A visual exploration of Brazil's Northeast Coast

Brazil's northeast coastal region feels like stepping into a movie where every scene is like a canvas painted with a vibrant palette of colors, textures and compositions.

The best trips are often the ones I’ve taken where there’s no schedule or specific shot list. The only requirement is just to have daily motivation to explore and attempt to compose images that might also give the viewer a sense of what it’s like to be there wandering with you. It isn't difficult to find the inspiration in a region so full of natural beauty and lively energy you feel and see it around every corner.

Against the backdrop of weathered wooden boats, historical city centers and tranquil turquoise shores I tried to color hunt and layer compositions and vistas to tell a story through each image.

Gear used: Sony a6700 / iPhone 15 pro max.
