10 April - 18 June 2006 A Photographic Exhibition about Brazilian Women in London by the Brazilian Photographer Luiz Fernando Gomes

Students, housewives, entrepreneurs, nannies or solicitors. They're all Brazilian and all live in London. But photographer Luiz Fernando Gomes wanted to go beyond their daily facade.

In SOUL BRAZIL - Energy Beyond the Vision, Gomes presents a series of portraits of women who are self-assured, be it walking in the park, smiling on the tube or holding a pair of socks for an unborn baby.

"Lots of people think that Brazilian women only know how to samba and wear bikinis. I wanted to challenge this negative image", explains the photographer. Source: Jungle Drums Magazine
