Araquêm Alcântara (1951) is hailed as a pioneer of nature photography in Brazil, renowned for his systematic documentation of the country's National Parks over three decades. His images serve as a poignant manifesto for ecological preservation, spotlighting the beauty and diversity of ecosystems while advocating for their conservation.
Since 1970, Alcântara has dedicated himself entirely to capturing the essence of nature and Brazilian culture, producing a vast body of work that includes 47 books on environmental topics, numerous awards, and exhibitions. Through his lens, he intertwines the exuberance of fauna and flora with the richness of popular culture, showcasing festivals and daily life scenes in vibrant detail.
Alcântara's photography not only celebrates the natural splendor of Brazil but also sheds light on social issues, portraying the harmony and occasional clashes between humanity and the environment. While his work idealizes the landscape, it also serves as a call to action, urging viewers to cherish and protect the country's natural heritage.

Presentation
Araquém Alcântara is considered by critics as a forerunner of nature photography in Brazil and one of the most important photographers active in this country. Since 1970, he has been working full-time on the documentation of nature and the Brazilian people.
His vast production includes 47 books on environmental themes, 22 books as a co-author, five international awards, 32 national awards, and 75 solo shows, as well as countless essays and reports for newspapers and magazines in Brazil and abroad.
The first photographer to have documented all Brazil's national parks, he was also the first Brazilian photographer ever commissioned to produce a special edition for the National Geographic Society.
Araquém is a strong supporter of Brazil's natural heritage, particularly the Amazon Rainforest and the Atlantic Forest. It is also pointed out by critics as one of the precursors of nature photography in Brazil as one of the most important photographers operating in the country.
His work has garnered international acclaim and is currently a national hallmark and source of inspiration for new photographers.
