The people portrayed are equipped with a humanity that approaches the reader. This is well summarized in the phrase attributed to Millôr Fernandes and that gives title to the book and the exhibition. In addition to showing a face of the personalities, the work also invites us to enter in their intimacies, exploring little-known aspects of respondents.

The work brings together the classic delicacy of black and white portraits, signed eight photographers. "It's a genre that seems simple, but that just has the challenge of capturing the essence, the true picture of the person. The result is very rich ", says the photographer Alexandre Mazzo.
