In Edge of Humanity Magazine, photographer Juliette Coste presents Morros do Rio, a documentary photography project created in four Rio de Janeiro favelas in 2011. The series documents daily life with honesty and respect, focusing on residents rather than stereotypes of violence or poverty. Through portraits of men, women and children, Coste highlights their dignity, openness and humanity, emphasizing that the people living in these communities are Cariocas whose lives extend far beyond statistics and public perceptions.
