Eduardo Pedro Interview
Each month, we ask a photographer to picture a Corneliani Travel Jacket - the iconic overshirt- on someone, somewhere in the world. These shots were taken in São Paulo, Brazil by Eduardo Pedro – a photographer from a small coastal town called Cruz. He grew up surrounded by nature, which shapes the poetic eye he uses in his work. His fascination with analogue photography means he usually shoots on film, bringing a nostalgic, timeless quality to his fashion photographs – like these shots of the Corneliani Travel Jacket.
Where did you take these pictures?
Eduardo Pedro: «The photos were taken at a street market in São Paulo, Brazil».
Who’s wearing the Travel shirt-jacket?
Eduardo Pedro: «The jacket is worn by my friend, and model, Alejandro Costa».
What was the mood you were trying to convey?
Eduardo Pedro: «I wanted to portray Brazil in a distinctive and less obvious way, going beyond the exuberant landscapes everyone already knows. My aim was to reveal our reality in a raw and authentic light, celebrating the richness of our food, the value of our craftsmanship and the strength of the work that sustains our daily lives. Street markets are an essential part of Brazilian life – vibrant gatherings of colours, aromas and voices – unfolding every day across all regions of the country. They’re brimming with life and stories – and that’s what I sought to capture in these images».
What do you like about the location?
Eduardo Pedro: «The intensity of its colours and the constant movement. There’s an electric energy in the air – the coming and going of people, the swift gestures of the vendors, the shine of fresh produce and the contrast of the market stalls. It’s a setting that pulses with life, never static, and this vitality is what makes every moment unique and photogenic».
What do you like about travelling?
Eduardo Pedro: «Meeting people and experiencing different cultures – living each moment as if I were a local. More than tourism itself, what truly interests me is immersing myself in a place as if I had been born there. That kind of experience is so much richer».
What are the key things you always pack?
Eduardo Pedro: «Obviously, my cameras – not just one, because I love shooting with analogue cameras, too. My headphones are essential, as well as a good book. Since I’m passionate about fashion, another equally important thing for me is dressing well and appropriately for the place I’m travelling to. I think about colours, texture and fabrics that will give me both comfort and style at the same time».
What’s the one piece of advice you’d give to fellow travellers?
Eduardo Pedro: «Plan the trip well before leaving, as it helps you feel more at ease. It’s important to learn a bit about the place you’re going to – the people, the language, the culture. But at the same time, it’s essential not to stick 100 per cent to the itinerary, because sometimes spontaneous moments can arise and make the experience even more fun and unique».
Do you have a packing tip?
Eduardo Pedro: «I like to take only the essentials, avoiding overpacking, especially because I enjoy bringing back a little something with me – besides the memories – that will always remind me of that place».
Hand luggage or check-in?
Eduardo Pedro: «It depends on how long I’ll be staying, but preferably I travel with just hand luggage as it makes the trip easier and more flexible».
How did the Corneliani jacket fare?
Eduardo Pedro: «The jacket was exceptional and perfectly suited to our climate. The colour and fabric of the piece I received are exquisite, and styling it was effortless since it pairs well with everything and fits perfectly».
