In Brazil: Life is Centered Around the Beaches and Dance


From the singing sales pitch of beach vendors to the echoing roar of soccer fans at the Maracana stadium, there is a percussive quality to the everyday life in Brazil that is hard to miss, but not always easy to photograph.
This feeling was captured by Italian photographers Edoardo Delille and Gabriele Galimberti, who travelled to Brazil to follow in the footsteps of Rio de Janeiro's residents, capturing their exuberance, vibrancy and uniqueness.
 For many Brazillians, lounging in the beach is a life’s ritual
                                       
'The soul of Brazil is dancing,' Delille said. 'It's the same sort of samba dance you can find in the feet of a posh girl from Leblon to the feet of a girl in the favela.'
Each series of photos produces a pattern, of bodies, products, personalities and all-things Brazilian. The photos are tiled together with the best picture on the right side.
Some of the photos were shot in a studio, some were shot on scene and some were taken with a high-definition camera that flew nearly 100 feet into the sky.

Fascinating stuff, if you ask me….viva Brazil!
