Gustavo Minas

  Gustavo Minas , the Brazilian-born photographer based in Brasília and São Paulo, crafts visual essays in color that feel like living paintings—full of reflections, architectural geometry, people in motion, and sharp contrasts.

Gear Journey: From Fuji X100 to X‑Pro3 Fujifilm X100 (2014–2016) Minas discovered Fujifilm in 2014 when his DSLR broke.

But what's most remarkable is not just what he captures — it’s how he captures it: with minimalist tools and a deep reliance on instinct, patience, and awareness. Philosophy First: Why Less Is More Pau Buscató believes in reducing distractions and allowing vision to take the lead. He emphasizes that street photography is not about chasing gear, trends, or presets—it’s about being fully present , visually alert , and open to the surprises of everyday life. “I try to go out every day to shoot. I want to keep my eye trained and sharp. Most of the time I come back with n...
