URGENT REQUEST - Do you have pictures from Macaé?

We have an immediate request from a UK magazine.

Do you have any pictures of Macaé?

If you have any pictures in your archive that suit this brief - it would be great if you could email me with any pictures immediately - juliette@demotix.com

They are looking for pictures of the favelas and the people who live there, compared to the rich people living in the smart part of Macaé who have made money from the oil industry.

Favelas:
‘Nueva Holanda’ and ‘Nueva Esperanza’
But any favela will do.

Macaé town:
The rich oil workers enjoying their money.
