As the sun sets on the vibrant streets of Rio, Augusto Vasconcelos captures the raw, unbridled passion of Carnival. Bodies glistening with sweat and paint, strangers entwine in a dance as old as time. In the throes of samba and caipirinhas, inhibitions are shed like costumes, leading to intense, public trysts among the crowds. The air is thick with lust and the rhythm of drums, as the fetish for flesh reaches its zenith.
