It was from Praia de Icaraí, about 11 kilometers from Morro do Corcovado (the mountain of Rio at the top of which the “Cristo Redentor” is located), that the photographer, who started in 2005 as a simple enthusiast, was able to take these pictures.
To achieve this result, Leonardo Sens used different applications to find the exact times and date when the moon and Christ the Redeemer would be perfectly aligned. Always at Itatiaiaour Brazilian colleagues, Leonardo Sens admits having bought a new lens to take “closer pictures of the moon and the sun”. An investment that has more than paid off since his photography has garnered more than 630,000 likes on Instagram.
