Zal Riani calls himself a shadow hunter. The Brazilian photographer lives in Rio de Janeiro, and likes to take a walk along Ipanema beach to relax after work.

He says: “I love the light at the end of day, and the shadows that appear when the sun is leaving. Whenever I go out to take photos in the late afternoon it’s because I’m looking for the longest shadows I can find.”
