Capturing Beauty in the Banal with Street Photographer Gustavo Pereira Gomes

Street photographer Gustavo Pereira Gomes (@gustavominas) never gets bored. “Wherever I go, I keep an eye on the details,” says the 34-year-old from Minas Gerais, Brazil, who manages to find beauty in the banal. Whether in the small municipality of Cássia where he was born or in a metropolis like São Paulo, he wanders for inspiration. “I go out walking early in the morning or in the late afternoon, when the light is good, without any definite course in mind,” he says. “But I always have a camera with me.”

Through Gustavo’s lens, chance gains the contours of modern poetry through light, shadow and color. It is rare he returns without strong images: a silhouette reflected in a stained-glass window, a driver sleeping at the wheel, a passionate kiss, the hustle and bustle of a bus station — his windows into the passage of time.
