Hailing from Portugal, Renato is a Berlin based photographer with a passion for documentary photography.
Since an early age he showed passion for art and all things creative, using the art of drawing as his “vehicle” of expression. Transporting his surroundings onto a piece of paper was the strongest tool to get him to the point where he is now.
