Bikinis From Brazil & Capoeira?!!!
Here's the concept, find a good locale, scenic beach or suitable place for Capoeira and showing off some Brazilian fashions. Chrys Rocha of Bikinis-From-Brazil asked me to shoot a calendar a few years back, highlighting her fashions on some beautiful models on the coast. Some of the photos from that shoot appear below. Recently, the Brazilian Consulate and many others put on Brazil On the Beach in Hollywood. There was an amazing Capoeira demonstration. Photos from that appear below as well. Now imagine, both sets of images intermingled with a great backdrop like Hillsboro Light, the courts at Lauderdale Beach or ???. Capoeira with fashions around the roda, then modeling, samba whatever moves the folks and back again. Great way to show off Brazilian culture, style and passion and for me to capture some more intriguing images!

In fact I understand weaving deception into the moves may be even more valued than offensive prowess. http://www.fksa.org/albums/album402/Para.jpg We hit a number of locales along the coast, including this parasailing boat. Chrys is being flown up, see her? http://www.fksa.org/albums/album402/10_IMG_9583.jpg There goes a skilled lady capoeirista now. Launching a standing forward flip, over soft concrete pavers? Amazing athletes! http://www.fksa.org/albums/album402/7_IMG_0353.jpg These are the courts on Ft. Lauderdale Beach that might serve http://www.fksa.org/albums/album402/16_IMG_9348.jpg http://www.fksa.org/albums/album402/4_IMG_8540.jpg What is it they said about Tiger Woods? Oh yeah, nice form! http://www.fksa.org/albums/album402/17_IMG_9401.jpg These folks can move http://www.fksa.org/albums/album402/Two.jpg ... and so can these, each compelling in their own right http://www.fksa.org/albums/album402/15_IMG_9561.jpg This fellow looked fairly young but he could deliver explosive moves seemingly effortlessly http://www.fksa.org/albums/album402/s_car.jpg The latest in kite-mobiles but only on 6 m days http://www.fksa.org/albums/album402/11_IMG_9608.jpg Just floating around. This guy threw taxing move after move as did so many others as well. http://www.fksa.org/albums/album402/6_IMG_8710.jpg The ladies model my lightwind board, ok so it will plane one of them in 6 kts.? http://www.fksa.org/albums/album402/12_IMG_9648.jpg This Mestre would explode off his feet and then back from his hands repeatedly http://www.fksa.org/albums/album402/5_IMG_9665.jpg Winds up, lets go kiting! http://www.fksa.org/albums/album402/14_IMG_9480.jpg Rolling by Aú into the roda ... so, what do you think? Could be an incredible event. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...gendasroda.jpg From: Wikipedia More about Capoeira at: http://fksa.org/showthread.php?t=2289 ... and on the great fashions from Chrys and Bikinis-From-Brazil at: http://web.archive.org/web/201102011...rom-brazil.com http://www.bikinis-from-brazil.com/e...-PRESSmall.jpg . |

Just added this clip as much for background as anything else as you look through the still photos. Capoeira in motion looks quite a bit different than when seen through still photos alone though. |
A look at a post from back in the day, looking good!
