Editing With A View

Edgar Costa: I live in Vidigal, a favela in a hill just off Leblon beach in Rio. The view from my rooftop is breathtaking. I love to go up there and get inspired. When I get back from a shoot, and the day is almost over — which means the sun is not scorching hot — it’s great to get some editing done while enjoying that amazing view (and a cold beer).

My only problem is when I need to record voiceovers and my neighbours are playing loud music. But that’s Rio for you: nature and urban chaos, beauty and danger.
