Paulo Villa took his first picture at age nine with an Ansco box camera, a present from his Grandpa, and never stopped since. The passion of capturing light and shadow into images was then born, and the need to learn and experiment in this field has been his drive until today.
The desire of artistic expression and to capture the beauty of a moment, otherwise lost forever, is now as alive as it was many years ago, when the boy marvelled with the possibilities of that magic box.
Now, the digital era is providing the means to share his work with the world.
This is the work of a humble artist who never stopped to learn about the art of photography and has secretly dedicated his life to it.
