Márcio Bessa is Brazilian and started to take pictures at the end of 80’s, when he bought a small automatic camera. The idea was simple: press the button and the camera would do the rest. But the result presented was different from what ‘he had seen’. Since then, he has tried to make the camera sees what he sees.

Influenced by the work of André Kertész, Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Doisneau, he is used to walk around capturing everyday life scenes that are showed in front of his eyes. A dynamic process, without any preparation, just seeing beyond seeing.

"My passion has never been for photography "in itself", but for the possibility of recording in a fraction of a second, the emotion of the subject and the beauty of the form”
Henri Cartier-Bresson
