Artist Statement
I photograph native cultures (tribal, rural) and nature (rainforest, savanna, desert, aquatic, mountain) in tropical countries (Latin America, Africa, some Asia). I am careful to correctly identify photographs with scientific name whenever relevant and possible, consulting a specialist if necessary. Some of my key concerns are the preservation of cultural and of natural diversity. I hope that my photography, used mainly in educational media, will contribute toward that goal. More recently my preoccupations have extended to global warming and climate change. Currently I photograph the Cerrado (savannas) and the rural people (small farmers, cowboys) of the Central Brazil Highlands. I emphasize the image collections: Tropical ecology concepts, processes; Rainforest; Babies, children, teenagers; Tourist / travel destinations ; Brazilian economy; Environment, biodiversity; Indian tribes; Religion, Colonial churches, Shamanism, Social Issues.
