“#Hellomynameis Anthony Cardoso (@anthonyckn). I am 16 years old and have always loved nature and discovering the outdoors. I was born in Cambuí, Brazil, but have lived in Monte Verde, a small Brazilian mountain town, since I was very little. I started getting into photography when I got a tablet from my parents at the age of 12 and began capturing all the natural beauty around me. When I saw my photographs, I felt motivated to continue, and then discovered I really liked taking pictures. I eventually traded my tablet for a smartphone, which I now carry around with me wherever I go. I think that since I grew up outdoors, I have a special passion for nature and animals. Being exposed to this scenery on a daily basis inspires me more and more. I think anything that I feel or catches my attention deserves to be captured — and should also be shared. The future is still uncertain, but I am a dreamer. One day, maybe I’d like to become a professional photographer. But whatever happens in my career, I know I will never stop taking pictures. I am captivated by photography and would never be able to stop.” Photo by @anthonyckn
