Product Description

Vila Mimosa takes us behind the scenes of Rio's notorious sex industry as leading European fashion photographer, Schneider, mixes fashion and reportage to startling effect. In the harsh Brazilian back streets on a fashion shoot, Schneider took the opportunity to capture something of the sub-culture in which he found himself. Set in the grim surroundings of the Vila Mimosa, his shoot mixes models with local prostitutes and their customers. The resulting images are dangerous, raw and, at times, shocking, yet they allude to the glamour of the catwalk.

raw
this book is pretty full on - if you are expecting an erotica driven, sexed up, glamourised photoshoot behind the scenes of a brothel then you are in for a surprise. This book shows the rough edges, true the prostitutes are posing for the camera, playing at being models but the surroundings are faces are tough.
