Who am I?

Working in the wedding industry since his 16 years old, Paulo started from the bottom and made his way up to owning his own Studio. Having the dream to chase photography on a more dynamic and expressive market, Paulo at his 20 years of age flew out of Brazil into Canada and later into the U.S. settling in New York City. Graduated at Universidade Anhembi Morumbi, Sao Paulo – Brazil in Digital Design with emphasis in Photography, as soon as he could he started offering his work to different studios in the tri-state area. At 21 ( a little over a few months in the U.S. ), he was in the Rainbow Room (one of the most refined venues in Manhattan) photographing an event for Gianni russo and his group.

Networking with the right people from there was a matter of right choices who brought Paulo to the success he always dreamed about in Brazil. Today he is one of the youngest photographers in NYC to reach a mid to high-end wedding clientele and have his work published in a few magazines all over the world, including ELLE Magazine in Switzerland, several publications about his success in magazines in Brazil and two more in the U.S.

Paulo have acquired much knowledge and techniques from all the great professionals he have been together, among then a director of photography, fashion photographers and great wedding photographers from all over the world. He also participated in several workshops and courses at the International Center of Photography.

A man of faith Paulo credits his fast raise to success to his hard work, client oriented ethics and most of all to God.

“Gods favor is always present in my life and for that I am grateful, for all the good things He brought along to lead me to my success.” – Paulo Basseto
