the Spirit & Dance of Capoeira
In pictures

Capoeira is one of those art forms that makes you stop in your tracks. A dance, a fight, a meditation. It carries history, energy, and pride in every movement. As a photographer, it’s a dream to shoot, all flowing lines, spontaneous sparks, and full-body expressions of rhythm and energy.

You’re not just watching, you’re feeling it. You get pulled into the energy between players. I shoot fast but intentionally, waiting for those moments of suspension where a body arches mid-air or eyes lock in perfect, silent strategy. What moves me most about capoeira is how it embodies resistance and freedom. Rooted in strength, culture, and community, it’s about being agile in life as much as in movement. That philosophy inspires how I respectfully shot this, with a focus on connection over perfection.
