Vidigal – Rio de Janeiro by Juarez Malavazzi
I was in Rio de Janeiro working as a model for an American brand. The photographer was Ellen Von Unwerth. When we arrived in the Vidigal community, we were greeted by these children and the photo is a perfect snapshot of the joy that reigns, despite all the violence around these communities, which are run by drug traffickers.

Born in Brazil, I am a self-taught photographer with a background as an international model, having been photographed by the biggest names in fashion photography while living in Europe and the United States. Inspired by legends like Albert Watson, Robert Capa, and Henri Cartier-Bresson, I transitioned into film, earning a degree in film directing from New York University. My work focuses on capturing everyday city life, reflecting my humanist and naturalist perspective.
