Photo Reportage: Carnivals in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil

In February, I traveled to Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, to document the vibrant and culturally rich Carnival celebrations. Salvador's Carnival is renowned for its Afro-Brazilian heritage, blending traditional African rhythms, dance, and rituals with contemporary Brazilian festivities. My photo reportage aimed to capture the essence of this dynamic event, highlighting the colorful parades, energetic dancers, and the communal spirit that unites participants.

I wandered through the streets of Salvador, where every corner pulsated with the beat of samba, axé, and other local music styles. The city was alive with the sights and sounds of revelry. I photographed the elaborate costumes of the bloco groups, the massive trio elétrico trucks with live music, and the joyous interactions between locals and visitors. Each image aimed to convey the infectious energy and cultural pride that define Salvador's Carnival.
