Bringing together photographers in an open place, each with their photographic material, their stool, their snack and much desire to learn and share their knowledge, simple, this is the goal of the Viver Photography workshop, idealized by photographer Evandro Rocha ( 34 years old), from Sao José do Rio Preto, within Sao Paulo.
The proposal, according to Evandro, is also to talk about creativity in photography and share inspirations and experiences, as well as to challenge the current values of photography. All in harmony with the environment, to make the human experience and “out of the ordinary”. box. “
- “I’ve seen a lot of photographers looking for great lenses.
- Like having popular photos.
- A lot of social media followers.
- High-end equipment and making a lot of money.
- But is this the path a photographer should point to?” Evandro reflects on the motivation that led him to create the event.
Evandro also notes that the project does not intend to have incentives or private sponsorship, “what matters is the collective interest, it is an action created by people for people”.
On day 3 the first edition of Viver Fotografia was held, in the city of Limeira (SP), which brought together 50 photographers and a dog, and the next one is being planned. Viver is a itinerant and can cross any city, anywhere in Brazil.
“Where there are a large number of subscribers, I will go. Whether in a field, a farm, a tourist place or under a tree ?, guarantees Evandro. ” The most interested cities will take precedence and we will open a discussion forum to choose the best date and place,” he explains.
Only one group of photographers needs to move and request the workshop through the website: www. viver. fot. br. Registration is free, as well as participation in the event.
