Why choose drone photo & video in São Paulo?
Every Sunday from 9:00 to 16:00 the city closes Avenida Paulista to cars, and the most photographed avenue in São Paulo becomes a walkable set for a few hours. That is what decides how a session is planned here: the photographer you work with lives in São Paulo and works across São Paulo all year, so they are not seeing the place for the first time alongside you. That prior knowledge is the difference between a session that keeps to its schedule and one spent looking for a frame.
The hour matters more than the location. For Parque Ibirapuera, the window to aim for is weekday mornings, before the running groups and school visits. The session runs 60 min and is built around that window rather than around your diary — it is the one variable that genuinely changes the photographs, and it costs nothing.
What does the session in São Paulo look like?
The typical session runs 60 min across two locations: we start at Parque Ibirapuera and move on to Avenida Paulista and the MASP open span. Two locations rather than one give you two distinct backdrops, and the move between them produces the frames made in motion — frequently the truest of the set.

FAQ — Drone photo & video in São Paulo
Drone photo & video in São Paulo: what time should we book?
For a session at Parque Ibirapuera in São Paulo, aim for weekday mornings, before the running groups and school visits. At a busy location, two hours either way changes what can be framed at all.
Do we need a permit to photograph in São Paulo?
At some São Paulo locations, yes: Museu de Arte de São Paulo (MASP) (Museum ticket booked online, free on Tuesdays and on Fridays from 18:00; the museum does not publish a rule for professional photography inside, so ask MASP before planning interior portraits); Beco do Batman (Public alley with free access; residents live along it, so sessions keep doorways and garages clear). The photographer tells you at booking which authorization applies and what it costs, not on the day.
What happens if the weather turns in São Paulo?
If lightning, a severe-weather alert from the Defesa Civil, or a closed site or beach makes the planned São Paulo location unusable, the session moves to a new date at no charge. Overcast skies and light rain are working conditions, and often good ones.
When do we get the photos from São Paulo?
A session in São Paulo is delivered within 7 days, in a private online gallery: 25 edited photos + a 1-minute edited film, downloadable at full resolution from any country.
