The contemporary são-luisense photograph

Abstract

Maranhão photography, specifically São-Luísense, has been manifested in diverse productions originating from different stylistic aspects and purposes. It is observed that the photographic production carried out in São Luís follows the continuous flow of growth in general level, due to the ease of access, cost reduction and sharing of the digital era. To give a brief overview of local production, it is necessary to observe the events, prizes, independent productions of the photographers and relate them to the exhibition platforms used by the authors. With that, it aims to point out ways to establish an independent photographic production from the recent productions exhibited in unofficial spaces, without institutional ties.
