Hi
After a hectic and exhaustic Fashion Week in Freezing New York I decided to head down to Rio De Janiero, Brazil to soak up the humid 35degree weather. It's been a long time dream to do a personal reportage story on Carnival. Day 1 includes shows from Brazil's Younger generation of Samba Schools, later on in the week is when the professional samba schools parade and nudity and sexuality isn't taboo.
Kids and Adolecents parade down dancing the samba adorned in cultural themed outfits

shooting available light with the 14-24 which i love i get in real close to the action and the 200-400VR f4 with my recently fixed D3's









more to come later.

The last one is an absolute corker Wendell. Did you have special access to get so close??

Thankyou

yes i organised my special access a while back, but it was hard as no one here really speaks much english

awesome photos Wendell, great to follow ones dreams, you can sure be an inspiration that one should follow their dreams.

As Suren, I really love the last one and I love the looks you capture with the kids.

Looking forward to the rest of your reportage.

Cheers,

André

I will move with the mob for the last as it is great.
I also like the interesting composition of #2.
Glad to here the D3's are up and going again.

Nice stuff wendell, as always. The last image is great the contact with the eyes really does it for me!

on in the week is when the professional samba schools parade and nudity and sexuality isn't taboo.

well you will just have to post some of those now won't you

You certainly have any eye for the glamorous Wendell
