to tell stories where digital images fall short, offering a tactile and evocative narrative experience and allowing me to get in depth of imaginaries that transcend mere classical ‘participant observation’.

Through the use of the analogue camera, I was able to take pictures without being too intrusive with people or the natural environment, and it allowed me to experiment with light and shapes, also giving rise to dreamlike images rich in effects and symbolism.

Through this medium one can also go to represent all those dreamlike or spiritual aspects that are very often difficult to describe or explain only through rational language and the ‘academic journal’.

In these photos, one can grasp both the everyday life of urban places and the strong connection with nature, emphasizing the need to document the multiverse that arises from human-nature-environment relations.
