Reflective Portfolio: Invisible Lives, Universal Dreams

I have been involved in the making of socially engaged photography for over two decades, collaborating with participants in the UK and abroad. I initiated my first project in 1998 as a student of fine art and photography in the UK, working with girls living on the streets of Brazil’s major cities. It was during that first project that I felt it was ethically appropriate to have an exchange and an invitation for participation and it was also an opportunity to start to develop feelings and a methodology that have guided me and permeated my way of working through collaboration since.
