WHAT TO EXPECT?
A blend of photography workshop and walking tour.
We are going to explore the coolest places in downtown area with a local photographer, looking for beauty not only in the tourist places, but also in the routine of daily life.
As we say, São Paulo’s city has its own life. Many things might come up as we walk, and we don’t want to worry about time, we’ll be focused on taking good photos and exploring different topics related to photography, that can vary according to people's level of experience, such as: how to adjust your camera on the street, how to get closer to people in a respectful manner, playing with natural lights and compositions.
We start at a Café with a traditional brazilian coffee and snacks, and we take this opportunity to see some photos and get inspired. After, we are going to walk around the city center, where the most important buildings are, like: Teatro Municipal, Edifício Copan, among many others.

Reviews
Kyle Kearns - Philadelphia, USA
“One of my favorite parts about my time with Victor (there are many) is that he's a photographer first. When I arrived at our meeting point he was already crouching on the street, looking for the best angle for his own photos – he's not some uninterested chaperone just taking you to the most obvious sights. His own passion for photography means he knows where to look for natural, beautifully composed shots as the light falls across the city, and he has patience for when you need to wait for the right moment to appear. In addition to his photo experience, he's an incredibly kind and open person, and immediately put me at ease. It felt like he was an old friend I was catching up with after a few years. His knowledge about São Paulo really added some new meaning and insight to the photos we were taking, and I saw so many unique angles I would have missed on my own. If you're a photographer spending even a single day in Sao Paulo, I can't think of a more valuable use of your time than to spend it with Victor. 10/10 experience”
