HONORABLE MENTION

TITLE: Rituals of faith in Nepal

I am a 51 years old brazilian photographer, who started to photograph late, only 5 years ago, when I stopped working as a sales representative. Since then I have dedicated myself to photography, trying to make up for lost time. I have a strong focus on documental photography (religion interests me most) and nature.
This serie is about the religious syncretism with the budism and hinduism in Nepal, these two religions share faiths and worship commom deities in temples and monasteries. Last year I went for the third time to Nepal, once more I photograph both religions, trying to get the rituals, the gestures...and mainly the devotion of this faithful nation.
Last year I won the best photography in Brasilia Photo Show (Agribusiness).
