Rio de Janeiro is definitely a photogenic city (and with its own Lomo store to boot!), but often times, people limit themselves to staying around the beaches and tourist attractions while avoiding favelas entirely since they tend to get a bad rap in popular culture.

Well there are some landmarks, that are hard to discover, because, they are just there, very exposed not hidden at all. Take the Chinese wall, the pyramids of Egypt or Christ the Redeemer.

If you are the type of person who has a lot of things on his plate, there's always a way for you to indulge in some analogue photography every once in awhile. Whatever you may have lined up for the day, just make sure to have your film camera handy - and fully loaded, so you wouldn't miss out on any precious moments even if it's just from your local neighborhood.

I would never have thought that I will ever be in a Favela, not even imagined sleeping there. But the beautiful thing about life is, that things just happen. Even before I visited my friends Bru and Andi in Brazil they had chatted about a hostel in Rio de Janeiro, that is located on top of a Favela with a splendid view on the city and the sugarloaf.

Inspired the beautiful, internationally known song from Tom Jobim and Vinícius de Moraes. A hot spot for gorgeous Brazilian women, and an breathtaking ocean view. The perfect nest for the Brazilian Lomography embassy!

Before the eve of the carnival, everyone is focused on getting their Lomo On for the day of the party. The only problem though, which camera to use? All? Why, yes!

There are few places in the world, which I have visited because of one pictures I have seen of it. Such a place is the Real Gabinete Português de Leitura. A colonial library in the centre of Rio. A couple of years ago I was intrigued by a massive grand format picture from Andreas Gursky. He is one of the most famous photographers of our time, he surely is the most expensive one. His technique is to manipulate and enlarge pictures. His topic is the gathering of large groups and the enhancements of architectonic structures. He also chose the Gabinete as a sujet and that was, why I went there.

Between the cities of Rio de Janeiro and the sister city of Niteroi, there is a bridge. The view is really astonishing, mostly at morning and sunset, when is possible to see the bay glowing red, blue or green.

The Carnival is arriving…Welcome to Rio, la Cidade Maravilhosa, where seven millions of Cariocas live crowed with the best urban panorama of the world on the background, between the ocean and the rain forest. Cariocas pursue pleasure more than any people in the world. Joie de vivre , music, dance.

I believe that at least once in your life, you've heard that Brazil is the country of carnivals. And in that sense, Rio has to be its capital!

Urca is a super quiet yet nice place for hiking, climbing or just for a relaxing weekend. There are also some nice eateries that you can visit along the way. A sunny afternoon in this exciting neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro can also make for beautiful photos, just bring your lomo camera!

Just one ferry boat away from Rio, you will find a very inviting town called Niterói. Oddly enough, the symbol of this city is actually a UFO-shaped museum.
-
The beaches of Rio (Copacabana, Ipanema, Leblon, Barra) are famous for a reason! Fine white sand, cool water, and hot people!

One of the oldest neighborhoods that is full of incredible stories, since the Imperial time to today. São Cristóvão, in the city of Rio de Janeiro, was home to the Portuguese Royal Family when they arrived in Brasil.
