Paul has been a professional photographer as long as his son has been alive... It feels surreal to say that (his son is 16 now). It makes sense though, because his son was the reason Paul picked up a camera in the first place. Since then, Paul has pursued image creation with a passion, and he has learned so much along the way. Today, Paul is still just a guy with a camera trying his best to create tangible keepsakes from fleeting moments. Paul lives in Southern California with his wonderful partner Taylor, son Xander, and daughter Charlie... and their two Mini Schnauzer's. Paul is grateful to be supported buy Fujifilm, Holdfast Gear, Profoto, Dream Books Pro, & Goodlight Presets.
