In February 2022, I captured the magic of the Rio de Janeiro Carnival. The photos showcase the vibrant energy of the Sambadrome, with its stunning floats and colorful costumes. Each image reflects the contagious joy of the crowd and the passion of the samba dancers in action. The nighttime celebration, with its dazzling lights, adds a special touch to this festival that brings thousands together in a burst of music and culture.

These photos capture a moving prayer performed by the Zócalo dance group. The images showcase the blend of spirituality and dance in this unique ceremony, where fluid movements and traditional costumes highlight the connection between the community and its ancestral practices. The Zócalo, with its imposing presence, provides a backdrop for this heartfelt ritual that honors cultural traditions in the heart of the city.
