Profile

BERNARDO REBELLO

was born in 1981, in Brasilia, political center of Brazil. His name was a tribute from his father to the Italian moviemaker, Bertolucci, which the film “1900” had inspired Mr Rebello during his years of college. As a kid he dreamed to play professional soccer and always looked at the pictures of the National Geographic magazine that his parents accumulated at their apartment.

As the time passed by he realized that his name had more meaning for him than he could have imagined. Movies became his passion and photography his main interesting. He started during his family trips and did his first course in the United States in a B&W course he took at the Evansville High School, WI, where he graduated in 1999.

Back to Brazil he began his studies to become a journalist. During this period he worked with movie producers, communication agencies and with photographers as their assistant. Publicity, nature landscape and photojournalism where the main activities of those professionals. It was during his years of college that he made his first professional photojournalism coverage. It was in the World Social Forum in Porto Alegre.

The studies of international relations became part of his objectives as well as traveling. He has been to more than 20 countries. He did special works of photography in the Camino de Santiago, where he did the French trail of 849 km, the Inca Trail to Macchu Picchu and the World Cup of Germany.

As far as his studies of International Relations, he speaks four languages and is preparing himself to the diplomatic career. He is a journalist with experience with politics coverages and has been working for respectable and relevant organizations of Brazil, such as Caixa Economica, Sebrae and Iltaú. He also published pictures in important media corporations of Brazil.

Once, a friend who aslo is a poet, truthfully enhanced him:

Sometimes everything is needed, except the permanence. It is necessary to turn your back to the beginning of the rise. It is necessary the vacuum, the echo of the march. Because the weight that is carried with those who go is, as well, leaved with those that stay: the reticence. And then this weight of insistence dissipates itself, cause nothing that is permanent remains. The farewell undoes the dream that love weaves, despite the dream. And if such words already pluck the mourning, I assure you: what it is to come was never so much. The eagerness never was as such. Never the voice of daring had such strength: let there the risk stanch the monotony. Let there be irresponsible the rush to go. Let there be peace on the journey, that the return there to erupt, smiling triggered. And if you go, do not hesitate: bring back love.
