Simone Lial e Ponto Sem Nó



I wanted to post some photos of late. I've been getting tons of requests by my friends for photos and I've been doing my best to oblige as time is running short. I have a couple more shoots to do this week of some lovely people. This photo session of the group Simone Lial & Ponto Sem Nó was done in a vintage furniture store in the historic downtown district. The building is beautifully restored. Check out the website for Mercado Moderno and see more photos of their furniture and interior.



Simone Lial has gotten quite a bit of press in the last few years as one of the best female singers in the revival of the historic Lapa district. She has an amazing voice and great stage presence. But she's not new to the scene as she's been at it for over a decade with various groups.



I've been having fun just doing photography for the sake of photography. One of these photos will hopefully be getting published in a piece about the group. For the photo geeks: this shoot was done with only a Nikon D70s and a cheap 19-35mm lens, and a not-so-cheap 50mm f1.4 lens! Natural lighting with post-processing done in Adobe Lightroom.
