Women Photograph
Belo Horizonte, MG, Brasil
Ana Caroline de Lima is a Brazilian photographer,National Geographic Explorer, journalist and postgraduate in anthropology whose work is focused on the humans relationship with their environment and how one complements the other. She believes that photography and journalism are about people and for people and her role as a storyteller is being a conduit to share experiences and opinions of those who shared moments of their lives with her.
Much of her work so far has been done in South America, especially in the Andes and the Amazon, documenting several indigenous communities such as Yawalapiti, Xavante and Rikbaktsa.
Her work has been awarded both nationally and internationally and has been exhibited in more than 20 countries, in places such as Museo di Roma in Trastevere, Oxo Tower and Palacio de Maldonado.
In 2021 de Lima became a National Geographic Explorer and will document the cultural symbiosis of traditional peoples from the Brazilian Cerrado with their environment - the second largest biome of South America. The project will also be an opportunity to research the story of her ancestry, as her mother's side of the family also comes from Cerrado's traditional communities.
de Lima is a XXXIII Eddie Adams Workshop and 73 Missouri Photo Workshop alumna and a member of Diversify Photo, Authority Collective, Women Photograph and Everyday Projects. Amongst her main clients as an anthropologist and photographer are the UNDP, Amazon Conservation, ActionAid and Care International.
Currently working across the state of Minas Gerais, she is also HEFAT trained for exteme environments and it's available for assignments.

Xavante
Ana Caroline De Lima
Women, men, children: demonstrations of power and resistance are constantly present amidst Xavante's life.
As Brazil’s confirmed overall death toll from Covid-19 passes 68,000, the virus is spreading through the country’s indigenous communities, killing chiefs, elders and traditional healers.
In Xavante's culture, everything is shared, from houses to everyday chores. This was one of the reasons that lead a Xavante's child to be the first official case of death amongst indigenous peoples from Mato Grosso state, in May. A strong community culture added to the lack of public health access puts the Xavante's power into threat due to the Coronavirus. But they keep fighting.

" - Do you want to take a picture of Maria? She is very beautiful!" ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Sure, bring her here! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
Minutes later, Painkré brings Maria, a little doll whose body is painted with Kayapó motifs, just like her. The drawings were made to 'train' indigenous to paint other people's faces.
- "She looks just like me, doesn't she? She doesn't have 'hairs above the eyes'!" - asks Painkré, showing me the blue-eyed, white doll who, just like her, doesn't have eyebrows.

Can you spot the acai berries picker in this photo? What about the next one?
Acai is a "superfruit" native to the Amazon claimed to have many health benefits.
Picking it is not easy. People have to climb the palms- that can be higher than 25 meters - using their feet to pick up steam and harvest the heavy cluster with a knife that may be carried in their mouth. Sometimes pickers can be surprised by snakes that like to stay on the palm trees.
Juan spends most of the day on top of açai trees, at Santa Rosa del Abuná in Bolivian Amazon. The region is one of the most significant protected areas that Bolivia has created in the past decade, on April 2017.
