Paulo Shishido

Photographer living in Miami, FL

Paulo Shishido’s workspace

Paulo Shishido came to love photography in the first few months of my son’s birth. This led to the creation of 1005 Photography (pronounced Ten-Oh-Five) — named after his son's birthday of October 5th.

The main influences for his work come from his son, movies, and hip hop.

What is the most useful item in your workspace?

I would have to say is my 5DMIII and iPhone.

How do you spark creativity?

It can be a song, a particular movie scene or a lyric. I have been finding that after working out I tend to start editing.

What does your typical day look like?

I definitely need to brush my teeth first, no matter what. I have a 9-5 and work at a hospital as an admin; going on 19 years. After work, I pick up my son, bring him home, walk my dog, workout, make my son dinner, play basketball inside with for a bit, then take him back to his mom’s. I typically hit the streets to photograph every other weekend.
