Gustavo: Hi there, I’m a 32 years old guy born in
Cassia, a small town in Brazilian countryside, now living in Sao Paulo. I
first got interested in photography during my journalism course at uni,
around 2001. Maybe a bit earlier, as I drew a lot as a child, roughly,
and photographed school parties with a point and shoot.
After university, I lived in London for 1 year, working as a waiter
and just spending time. I bought a handycam with miniDV tapes and
started filming everything around, later editing with Windows Movie
Maker. I was inspired by those late boring Godard movies, which are
mostly about apparently random images. These were the origins of my
street photography, as the process was about the same – wandering alone
and watching people.
