The City Of Samba

I've seen a million tilt shift projects since this blog started, but I never get tired of them. The concept of seeing reality turned into a miniature playset thanks to the power of a lens never fails to capture my attention. Two photographers, Keith Loutit and Jarbas Agnelli set out to capture the annual festival of Carnaval in Rio, which typically takes place 46 days before Easter. The duo did a great job establishing the setting with some absolutely incredible shots overlooking the city and all the events leading up to the festival. The payoff is an awesome glimpse into an explosively colorful, synchronized celebration that puts Burning Man to shame in some regards.
