Eurivaldo Bezerra founded the EB STUDIO BRASIL as the first photography studio that advocates through photography, using books and expositions to achieve its goals. EB STUDIO BRASIL has created the RIT Program: Reveal the problem, Inspire society, and Transform our reality into something better.

There are more than 2 million people over 60 years old living in Rio de Janeiro, with that number projected to rise to 60 million in all of Brazil over the next 30 years. Most of them go to shelters and asylums, abandoned by their families, by society, and by the authorities.

Part of the Digna Idade book in progress, this photo was taken in a public shelter. EB STUDIO BRASIL will be publishing a book, promoting exhibitions and debates to discuss the best alternatives to change this situation.
