THIAGO RIBEIRO

Sports photographer would be the best definition, but also a very incomplete one. To be honest, more than interested on the moment of action, I'm fascinated by the in-between moments. Everyone sees the athletes during the race. But just a few get to understand what it takes to be there. 

​

So I would define myself  as a tremendous curious guy that loves the sport environment and tries to document it from an intimate perspective. My main goal when I'm shooting an athlete is to transmit an energy where s/he could feel relaxed enough to keep doing what s/he was supposed to be doing in a natural way. As if I'm not there. In other words, to build a relationship that goes far beyond the photo, even though just for an instant. 

​

What one can expect from my photography? What anyone is expecting, I guess. Trying to escape from the obvious is a way of living, not just part of my work as a creative.
