Photographer's Profile

Daniel Taveira

Mexico

Daniel Taveira was born in Tocantinopolis, Tocantins, Brazil. In 2010, after putting aside his Masters Degree in Finances from Fundação Getúlio Vargas, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Taveira moved to Mexico. In Mexico, he met renowned photographer Nadine Markova and became her disciple. Studying under Markova, Taveira began to pursue the "decisive instant," which meant his lenses would capture the uniqueness of everyday moments through light, colors, forms, expressions and predominantly emotions. He has a talent for highlighting the mood of his subject, whether it may be a living soul or an inanimate object. His love for balance and geometry are serenely evident in each piece as a calling card for Taveira’s calculating approach to personal expression. Taveira's portraits are lavish depictions of humanity's diversity, his photographs are pristine in technique, abundant, full of colors and movements.
