Niemeyer's Brasilia

“Niemeyer’s Brasilia” is a series of photos conceived when I was visiting Brasilia for the first time in 2012. I was fascinated by Brasilia, which seems futuristic and trapped in time. The entire city was shaped by the works of architect Oscar Niemeyer, whose presence is felt in every corner of the city, from the spectacular Cathedral of Brasilia to the more intimate chapels and monuments. Niemeyer had unprecedented influence over the design of the city from its beginnings until his death in 2012, a span that lasted over 50 years. There is no other place in the world where one architect had so much influence, which explains my fascination with his buildings. Niemeyer's Brasilia won 2nd Place in Night Photography at the 2013 IPA Awards and also won Honorable Mention at the 2013 Prix de la Photographie, Paris. The series has since been published in newspapers and magazines around the world in 12 countries and 8 languages, including: Newsday, Correio Braziliense (Brazil), Jornal O Globo (Brazil), The Greek Star, Mako (Israel), DesignBoom, Dezeen, ArchDaily, Casa Vogue (Brazil), Dodho Magazine (Spain), Lensa Magazine, SpaceKoo Magazine (china), and DesignFolio Magazine (New Zealand).
