I was using a 300mm lens and when I zoomed in on the woman’s facial expression, there was a sense of presence: she was looking directly into my eye as if questioning my interest and therefore I wasn’t that close, besides being in the middle of other people. It is well known that a woman notices when someone is looking at her. She feels the energy of the observer.

Like every sailor does
This was the first image of the woman approaching the port of Manacapuru. The captain takes her children and a considerable load with her. I’m shooting from the harbor floats with a 300mm telephoto lens. It was because of this lens that I noticed the exceptional scene: a woman with her children and carrying a load to the city. In those terms it is not so easy. There are many women canoeing in short distances, locally, but this one soon showed her brave face. She was carrying a sterndrive engine and was coming with the current, for this reason, before touching the port, she went downstream and turned around so she could lean on the pier with the current against her. It’s like every sailor does!
