Begging for rain
The prolonged drought has exhausted the land, everything he planted is now turned to dust. Every day he looks up at the sky, as if he wanted to see beyond the clouds, begging for rain from a God who has ignored him

About Artist
João Coelho
Human condition has always fascinated me and its study has been a main driver in my work. More than an aesthetic purpose, I intend my photography to arouse feelings, emotions, and convey messages, by telling stories that depict suffering or joy, despair or mutual help, strength or disappointment, or simply resilience in the face of adversity and uncertainty about the future
