About This PhotoThe Story Behind

Favelas in Brazil climb the hillsides of Rio de Janeiro, and this frame is Vidigal in the last light of the day, when the low sun spreads across the houses stacked up the slope. Vidigal sits directly above the beaches of Leblon and Ipanema, so the informal brick homes, rooftop water tanks and stair-streets share the frame with some of the most expensive real estate in the city.

Favelas are known for poverty and missing infrastructure, but Vidigal is also a tight community with one of the best views in Rio. Shot on a Canon EOS 7D.
