For years now, I have been photographing people during the Carnival in Rio de Janeiro. Despite what most people know, the best part of Carnival is not the samba schools, but the street blocks where people put on costumes and makeup, and party all day long.

Being a participant of the Carnival in the street blocks for over 20 years, I created a project called Humanos do Carnaval (Humans of Carnival), and for 5 years, I have been taking portraits. Hope you enjoy them!

Dionysus? Pan? Amazing makeup skills, especially when it comes to eye-shadows! (And here I am, being in my twenties and not knowing how to use any other thing than mascara.)

Quick! Someone write a book about a group of glittery gods and goddesses. I need this in my life.

    I like the effect of the different textures in the glitter types - hadn't thought of doing that before. It's very effective.
