Paul has been photographing
since high school. Putting aside his love for creative
arts he spent the first 15 years of his working life in the hospitality
industry. His background helped him develop great customer service skills along
with many other business skills. Paul photographs seniors, families, children
and weddings. His special talent however, lies in the heart of the portrait
artist himself, connecting with his subjects and helping
them to feel at ease while being photographed.
