Meet Jaque.
I met her almost five years ago, and since then, while I moved to the U.S and became a photographer, she moved to Rio de Janeiro and became an actress.
Soap operas in Brazil are super popular. I mean, they dictate what’s on in fashion, style, and music. Jaque is a soap opera actress. Do the math. FANCY STUFF!
Walking around Curitiba with her was adventurous.
People staring, shouting, dropping jaws. So much so that we walked into this super cool building (I was pretty sure they wouldn’t let me shoot there) and the security guard said nothing. I set my equipment, and took a bunch of gorgeous shots. 25 minutes later, the director of the place shows up and freaks out.
“HOW DARE YOU SHOOT INSIDE THIS BUILDING? YOU HAVE NO AUTHORITY!”
I said I was sorry, but explained that no one warned me that it was forbidden.
The attention then turns to the security guard who ha no explanation for his negligence.
Thing is, he did not take his eyes away from Jaque since we stepped foot on the place. No wonder he didn’t notice my 25lbs. worth of gear.
Too bad for the director, the place was amazing and I took full advantage of it.
Oh yeah.
