Leo Aversa

Leo Aversa is a celebrated Brazilian photographer and columnist known for his vibrant portraits of iconic musicians over his 35-year career. He recently launched his photobook 'Álbum', showcasing images of 100 Brazilian musicians, many of which were published in the newspaper O Globo. Aversa's work captures the essence of his subjects, often infused with a sense of humor and spontaneity, as reflected in amusing anecdotes from his photography sessions. His contributions to the arts extend beyond photography, as he also pens reflections on his experiences with notable figures in Brazilian music. In a charitable move, Aversa is donating the royalties from 'Álbum' to Retiro dos Artistas, a foundation that supports aging artists.
