Albinos Project by Gustavo Lacerda.
For some years, albinism and its peculiar beauty arouse my attention. Since the beginning of 2009 I have been researching the universe of albinos and trying to bring them to the front of the camera. I chose the posing portrait in studio, valuing and seeking to mystify the production process: costumes, hair/makeup and backgrounds. The idea was to put them clearly in the forefront, a new situation for those who have always been an outsider.
This focus has caused them discomfort in the beginning, a certain strangeness to most of those portrayed but, at the same time, a proud too. Capture this moment with fidelity has been a major challenge and there arises the essence of the work.
