ABOUT PAOLO

I was about 7 years old when I picked up my first point-and-shoot camera.  In Manila, where I grew up, every weekend involved a party: a huge extended family and many friends-who-were-considered-family, gathered around amazing food.  I loved those parties.  I loved the people in those parties.  I ran around trying to capture them doing whatever I thought was interesting – candid, funny moments, and definitely lots of laughs.

Little did I know that after moving to New York a few years later, and taking several photography classes in middle school, high school, and college, my very raw and innocent inclination toward photography evolved into a passion.  I’m passionate, not just about capturing moments beautifully, but about capturing someone’s already-beautiful moments. And all because I found, I love people.

There are many things about our world to love and enjoy. 

 Like most of you, I enjoy creation: the mountains, beaches, cities, animals, art, technology, soccer.  But my purpose, my reason, my meaning, my mission is people.
