National team players have private photographers at the World Cup The Brazilian team is surrounded by cameras at a World Cup. Nowadays, many of them are at the service of players. The photographer aims and shoots. Capture, in one click, the customer’s head, gaze and, most importantly, the heart. Enchanted by the beautiful images produced, some national team players hired private photographers, who are paid to take records on and off the field. "I'm working with Matheus Cunha, Rayan, Ederson, from Atalanta, and Lucas Paquetá. A posed photo, in profile, photo with the ball, photo in the review, photos of them entering the field. And the rest is really spontaneity", says photographer Léo Sguaçabia. 📱Bookmark g1 on Google and follow the main news of the day Every step, every pass, every kick, every movement is watched. But no one complains about privacy there. With luck, nothing escapes the photographer's watchful eye. "It's about portraying the guy in a way that makes him look good in the photo. The movement of the shot, the pass. This, we achieve, over time, getting to know the athlete, watching him play, photographing him. This kind of creates an intimacy to be able to portray the guys in the best possible way", says photographer Ricardo Nogueira.

They become fleeting records on social media, but they can also be lasting memories. "I think it's very important, from now on, to be able to show my children, the younger ones, everything that happened with photos, with videos, with memories. I think that, when I was little and that age, there wasn't this thing about photos. There were more stories told by parents, grandparents, uncles", says Bruno Guimarães, midfielder for the Seleção. The poses change. The angles, the expressions. But there is the same photo that everyone is chasing in this World Cup. “The Brazilian team lifting the cup. I came for that”, says Léo Sguaçabia.
