Who hears the Rio Thiago Barros talk about photography is surprised with so much experience and knowledge. The young photographer who is with the show metropolises - Paris exposed in Brasilia, started shooting too early. At 12 years of age, was part of the Fluminense Society of Photography. Curiosity and the need to save costs led him to meet one of his passions: the laboratory. The 16 years of experience as a laboratory technician at the hands of Thiago brought works of renowned Brazilian photographers, as Evandro Teixeira, Rogério Reis and Walter Carvalho. Currently, the work of photographer Thiago Barros overlapped the laboratory technician. Awarded in France in 2005, Silva continues the Metropolis project in Brasilia, where he was recently, when he visited and taught a workshop in Space Photography f/508.
