Colorful 'bonecos gigantes' (Olinda dolls) at the Embassy of Pernambuco are iconic carnival figures—great for vibrant portrait-style shots, environmental portraits, and detail studies of costume and craftsmanship. Best visited during Carnaval for action and parades; off-season mornings offer uncrowded, posed opportunities. Golden hour (early morning or late afternoon) gives warm side light on textures; mid-day can wash colors but works for bold contrast. Site is street-front on R. do Bom Jesus;
