Silhouettes of São Paulo, Lisbon

During my stay in Lisbon in January 2025, I explored the vibrant neighborhood of São Paulo, a prime spot for silhouette photography. Its narrow streets, iconic yellow trams, and stunning views of the Tagus River create perfect backdrops.

 

Silhouette photography relies on strong contrast, with dark subjects against bright backgrounds like vivid sunsets or city lights. The low January sun casts dramatic shadows and warm light, allowing me to capture compelling shots. I often knelt to frame my subjects perfectly.

 

With these images, I moved beyond typical tourist postcards, capturing the unique essence of São Paulo and creating memories as distinctive as the place itself.
