TITLE: People of Passa Quatro

The photos presented here are part of a larger work entitled Gente de Passa Quatro (People of Passa Quatro), the name of the small town of 16,000 inhabitants where I live in the interior of Brazil. I photographed more than 200 people, for free, just to have a temporal sample of the population at a given moment. All photos in studio, with the same light, the same lens and the same background. There are maids, musicians, doctors, teachers, sweepers, poets, in short, people of all classes and creeds.

AUTHOR: ANDRE MOTTA DE SOUZA (Brazil)

I have been a Corporate Photographer for the past 10 years, and have registered numerous executives in the Energy segment in Brazil. I am a Specialist in Digital Asset Management, with a strong emphasis on Metadata and Taxonomy. This made me responsible for the Image Collection of Petrobras, the largest Brazilian company, with a collection of over 200,000 images. My work as a Petrobras photographer illustrates some textbooks, commemorative books from partner companies and Petrobras itself, as well as publication in magazines in the oil and energy sector. Retired, I am currently creating abstract images and I have fun making portraits and also photographing nature in the small town I moved to in the interior of Brazil.
