Gypsies living on the border of our Civilization often attract artists to themselves. The number of books, films, paintings and other works about gypsies is enormous. So the Portuguese photographer Bruno Paixao has created a series of portraits of Roma from his hometown of Faro under the general name Gipsy Kings Ghettographik Portraits.
Gypsies live by their own law, which differs in many respects from the laws of Western Civilization. Therefore, their life, their way of life, their characters are very interesting to people.
That is why works of art that speak of this nomadic tribe are very popular. You can easily recall the vivid images of gypsies in literature, cinema, painting. And many modern photographers also create bright gypsy photographs.
These photographers include Portuguese Bruno Paixao. He created a series of photographic portraits of gypsies called Gipsy Kings Ghettographik Portraits.
They depict gypsies from his hometown of Faro. Small and large representatives of this nation captivate the audience with their clean, honest, slightly printed, but very sincere views.
Very touching and vivid photographs of very interesting people.
