Fine Art nominee

The initial idea of this series of photos is the old story of the castaway throwing himself into the sea, perhaps, his last request. Despair? It can also be considered one of the greatest possible displays of hope. In this world of disease, terrorism, tragedies caused by greed, millions of refugees and the hungry, I wondered what the necessary message would be. None! Healing, tolerance, food and justice are really necessary. Anyway, here are my very simple, almost childish messages ... just pass it on! Because we also have a lot of good in this world and because I believe in us

I'm Eduardo Costa Pinto, I was born and work in São Paulo, Brazil.
I believe, in fact, I have great expectations that photos can be used to tell stories and, if they have strength and sincerity, can reach people deeply, perhaps even move and transform.
