São Paulo: Urban Reflections" is a compelling series of ten black-and-white street photographs capturing the essence of life in Brazil's largest city. Each image reveals raw slices of urban existence—furtive glances, marginalized struggles, and the invisible barriers that connect and divide us. With high contrast and intimate framing, these photographs go beyond documentation, highlighting the universal quest for freedom, dignity, and connection. Through metaphor and empathetic observation, this series powerfully explores the shared human experience within São Paulo's vibrant pulse.
