From the series: Carnival na Lona no Brasil, (Carnival on Canvas in Brazil)
This image of street carnival in Rio de Janeiro's impoverished Campo Grande neighborhood is part of "Carnival on Canvas" the ongoing photographic essay recording three elements of Rio de Janeiro's street carnival. The photographer employs a weathered canvas background to create an instant studio for the images.
