Description: Since the end of the 1990s, Orlando Azevedo (b. Açores (Azores Archipelago) in 1949, lives and works in Curitiba since 1964) undertook the largest and longest photographic project in Brazil when he traveled 90,000km of the entire national territory in a 4x4 vehicle on the expedition Coração do Brasilʺ (Heart of Brazil), in order to document the human and natural heritage of the country. His 14th book, "Mestizo: Portrait of Brazil" is the outcome of this endless pilgrimage to the heart of this intense and immense country where the human being synthesis its diversity and multiplicity. Totally in black and white, they are portraits of anonymous Brazilians, people united by the great diaspora of the Portuguese language, whose greatness and beauty is in their miscegenation . "A makeup free Brazil, clean face and soul." --Page 13. The work also has portraits made in previous decades, since the 70s, still in analog format.
