Cover for the C&A Brasil - facebook Canvas - NBA collection
Local is a project of C&A Brasil commissioning photographers to focus a specific collection but freely expressing his vision. I was given the NBA collection - so I hired the best funk carioca dancers and a soundsystem - and place them under the Viaduto de Madureira - a symbolic spot of the youth and Black culture resistance for decades, where the famous Baile Charme happens weekly, as well as other parties. The result was a Facebook Canvas (opens only on cel phones & tablets) and an Instagram slideshow.
Vincent Rosenblatt was commissioned by fashion brand C&A Brazil to realize a free themed photo essay with the only mandatory task to include their NBA collection, as a part of their #LocalCeA project for Instagram & facebook canvas.
The idea was to offer a tribute to Baile Funk & Black Parties, with my friends & favorite urban dancers in Rio de Janeiro. Featuring Passinho dancers Celly IDD, Ronald Sheick, Jonathan Neguebites; Sabrina Ginga, Funk & Samba dancer; Thainá Santos, Jazz Funk dancer & her real life partber, B-boy Leandro Skillo. And Jessica Maurice, model from the Rio Black scene. Make-up and hair styling by Maia Boitrago.
