Antonio Mari is a Brazilian journalist and photographer based in New York City, specializing in ethnographic subject matter--documenting peoples and cultures outside the mainstream of western civilization.
He has completed documentaries on the vanishing folklore festivals in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, the historic architecture of Brazil's colonial towns and the Amish community of Sugarcreek in Holmes County, Ohio. He has also spent almost a decade documenting the fragile existence of the Yanomami Indians in the Brazilian Amazon rain forest. His reportage on the subject has been widely published throughout the world, including multipage spreads in Newsweek , TIME Magazine, Science Magazine and the Boston Globe.
Naturally, I chose his work with the Yanomami to feature on TTP. The Yanomami generally refers to the indigenous tribespeople who live in an area that spans parts of the northwest Amazon Rainforest and southern Orinoco,
Antonio's website is Flash-based, as most photography websites are these days, and you need to choose his gallery The Yanomami: Children of Eden. It's an automatic slideshow of 27 photographs, and captions are available when clicking on the little arrow at the bottom.
