Two days earlier, I photographed him when John Brennan first briefed him on the shootings. Throughout that day, he reacted as we all did, which people witnessed when he delivered his statement a few hours later. Before we headed to Newtown for the Sunday night vigil, he went to watch his daughter Sasha, 11, rehearse for her ballet performance in the Nutcracker. He was going to miss her performance that night because of the trip to Newtown. During breaks in the rehearsal, he worked on the speech. His expression in this photograph may be subtle to the viewer, but not to me. There is emotion and resolve etched on his face, and I know this was perhaps the toughest day of his Presidency.” — Chief official White House photographer Pete Souza: Portrait of a Presidency

See The World Through New Lenses

The project Trecho 2.8 (Excerpt 2.8), an initiative of Instituto Brazis in partnership with Instituto GENS, gathered a group of ten homeless people who have demonstrated the desire to learn photography and see their reality through new lenses – literally. This initiative is not meant for charity or some sort of palliative aid - they looked for really engaged people who wanted to turn it into a profession.

After interviewing potential candidates, the Institute selected the participants, who gathered in meetings over five months to discuss and practice shooting until they reached the final result: genuine portraits of the reality experienced by each of them.

Together they selected the 50 best pictures which are now on display in the Op Art store space on Oscar Freire street, a mecca for the wealthy in São Paulo, famous for its luxury brands and affluent public.

Meanwhile, the new photographers will work professionally for Caititi, a company that is being created by the Brazis to generate income for the participants, who will share all the net profit of the business.
