EXPO PHOTO

UNDER THE MAGICAL BAHIA SUN

Born in Salvador, Bahia, Danilo Sanches has always been attracted to the colours and joy of his homeland. Its natural beauty and culture shine through in his photography. The photographer holds a degree in computer science, and splits his time between his trade and his art.

He has collaborated with the Salvador PhotoClub, acting as the general director as well as a board member, and participated in biennales and photo exhibits in Brazil. Living in Montreal for the past year hasn’t altered Danilo’s strong “baiano” accent. Rather than photographing the Saint Joaquim market or the Chapada Diamantina paths, he prefers to meet people like M. João, and have a lengthy chat in a hut made of hay on the edge of the Biopeba beach.

According to him, these are the moments that make photography, with or without a camera.
