On a technical level, Mario Tama's eye for lighting and composition never ceases to amaze me, but in this image from the increasingly militarized Rocinha favela, we see his talent for truly impactful visual storytelling. Here we see the reality of Rio beyond the fanfare of the Olympic Games and the glitz of Carnivale - a depiction of daily life that deserves the same kind of attention those larger events get. In capturing this heartbreaking and beautiful image, Tama isn't reducing that reality to a pretty picture, he's asking us to look closer. | September 25, 2017 |📷: mario_tama selected by kgreyscale | NY Picture Desk | #EditorsChoice __ Getty Images picture desk editors have a nearly immediate front row look at events unfolding throughout the world, with the images captured often reaching them in a matter of seconds. #EditorsChoice
