A new meaning for photography: Alexandre Sequeira at TEDxAmazonia

Alexandre Sequeira is a photographer, but he says he is much more interested in people than in photographs. The camera is only an instrument to get close to people. In one of his projects, he spent one year in an Amazon village working as a portraitist. Most of his subjects had never seen their photographic image before.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
