PAOLO PATRUNO

I am a freelance documentary photographer and filmmaker. I traveled throughout Africa over the past ten years, documenting global topics, including health care, human rights, gender equality and women's empowerment, sustainable development. Since 2011 I’m working on a long term project called “BIRTH IS A DREAM” which aims to document and raise awareness about maternal health in Africa; the project has already been shot across Cameroon, DRC, Ethiopia, Malawi, Mozambique, Uganda and Zimbabwe, and from 2015 I’ve extended to the developed/industrialized countries.
I've produced documentary works for many Organizations:
AMREF CANADA; IDEAS - London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine; ISTITUTE OF TROPICAL MEDINE; MSF Médecins Sans Frontières; SAVE THE CHILDREN; SEVA CANADA SOCIETY CHARITY; SOLAR SISTER; UMCOR The United Methodist Committee on Relief; UMW United Methodist Women.
