Tatiana Cardeal. Get yours at bighugelabs.com/flickr

 

Independent | photographer | visual artist | dreamer, based in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

For a decade, I worked for large Brazilian magazines and newspapers as an art director and designer. Since 2005 I've been concentrating my activities in the production of photography, mostly documentary and travel. I've been specialized in in-depth documentary projects that investigate the development of a visual language that enhances the social/human development, prioritizing my work with NGOs, Foundations, Institutes and Universities, on cultural and educational areas.

 

[ Some NGOs and other non-profit organizations have been requesting that I license use of my photos to them free of charge, as my body of work has a very strong focus on social issues. Photography is my vocation and NGOs are mostly of my clients, so please, don't ask me free photos.]

 

Apologies for delayed messages, lost emails, some absence, and not adding all contacts I wished to able to add and manage.

Her photos are not only inspiratonal, but it's significant. Because it's one thing to be aware of the things that are happening arond the world. But it's quite another when an individual makes such a commitment and passion behind each and every project. I'm simply speechless for words... Wow. :-)

December 26, 2006

Tatiana I can recalled that she is one of my 1st contact in flickr. With her works published in major photos publications. I need not further to say ... That is No word!! Thank you for loving kindness & sharing with the net community. You are great.......

I don't think Tatiana needs any testimonial... her photos talk clearly about her eye and her sensitiveness. Her work is a rare jewel in a world where the awareness is often considered like heresy. She shows us "the real thing", without bubbles.

Tati Cardeal lectures her viewers into life, color, dignity, pride and freedom. Her voice travels with dreams, her words amplify life and her vision touch the most intimate fabric of our hearts. It may be for her true human nature of profound sense of community but It's not very complicated to see love written all over Tati's work. Portraits filled with life, sensibility and truth, possible the same attributes that she reflects when she is taking them. Welcome to Tatiana's world.

Tatiana show us her soul with photos depicting their confrontation with human rights issues around the world, the everyday struggle to survive, Henri Cartier-Bresson wrote that great photographs come about in that fraction of a second when the head, heart and eye find perfect alignment in an axis of the spirit, Tatiana has this gift. The photos of Tatiana reveal the precision of her vision, the breadth of her mind and imagination, the reach of her spirit and most important of all, the size of her heart, as expansive and all embracing as the Brazil she love so dearly.

Tatiana looks at Brazil's soul and captures it like few others do. In my opinion, her commitment to portrait the many different faces of our country is a unique and a rare labor of love. Each photo is both a work of art and a display of our culture. Tatiana is a fantastic Human Being.

Tatiana is a heart with legs and arms ;) She's a very sweet person that I had the pleasure to meet in the midle of a march against Bush in São Paulo. All her beautiful work is made with passion and strength, as you can see in her photostream. Thank you, Tati. :)*

i love Tatiana's work. i especially love how the compassion of her vision is expressed through her imagery. she champions the lives of the less fortunate. she uses her camera to show their living conditions. but she does not do so in an exploitive way. her work is respectful. it honors the people that it is about. her work is activist art. her work is art that comes directly from the heart. although her images are often made in the service of journalism, to spread the word, the work is also strong on artistic terms. when looking at the work it is immediately apparent that her visual skills are quite refined. her compositions are strong, as is her sense of light and color. but most importantly, when i see her images i am moved. to me photography is primarily about expressivity, about one's ability to express and convey one's own vision and one's own feelings about one's surroundings and about the world in general. Tatiana's work expresses itself directly and beautifully.

Some people are born, live, and die, and exit the world without leaving a trace. Others can whirl through a room and irrevocably alter the lives of everyone in it. Tatiana is the second kind. Her eye shows the humanity in every subject she points her lens at. There are few photojournalists or portrait artists of her caliber in the world today. She is my biggest inspiration and a good friend.

I had the good fortune to be welcomed to Flickr with a typically generous comment from Tatiana. I quickly realised that here was a natural photographer with a capacity to reach deeper than other people, with a capacity to inspire. Tatiana remains my favourite photographer on Flickr.

Tatiana is not only an excellent photographer, she is a social historian and her images portray the world as it is rather that the way some of us in the "western (affluent) world", think it is!
