In 2011 I made a photographic essay made out of film photography visiting benzedeiros (healers) from the city where I was born in the countryside of São Paulo state, in Brazil. Rosa and Zé Leiteiro are well known in the region for having their special rituals to share healing forces with people that seek for them with different needs.
