Life In Brazil
2012
Mario Tama, a
Getty Images staff photographer since 2001 and based in New York, has covered
conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan - as well as numerous humanitarian crises and
natural disasters in the US and around the world, including most recently the
earthquake in Haiti and the tornadoes in Joplin, Missouri. He's also spent
extensive time documenting Hurricane Katrina and it's aftermath. Mario will be
working on several feature stories in Brazil, ahead of the Rio +20 UN
Conference on Sustainable Energy, his first work featured in this post. The
summit aims to overcome years of deadlock over environmental concerns and marks
the 20th anniversary of the landmark Earth Summit in Rio in 1992. Brazil is now
the world's sixth largest economy and is set to host the 2014 World Cup and the
2016 Summer Olympics. Mario’s' editor on the project describes him as
passionate and enthusiastic about showing us pieces of a country in which he
has traveled before, drawn by the people, the culture and the
economics/development of the region.
