Summary:

Considered by critics as one of the pioneers of nature photography in Brazil, Araquém Alcântara (São Paulo, Brazil 1951) is actively engaged in the fight for the environment and for the preservation of forests and national parks. He is the first photographer to document all national parks in Brazil and produce a special edition in collaboration for the National Geographic Society, (Bichos do Brasil). He is also the first photographer to conduct a systematic essay on the country's ecosystems and conservation units, a work that only ended after twenty-two years of incessant expeditions through the backcountry of Brazil. Awarded and recognized as one of the greatest of his generation, Alcântara commemorates his 50 years of career with his book Brasileiros by graphically documenting Brazil in all its ethnic, economic, geographical and cultural extension.
