“Ramos” by Julio Bittencourt shows life on Piscinão de Ramos, a Brazilian beach frequented by those who live mostly in the favelas surrounding it. To create the series, which was recently exhibited at Paris Photo, Ramos spent four seasons photographing at the beach. Bittencourt says he feels that it’s on the beaches that Brazil’s national characteristics can be felt. Follow the link in our bio to see more from the series on #PDNPOTD. [Photo: © Julio Bittencourt]
