A studio photographer lost in the Amazon

My Scholarship entry - Children in Mali

Mali | Monday, November 17, 2014 | flickr photos

My name is Gonzaga Manso. I’m a young (26 years old) photographer, director and director of photography. I'm passionate about images. About light. About ideas and emotion.

I’m mainly focused on advertising and artistic work, being my personal projects a fundamental part of my creative development and my visual experimentation.

I've worked with a bunch of great brands and great ad agencies, and I've won several international prizes for those jobs. But right now I need a change, and I'm really interested to move forwards a new direction for me: travel photography. I would love to document and share the amazing beauty of nature and most over, the life experiences of those few people who are still connected to nature in a deep way.

This could be a great experience for me in order to learn a different kind of photography (I took 90% of my images in studio) and on the other hand, I think I could be an interesting option because of the quality of the pictures I´ll deliver and the different approach I´ll give to the project.

The pictures I've submited are really old, I took those 5 or 6 years ago... since then I haven't done any more travel pictures. Please, check out my website
