1 Lighthouse, 365 Clicks

1 Lighthouse, 365 Clicks is an original photo series by Brazilian photographer Tunisio Alves Filho. Tunisio photographed the Barra Lighthouse, beleived to be the oldest lighthouse built in the America´s, over the course of one year. Even though his subject never changed, Alves Filho managed to capture the landmark in numerous different ways and make each picture beautiful in its own right. He shot from different angles and at different times of the day varying composition and style. The result is a breathtaking collection of photos.
