ABOUT Paula
When I left Brazil for London in 2015, I was still working as a freelance PhD anthropologist researcher for Brazilian and North-American Universities, NGOs and charities.
Even though I enjoyed very much the relative freedom of working remotely - after all, it allowed me to move to London and fall in love with the city -, something was missing. I've always been drawn to the creative field where I worked since my Uni days in multiple projects lead by friends. I always wanted to communicate through images as opposed to words, where my academic field was restricted to.
I decided I wouldn't postpone my dream to work in a creative job any longer. To train as a photographer, I experimented with different areas of photography - interiors, products, families, children - but portrait and documentary photography were always where I wanted to be as they allow me to bring a visual dimension to the social-inspired questions I've been interested in since the start of my career as a social anthropologist.
I currently live in London with my husband and two cats where I 'grow' gardens, knits and portraits.
