About Luiz Braga

Luiz Braga (1956) was born, lives, and works in Belém, in the northern Brazilian state of Pará, part of the Amazon region. He began his career in 1975 photographing in black and white, and in the 1980s discovered the vibrant colors of "ribeirinho" life. Since then, he has documented the everyday scenes of this world, always avoiding stereotypes. With a humanistic and natural approach, his photographs reflect a close connection to the people and environments he portrays, using black and white, infrared, and color techniques. He is currently working on a long-term project on Marajó Island, also in Pará.
