Presente by Juarez Malavazzi
I consider myself a photo-documentarian of everyday life on the streets. And in the coming and going of people on public transport we have a real portrait of these souls who, in São Paulo, sometimes have to use four transfers to get from home to work. And the other way around.

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.

The lomo camera resurfaced around the world at the end of the 1990s thanks to some Austrians who were crazy about analog photography. It was originally a Russian camera, but with the advent of the internet, it became available all over the world. I bought one and had a lot of fun on the streets of São Paulo. The small camera allows for spontaneous shots and the quality of the negatives gives the images a freshness that is unmistakable.
