WHAT TO EXPECT?
A blend of photography workshop and walking tour.
With a local photographer, we will visit Luz Station and Liberdade Neighborhood, looking for beauty not only in the tourist places, but also in the routine of daily life.
There is one thing you need to know: Luz Station is one of our favorite places to photograph in São Paulo.
Trains, architecture, people, the morning light. The second busiest station in the city, it's a goldmine for capturing everyday life.
Liberdade Neighborhood, with its Suzuranto lighting (typical red poles), oriental cuisine, and costumes, gives us the opportunity to take unique photographs, especially on Saturdays and Sundays, when we have the traditional street market.
We also take a break to have a traditional brazilian coffee and snacks, and we take this opportunity to see some photos and get inspired.

• Street, Portrait and Architecture Photography
• How to work with natural light in different situations
• Creativity using the basic functions of our camera: Aperture, Iso and Exposure

Reviews
Robert Ito - Montreal, Canada
“A good photography tour isn't just about copying the guide's shots. It's about being creative, interpretive, and capturing unique impressions of a place. Victor is the perfect guide for this. He understands that photographers want more than just snapshots or selfies. They want images that tell a story and reflect their own perspective.
I wanted to capture everyday life in São Paulo, and Victor was the ideal guide. He knows the city inside and out and always keeps his clients safe. We started at Luz train station, a fascinating place to photograph both the architecture and the locals. Then, we explored the downtown area, capturing street activities and historic buildings. We even stumbled upon a small dance group practicing for an event.
Victor is a versatile photographer with an artistic eye. Just tell him your style and interests, and he'll guide you. I've been a photographer for over 40 years, and I highly recommend ASA 55”
