THE CONCEPT OF THE SUPER HERO HAS BEEN, FROM THE VERY FIRST STORIES THAT WERE EVER CREATED, PRESENT IN OUR IMAGINARY. FROM HERCULES TO OUR OWN DADS, ANYBODY CAN BE A SUPER HERO - IT ONLY DEPENDS ON WHO ARE THEY SAVING, AND FROM WHAT THEY ARE RESCUING THEM.

EVERYBODY NEEDS A SUPER HERO IN THEIR LIVES - SOMEONE TO CLING ON WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE YOU NEED SOME RESCUING FROM THE SITUATION YOU FEEL YOU’VE STEPPED INTO. HOWEVER, AS LIFE GOES BY, WE START TO REALIZE THAT THIS HELP WILL MOSTLY NOT COME WHEN WE ARE IN DESPERATE NEED OF IT. SOME-TIMES, WE NEED TO TURN OURSELVES INTO OUR OWN SUPER HEROES, SO WE CAN FEEL AS POWERFUL AS THEY ARE, AND FINALLY TURN THE TABLES.

SO, WHENEVER YOU’RE READY, PUT ON YOUR MASK AND CAPE, FOR NO SUPER HERO IS COMPLETE WITHOUT THOSE! OR JUST PLAY THE (INSIRA AQUI NOME REAL DO BATMAN Q EU NAO LEMBRO) AND SIT BACK WHILE NOBODY EVEN SUSPECTS OF YOUR TRUE IDENTITY…

CONSTANTLY DEPICTED IN ARTS, THE FACE REPRESENTS A DEEP CONNECTION TO OUR SUBCONSCIOUS, BEING A SORT OF GATE TO OUR THOUGHTS AND EMOTIONS. THE FACE, AS IT FOLLOWS, BECOMES ONE OF THE MOST DEPICTED SUBJECTS IN PHO-TOGRAPHY. THE ARTIST IS PASSIONATE ABOUT FEATURES, THUS THE IMPROVEMENT OF OUR PERCEPTION OF THEM, WHICH INFLUENCES DIRECTLY AND INDIRECTLY IN OUR WORKS, AS DO THE WORKS OF THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHERS OUT THERE.

IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF PHOTOGRAPHY, THE CONCEPT OF “FACE” EXPANDED ITSELF AND THE ART OF CAPTURING AN EMOTION ON FILM WAS IMPROVED, BECOM-ING MORE FIRM AND FLEXIBLE IN REGARDS TO THE NEW WORLD ORDER. WE MAY TAKE AS AN EXAMPLE THE STUDIO PORTRAITS OF JÚLIA MARGARET CAMERON’S, WHICH SHOW THE FEATURES OF A TIME WHEN WOMEN WERE MADONNAS AND MEN DETAINED THE INTELLECTUAL POWER; OR THE ACCURATE SHOOT OF MOMENTS BY CARTIER-BRESSON, PRESENTING THE MOST SPONTANEOUS SHOTS OF PHOTOGRAPHY, PUTTING ASIDE FAKE POSING WHEN SHAPING THE FACE OF HIS TIME; AND AUGUST SANDER, WHO WAS NOTORIOUS FOR NON-DISTINGUISHMENT AND JUDGING THE FACE OF HIS PEOPLE, AS DEMONSTRATED IN HIS PHOTOGRAPHY, REACHING OUR REALITY - WHERE DEFINITIONS OF FACE HAVE BEEN LONG GONE, AND WITH THAT LINE OF THOUGHT, ALMOST EVERYTHING CAN BE ESTABLISHED. FACES AND FEATURES, NO NEED FOR MORE WORDS TO DESCRIBE THE THEME OF THIS VOLUME, ALTHOUGH A LARGE AMOUNT OF PICTURES IS NECESSARY TO ILLUS-TRATE IT.
