We love 'em young..! Please, don't get the wrong idea, but the young ones keep us sharp. That's why we were happy to receive mail from the young and talented Eleanor Carter. Eleanor is a media student, aspiring photographer, part-time model and full-time creative/positive person. All this and just 19 years old, that can only mean good things for the future! So, the only right thing to do was ask her some question and share this new talent with you all.

We've never been to Brazil, but we'd love to go. CFYE always had a big interest in Brazil, from the crazy favela movies to great football (read: proper football) the crisp white beaches, the women and Baile Funk rhythms. And every time we ask about Brazil, we keep on hearing the same word: Intense.

Â

And intense is what the pictures of Brazilian photographer Gui Christ show us. His work shows a true understanding of people and the world they live in. Real emotion can be found in every capture. Living in Rio, Gui visits the favelas around town to capture what is real, but he also takes long trips to poor villages in the midst of Brazil, to show you worlds that are far beyond yours or mine.

Â

This week his second exposition in the US (together with other great Brazilian photographers) called 'Brazil on screen' will be held in Boston. You better believe you will see more of this talented photographer.
So please, if you weren't sitting already, take a seat, light a cigarette, a spliff, pour yourself a glass of wine our do whatever you do to get relaxed. Relaxed? Good. Now take your time for this feature with the wonderful artist Gui Christ.

We first spotted this young photographer from Baltimore through our shuttercrack network. As your regular readers may know we are all about pushing great work and the people behind it. We really like the work and eagerness of our man, so we had no other choice then to reach out to him..
