Originally from the Lehigh Valley in Pennsylvania, Paul was a fine artist concentrating on painting and drawing until his studies introduced him to photography. After learning from many mentors and influences, he became drawn towards becoming a photographer and earned his BFA from Kutztown University.
During his past 20 yrs in business, Paul’s photography has evolved into what he specializes in today. As a photographer primarily capturing images of interior environments and food, his abilities allow him to accommodate a niche within the hospitality, design and food industries.
Paul had the opportunity to train in Germany and France with the renowned Leica Akademie. Not only was he able gain in-depth knowledge about different Leica camera systems, it inspired a different way of seeing through his photography. Since this time, Paul has been a loyal Leica photographer and credits part of his style to the "Leica Look.”
Today, Paul lives in beautiful Bucks County, PA with his wife Andrea and their two daughters. He is central to the Philadelphia, Pittsburgh & New York City metro regions His photoshoots are either on-location or in studio environments with all the creative resources available for a successful production. He is available for commissions anywhere.
