Danilo Limaby Filipe Chagas 6 7 he excellent phrase “Art exists because life is not enough” is from the poet Ferreira Gullar. And Danilo Lima understood this when, in his years of medical training, he Tdecided on oncology and approached death. He saw the urgency to find himself in the things he liked and was interested in, without seeking outside approval. That was how the photograph returned to his life. With conservative parents, Danilo had photography as an escape. He stayed in the photography sections of bookstores, admiring the work of Herb Ritts, Bruce Weber, Mario Testino, Terry Richardson and David LaChapelle. At 17, he entered medical school and over- study distanced him from that universe that excited him. However, as soon as he graduated, he bought his first camera and started shooting. From colleagues to strangers on the street, he eagerly consumed photographs of male advertisements and on blogs, creating a personal archive. In 2013, he created an anonymous profile on Instagram to post the photos from this archive, but after a year and almost 10,000 followers censorship arrived and deleted the account. His gaze was refined and he walked on the street wondering how he would photograph the men. He tested his skills with an ex-boyfriend and decided to finally invest in a course and a professional camera. I can get an idea on the subway; I write on my phone, other times watching a movie...

Leonardo, Duda and João, 2019. 10 11 When he started to notice that people were Although photographers such as Rick Day, Paul Freeman and Janssem Cardoso, thrilled to see his photos, he decided to go back as well as Caetano Veloso, Madonna, Zé Celso, Foucault, Rita Von Hunty, to the internet. He first created a profile on Martha Medeiros, Greta Thunberg are part of Danilo’s diverse melting pot of Grindr where he would find volunteer models. People always say: “But this is just for sex, right? Does inspiration, his work is in direct contact with the Brazilian photographer Alair Then he created a new profile on Instagram, but a doctor like you have the courage to photograph Gomes (1921-1992, read the third edition). It is as if Alair’s voyeuristic gaze it was deleted again. In 2018, he came up with a naked man?” My answer is: “Do you want to give has finally achieved what the photographer has always tried to do: get really the idea of the​​ Clanndestinos project where he your opinion? Pay my bills. The more expensive, the close to the models. While Alair photographed in the distance with desires, faces the prejudice of his formal profession: more opinion you can give.” apprehensions and fears, Danilo seems to enter the intimacy of the models when he shows himself without defenses: Whenever I take a picture, I see a piece of me. My look is one of identity. Sequence: Renan, 2019. 12 13 He makes it clear that his creative process involves trust and empathy, since both the model and himself are people with vulnerabilities and experiences, and they can be on a bad day. Regardless of sexual orientation, the idea is to create a great relationship that confessions are made and the concept created originally ends up changing. The fact that the Arts in general exploit the female body to exhaustion while hiding male frontal nudity has always intrigued Danilo who has the man’s body as an object of admiration. These social taboos make it difficult for him to work, since some models do not accept full nudity. Usually I ask before if there are any restrictions. The main thing for me is not to attack the other. I shoot naturally, even if the model 14 15 is excited. For technical reasons, I prefer to photograph the relaxed cock because the erection requires urgent capture. So, I see all of this as a therapy process: one step at a time. Where I find masculinity, I’m interested. Previous page: Vinícius, 2019. Above: Daniel, 2019. Beside: Marcelo, 2018. 16 17 Rafael, 2019. Ítalo, 2018. Danilo maintains a persevering speech of continuing to face prejudices through his photography. He sees some evolution in the way male nudity has been perceived from the large number of projects on the topic that have emerged in recent years. So he intends to release a book of his project uncensored to continue showing the endless beauty of men, feminine or masculine. 8=D Danilo in action. 18 Previous page: Anonymous, 2019. 19 Below: Anonymous, 2019.

The same goes for a photograph, which comprises the image itself, the story behind Tthe photo and the interpretations of the viewer. Shafer’s creative process takes that into account, as he says: I love to rummage through people’s heads, and materialize in a picture a series of conversations that led to the creation of that image.
