I love to dance, for me the dance floor has a therapeutic effect and I enjoy São Paulo’s underground electronic scene; I love cats because they are very affectionate and companion animals, in addition to being the most perfect beings I know. Eating is one of life’s greatest pleasures. I love oriental food, sweet and sour flavors and street food.

Recommended places:

Here are my favorite spots to shoot in the city of São Paulo:: 1- Ibirapuera Park: Scenic park with museums, a planetarium, auditoriums & recreation areas with bike paths & courts & Historic Japanese pavilion with a garden, carp pond & tea room, plus an art exhibition hall.
2- Batman’s Alley: Compact area of cobbled alleyways renowned for the colorful graffiti decorating its walls. 3- Paulista Avenue: It is known as the heart of São Paulo and along it are iconic buildings of the city and several cultural centers, in addition to the São Paulo Museum of Art (MASP), whose building is a unique project by modernist architect Lina Bo Bardi and the Paulista Sesc, a cultural center with a lending library & art exhibitions, plus a rooftop deck with city views. 4 – Aclimação Park: Expansive city park with a lake, plus numerous walking trails, a Japanese garden & a band shell. It is smaller in size than the ibirapuera, but it is just as beautiful and also has green landscapes contrasting with the city in the background. 5- Liberdade: A tall red torii arch marks the entrance to Liberdade, the city’s Japantown, where the streets are hung with lanterns. Dining options include sushi bars, ramen shops and stalls for yakisoba noodles, as well as Chinese and Korean eateries. Gift shops and supermarkets sell kimonos, cookware and imported Asian delicacies. There’s also the Oriental Garden & the Feira da Liberdade weekend street market that has accessories and handicrafts.
