This is the behind the scenes story about the shot “Brazilian Aquathlon” by Wagner Araujo (www.waguinhoa.com.br) that won the first prize at the 2013 National Geographic Travel Photo Contest:
I’m a professional photographer form Brazil and also editor of the main Triathlon website and online magazine in Brazil: www.mundotri.com.br I live at the airport. No, just kidding. When I’m not traveling, I live in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais in Brazil. A 2million people city and state capital, close to some historical places like Ouro Preto and Mariana. We also hold one of the main open nature museums in the World: Inhotim. As I said, I’m a triathlete/cyclist/runner (no, I’m not a swimmer, my swimming skills are poor!). I use to cover Triathlon race most of the time and also some great cycling races. I love traveling all around the world.
