About Sarali

Sarali, a self-taught photographer, discovered her passion for photography and gradually immersed herself in the art, eventually producing images that vividly express her unique perspective and emotions as both a photographer and an artist. This passion was ignited in her homeland of Brazil during her time as a contributor for "Revista Raça Brasil," a significant Brazilian magazine dedicated to Afro-descendant communities. It was within the pages of this magazine that Sarali uncovered the power of storytelling, recognizing its potential to provoke change through imagery. Her encounters with inspiring stories of resilience and triumph marked a turning point, solidifying her decision to dive headfirst into the world of photography.

Originally from Brazil and now a resident of the Netherlands, Sarali undertakes projects of national and international relevance. With a portfolio of publications in various magazines and successful exhibitions, she has refined her skills in portrait photography and editorial projects.

Her journey has been one of exploration, embracing a variety of styles that have collectively contributed to her versatile and eclectic approach to photography. This distinctive style allows her to capture a wide range of emotions and visual narratives.
