The Brazilian photographer was drawn to the train passengers lost in their books on a soggy March evening

“São Paulo is a place that we love and hate,” says Simone Arruda of her Brazilian home city. “And anyone who knows it knows that when it rains, everything turns to chaos.”

Arruda took this shot at rush hour on a soggy March evening. She was heading home via Brás station, “a massive hub in a neighbourhood that is always extremely busy due to its intense commerce”, she says.
