The virtual exhibition “Amazonian Eye” is now receiving a selection of photographs by João Ramid, who in 25 images portrays the diversity of the Amazon. The photographer has roots in the region since childhood, when he lived with family and friends in Pará and Amapá, and built a good part of his career traveling through the nine Brazilian states that are part of the Legal Amazon, portraying segments such as gastronomy, culture and local architecture.

The virtual exhibition is a dedicated space on the Liberal Amazon project website that aims to give more visibility to the photographic production of professionals who portray the region. In addition to the images, the reader can also know a brief profile of the author and have access to the artist's contacts.

This month's selection of photographs, by João Ramid, aims to portray the different aspects of his career, which passes through many segments (photojournalism, advertising, architecture and art), but always finds a common element: the quest to express his way of seeing the world through what the professional calls "writing of light".

"Something I'm very dedicated to is respecting the culture of the places I photograph. I can't go to a new place for work without delving deeper, doing some research beforehand, because I believe that photography is visual information and, therefore, I always try to deliver content through images”, he explains.

Debut exhibition - The debut exhibition, published in July on liberalamazon.com, was by award-winning photographer from Pará, Luiz Braga. At the Liberal Amazon gallery, Braga highlights that he chose to present works in black and white. “[Black and white production] is still being done, but in the 70s, 80s and 90s, it was a constant part of my work. So, after the invitation, I chose to cut out this material. It's all made with film, as they say today, analog,” he explains. Check this link.
