Why choose personal brand photography in São Paulo?
A personal brand shoot in São Paulo is usually asked to look like the city the client works in: glass towers, concrete, a crossing full of people, a café counter. The trouble is that the most recognisable avenue in the city carries eight lanes of traffic on every weekday, and a portrait in the middle of Avenida Paulista is not possible on a Tuesday. One morning a week the avenue belongs to pedestrians, and the shoot is planned around it.
Worth knowing about São Paulo
Under the Ruas Abertas programme, Avenida Paulista is closed to cars on Sundays and holidays from 9:00 to 16:00, between Praça do Ciclista and Praça Oswaldo Cruz. A personal brand session booked at 9:00 on a Sunday gets the avenue before the fairs and street musicians fill it, which makes Sunday morning the one slot where the middle of Paulista can be the office background.

FAQ — Personal brand photography in São Paulo
What is the best day for a personal brand shoot on Avenida Paulista?
Sunday, from 9:00. Avenida Paulista in São Paulo is closed to cars on Sundays and holidays until 16:00, so a personal brand session can use the middle of the avenue, and the first hour is the quietest before the street fairs and crowds build up around MASP.
Can a personal brand session in São Paulo include an indoor location?
Yes. A personal brand session in São Paulo usually pairs the street with an interior the client already uses, such as an office, a studio or a café that has agreed to it. MASP publishes no rule for professional photography inside the museum, so interior portraits there are cleared with the museum first.
