39: Renato dPaula on Documenting Families, Births and His Own Life

This episode is an interview with Renato dPaula. Renato is a father and documentary photographer from São Paulo, Brazil. We begin our conversation talking about one of my favorite things: Renato's 365 Project. We talk about how there’s nothing like a difficult personal project to grow as a photographer. Renato tells us how he came to focus and documentary family photography, how he does it, what is his favorite part of the day with families. Renato does a lot of birth photography which I really love myself. I ask him how he got started in a genre done mostly by women. There’s so much I loved about talking with Renato. Enjoy!
