About Me

Paul has been shooting since 1978. His studio/rooftop, located in Manhattan, corner of 27th St. & 7th Ave., is one of the best, if not the best rooftops in the city! Used by photographers, videographers and film makers from around the world. Paul, known for his portraits of rich and powerful people has photographed everyone from Muhammad Ali to Bill Gates. He is always ready and able to try new looks and to help with models just starting out to the veteran.
