This conversation highlights Gustavo's journey and philosophy in photography, as well as the broader challenges and joys of the craft. We engaged in a multifaceted conversation exploring personal experiences, professional trajectories, and shared artistic philosophies. Gustavo reflected on his transition from journalism to photography,  enriched by a course with Carlos Moreo. We examine how his Brazilian heritage shapes his photographic sensibilities, particularly his affinity for vibrant colors and light, and discussed his evolution toward a minimalist approach, prioritizing simplicity, spontaneity, and emotional resonance over layered narratives. Living in cities like São Paulo and Brasília has shaped his perspective, presenting challenges in capturing the essence of urban life and encouraging him to innovate within familiar settings. His book Liquid Cities—inspired by Zygmunt Bauman's "liquid modernity" and curated by Josely Nakagawa—exemplifies his dedication to exploring themes of change and adaptability through photography.   Gustavo Domestica course  Gustavo Website and Instagram  Follow host Tim Bingham  Instagram Talking Frames Podcast Instagram        Song: Drip Music by: CreatorMix.com
