Rio - Brazil

2010-03-29T13:26:00.008+01:00

Last week we were in Brazil on a corporate shoot. The place was amazing and we got some wonderful images of the icons of Brazil. Unfortunatley the Christ of Redeemer was covered in scaffold and cloud, but it was still very impressive.The Meracana Stadium, among the wonders of Rio, Maracanã, largest stadium in the world, is one of the country’s major tourist and cultural patrimonies. In the land of soccer, where this sport is a religion, many consider it the Temple of the Gods. It was built in 1950 for the World Cup, and designed to hold 166,369 spectators. Currently, after reforms, it can hold up to 114,145.

We then did various other shots but on the Friday we did fly to Iguassu Falls which is trying to become one of the 7 Natural Wonders, and it is amazing, as you can see the Falls are very impressive.
