Luciana Cavalcanti: Brazil
Do you like this story?
Based in Sao Paulo, Brazilian photographer Luciana Cavalcanti, has an unusal style which is showcased in her Colors of Figures project, and which I'm happy to bring to the pages of TTP. Luciana worked as a freelance photographer, as well as working with Brazilian newspapers.
Her colorful, cropped and blurred images explore the popular traditional (a lot of dancing as befits Brazil) festivals of Recife and Olinda, using saturated color and long exposures. There are a number of superb images here, and while some are -in my opinion- perhaps too blurry, it's an interesting style designed to focus on the colors and movements rather than on details.
I read that Luciana is working on a Colors of Figures video project, which presumably will be available as a multimedia website when completed. It will be an interesting watch, since her photographs are so full of frenetic motion. I wish her photographs had a soundtrack of the festivals' music, and hope her video project gets to completion quickly...perhaps a flash-based multimedia slideshow?!
Although Luciana's website would benefit from a facelift, her photography is well worth visiting. Here it is: Colors of Figures
