Guilherme Botelho was born in São Paulo and spent his childhood between Colombia, Costa Rica, and the United States. His childhood memories, a period in which he lived between the different realities of USA and Latin America, sparked his curiosity about individuals and their presence, irrespective of geographic location, social situation, or environment. He studied photography in the United States under Tereza Diehl (a photographer and visual artist) and then in Barcelona at the Institute of Photographic Studies of Catalonia. After his studies, he decided to continue photographing as a personal pursuit  which he often presents as self-published books. He is currently working on two projects simultaneously:

 

• Exaltación a fragmentos precarios, a study on the prioritization of technologies, the of time, and the loss of human contact; a project on photographic and urban impressionism, in contrast to 19th-century impressionism in painting, which captured perceptions of climate and the passage of time in nature. Here, the impressions movement and escape demonstrate how, in the 21st century, speed and the general rush in big cities reinforce their inhuman and impenetrable.

 

• So depois do carnaval, a visual portrait of Brazil that showcases the natural state everyday reality through the identity of the author's photographs.
