Gabriel Rocha (a.k.a. BRIEL)'s photostream

I'm a 18-year old man from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I speak Portuguese, English and German.

I write graffiti since 2006, and nowadays it probably is my biggest hobby. At the beggining I just used to tag, make stencils and try some throw-ups. Now I'm trying some murals and photorealistic graffiti...

And I've recently found out that I love photography too.
What I admire about photographers is their capacity of taking an amazing picture of places and things that ordinary people wouldn't notice, just how beautiful it can be. Their capacity of looking for the best angle, the best light and the best moment...

Now, another useful information! ;D

My dreams: In the future I want to work with graphic design and try to use my artistic gifts such as graffiti writing and photography, as a benefit, an additional thing to be a succesful, satisfied and happy person.
I also want to be able to afford my travels around the world, there are a lot of countries that I want to visit, like Cuba, Russia, Finland, Sweden, Palau, New Zealand and a lot more...
