“The photographer uses much more than his finger to photograph, he uses his soul.”

Brazilians first arrived in America much sooner than you think.
In 1654 a group of 23 navigators originating in Recife, Brazil landed in New Amsterdam
(present day New York). They were received, not without struggles, by Peter Stuveysant who
was governor of the province at the time. These setilers were the founders of the first syna-
gogue in North America.
The exchanges between the two countries have never ceased since then.
In the twenty-first century Brazil is increasingly present in the New York fashion scene.
Designers such as Carlos Miele, Alexander Herchkovicht, Geova Rodrigues, Rosa Cha and
numerous models such as Gisele Bundchen, Tassara Vilaça, Bruna Bocchat, Solange Wilvert,
Emanuela de Paula, Bruna Tenorio, and Fabiana Semprebom all render the tone of the face of
Brazil in America,
What few know is that behind the world’s most beautiful faces there is a plethora of Brazil-
jans who work behind the scenes to make their pictures more stunning.
Brazilian photographers, bookers, makeup artists, producers, hair designers, and their teams
represent the most famous agencies today in the Big Apple.
Photographer ELIMAR COELHO desires to expose the contributions and collaborations of
these team members working in America needed to create the face of Brazil.
Mr. Coelho believes that the best way to achieve this goal is through a traveling exbibition
that will commence in New York and subsequently visit the centers of fashion both in Brazil
and the United States, The exhibition will portray the process that begins behind the scenes
f fashion in the dressing room and follow it ultimately to the catwalk. The catwalk is where
the presence of the masters of beauty is stamped on the skin, the clothing, and the hair; all of
which is captured by the nimble elegance of the Brazilian models that ensure the success of
canvalks all over the world.
