Growing up in the surf of Southern California, Paul graduated with an arts degree in English/Creative Writing from college in San Diego and immediately set off to travel the world in search of stories. However, he unexpectedly found himself in the fashion industry and utilized modeling to travel the world for the next decade. During this adventurous time he realized his method of storytelling was through images as well as words, and proceeded to teach himself the art of photography. In 2006 he moved to New York to pursue photography full-time.

Paul’s uniquely sensitive style is cinematic blended with a distinct metaphoric narrative, often tinged with bittersweet nostalgia for the past, present, and future.  His images shun superficiality and pretension, preferring instead to highlight the natural beauty and sublimity of his subjects.  To express this he often creatively exploits natural or environmental light.

Apart from photography, Paul is a published poet, writer, journalist,  a budding director, polyglot, and avid surfer. Both his fashion and documentary work regularly appear in prestigious publications worldwide. Paul is based in New York and Paris.
