It is immortalize a moment that can last little more than a second, depicting everyday, recording a fact or revealing an emotion.

It is by photography that I look and think the world. I also intend to develop a consistent and coherent body of work with regards to my choices in photography.

Check out the gallerySAVANNA IMPRESSIONISTIC There are times when the photographic activity is a process of total detachment. When there is no will and a goal of what to do, the procedure becomes purely intuitive. We enter into an endless space where nothing is given or pre-established. The commitment is to identify with the charm, which manifests itself in. Imbued with this provision, the Austrian photographer Ernst Haas once said that photography is a big ocean we swim in different ways and at different depths. I think that this perception has to do with what we are talking about. I say this because in the segment of our professional work we are subject to obey the guidance of those who hire us. That is, we have to capture the images according to what the customer wants. There is nothing to discuss, the result has to please the contractor. As the path closed every day, this superb vegetation in greatly provides a free shot. We faced with wonderful compositions in space chromatic aberration as the aesthetic form. The Vital Energy is expressed in various forms of life, giving us a grand spectacle. And in the context of creative and artistic impulse come times when painting and photography have common expressions. Since the source of drinking the artists to borrarem its beautiful screens, also quenches the thirst of photographers sensitized by light. This exhibition SAVANNA IMPRESSIONISTIC, like other picture I made, were drawn up in full relaxation time interval and momentary harmony with the image that appears in our universe. It is a personal project!
Check out the galleryMarcos Santilli became a professional photographer in the early 1970s, while still studying architecture at the University of Brasilia. At the invitation of Luis Humberto Pereira, he began working at Jornal de Brasília. After a season in London, where he went to study photography, Santilli began to work for the publisher Abril, whose branch and Brasilia covered the entire northern region. In this period, from 1974 to 79, he was able to make about 15 trips to indigenous areas. He published mainly in the magazine Veja, but also in other publications of the publisher, like the extinct Reality. He was among the Tucano and Maku, on the border of Colombia, the Urubu of Maranhão and the Xavante and Pareci, in Mato Grosso. He also participated in an expedition to Rondônia, when he first visited the Suruí Paiter in 1978. With them, Santilli acquired great familiarity and continued to visit them over the years. The article published after the expedition, which lasted about a month, lifted the complexity of road construction and formation of cities from that road to the Amazon: hordes of immigrants implementing the civilization project in western Brazil. The impact of these migrations on indigenous communities aroused his curiosity about the human and environmental transformations of this colonization movement in Rondônia, which led him to develop, in 1977, the Nharamaã project of audio-photographic documentation. It did not start, used its own resources to finance it, and then obtained a grant from the Guggenheim Foundation to continue this project.
