Having traveled to a few cities in developing countries, I have encountered my fair share of "gypsies," and so I find the 'Gipsy Kings Ghettographik Portraits' portfolio rather powerful. Of course, you don't necessarily have to venture into a ghetto to encounter these unique individuals.
Photographed by Bruno Paixão and post-produced by Pedro Paixão, the 'Gipsy Kings Ghettographik Portraits' photo series lets us glimpse into the lives of gypsies. Fun, heart-breaking and everything in between, this is one amazing collection.
