Antonio Schubert

Brazilian, I live and work in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Photography for me is contemplation. But despite a personality given to the observation of the attitudes and reactions of others in various everyday situations, I only started to photograph at the age of 45.

I am interested in photography that has an affectionate eye over all things, whether it is the one that approaches the human being as an individual or as an element inserted in the landscape, which manifests itself as a pure concept, which is remembrance, amazement or insufficiency.

I honed my photography skills by studying the work of photographers I really admire, like Harry Gruyaert, Robert Polidori, Saul Leiter, the Webbs and João Ripper.

Between 2012 and 2021, I settled in the old Bhering chocolate factory in the port area of Rio de Janeiro, where I was able to develop new activities as a photographer and establish partnerships in the field of creative economy, including Design Rio Week, "Buda de Fora", "Fábrica Aberta", SOMA and Circuito Interno, events that brought together visual artists inside and outside the factory, with open studios and works, portfolios and creative processes presented directly to the public by the participants.
