Wonderful day trip in Sao Paulo
”I had a wonderful full-day walkabout street photography tour with Victor. He was really friendly and shared many good tips with me. He also ensured the day was smooth and arranged airport pickups for me as this was a long layover in Sao Paulo. Worth the premium price for the tour, will recommend to others!”

A great photo tour of Sampa!
”I got the occasion for a photo tour in São Paulo and it was just great! My guide Victor was so nice and helpful to make that tour a highlight of my brazilian holidays.
Perfect organisation, variety of locations and good tips on how to use all opportunities on the way.
It gave me the occasion to do some street photography witch is not my usual domain, but I really enjoyed it.
Thanks again for that very good moment!”

The Best Way to Spend Your Time in SP
”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”

¡Gran recorrido de fotografía callejera!

“Recientemente, tuve la oportunidad de embarcarme en mi primer tour de fotografía callejera con Víctor, un fotógrafo apasionado por su arte, quien posee un conocimiento profundo del centro de la ciudad y una notable conexión con los habitantes del área. Gracias a la experticia de Víctor, pude dominar los principios fundamentales de la fotografía en modo manual. La experiencia de recorrer el corazón de Sao Paulo durante esa mañana resultó ser excepcionalmente enriquecedora; experimentamos con la luz, los reflejos, los matices y las diversas capas de la vida urbana, todo en la búsqueda de capturar momentos únicos. Víctor demostró ser un guía extraordinariamente atento, brindándome valiosos consejos para seguir perfeccionando mi técnica fotográfica. Recomiendo mucho la experiencia de explorar con Víctor, ya sea individualmente o en grupo. Es una oportunidad que, sin duda, no querrás perderte. ¡No dejes pasar la oportunidad de aprender con él!”

“Our tour with Victor was fantastic. We got to see so many different sights that we never would have seen on our own. Victor’s photography knowledge and his overall knowledge of São Paulo is very impressive. If you plan to spend any time in São Paulo, book a tour with ASA 55.”

A fun way to explore São Paulo

“I was on a business trip to Brazil, and had a weekend in São Paulo. I've visited before, but only had a few hours for sightseeing. I wanted a photo tour to explore the city on a slightly deeper level than most guided tours. I contacted Victor, and we arranged a tour. I gave him the option to open it up to other people, and at the very last moment, three others joined us.
Victor is fluent in English, and knows the city very well. I mentioned to him that I wanted to visit Beco do Batman ("Batman's Alley"), and he included it in the tour. Like most large cities, São Paulo can be dangerous in places. I felt very safe the entire time.”

Amazing Photoshoot Experience

“My husband and I made a quick trip to São Paulo and we were so happy we got the chance to meet Victor to take us on a 2 Hour Photoshoot. He was very personable and friendly, yet equally a professional. The tour he gave us was engaging and the photos turned out great! We’re so happy we did it!”

Getting to know Brazil from a photographer’s perspective: an enlightening experience

“Exploring a new place with photographers is my favorite kind of tourism. Joining the Paraíba Expedition with ASA 55 was an enlightening experience. I truly immersed myself in the region's culture and natural beauty at a contemplative pace. I bonded with the group and caught a glimpse of other photographers' creative visions.
Whether you're a photographer or not, this experience is worth every penny. The sightseeing is amazing, the food is soulful, and the people organizing the expeditions are awesome.”

Excellent CustomTours for Photographers

“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.”

Excellent CustomTours for Photographers

“I booked the Photo Tour and I enjoyed it that much, that I booked it a second time.
The first time, we had a rainy day and I was speechless about the creativity and joy you can have in a “grey rainy” city ! Combined with Victor’s knowledge about the town, his passion for photography and his empathie it was a great, enjoyable, interesting and instructive morning. I got a lot of inspiration for rainy subjects, reflections and styles, that I cannot wait for more rainy days from now :)
The second time was a sunny, slighted clouded day. As Victor knew, I was joining a second time- we got more into details at the train station and for the historical town he has chosen different streets, bridges, historical informations and lookouts. On my second tour I was joined by my partner, who was as satisfied as I was.
I highly recommend the tour, as it is done with passion and heart. It gives you a great opportunity to combine sight seeing and photography.”
