I love to travel and venture out to new locations around the world. I'm a big fan of the outdoor, wildlife, and still life photography. A lot of my photos come from my love for the outdoors. I'll admit it, I'm a sucker for clouds, water, and sunsets. I'm inspired by my all-time favorite photographer- Nick Brandt.

I'm a full time student who uses photography as a way to escape from chaotic academia. I try my best to get out and take as many beautiful photos as possible.

Achievements:
-Stock photography for a Seattle Sightseeing website
-Photo cover for a local band in PA
-2nd in the Tabula Art Show
-Multiple stock photo for online articles

    "Paul has a true passion for photography and his painstaking attention to detail is visible throughout his work. He has learned most of the techniques that he knows through reading up on the internet and experimenting with them by himself. Paul helped kick start my passion for photography, without him I wouldn't know half about what I know about photography today. Keep on regualarly checking his webiste for new photos that will continue to impress and inspire."

    "Hey everyone. This is Paul. He's a great guy that I got to know in college. He devotes much of his free time to improving his photography technique, and takes pride in what he does. As you can see, his work speaks for itself. This guy has the kind of artistic eye that many of us strive for. His photos reveal a knack for aesthetics and a keen sense of detail. Keep checking this guy's photo sets. He seems to pop out a new masterpiece everytime I sign on. Keep it up Paul. You give me something to strive for."

    "Everybody can take a picture, many can take good pictures, but very few take many good pictures and work to better themselves by each shot. Of course this has helped Paul develop very astonishing skills, both in raw photography and post camera edits. He is currently a superb photographer, but with his determination and focus, in a few years he will be one of the predominate photographers of the world(seriously, the guys focus scares me). He has the talent and good eyes to begin with and with the regiment of training that he has himself on he is bound to be one of the very few.

    Paul has something that only ones with talent do. His shot of the same exact subject will be miles away from what others try. Of the many shots of any given subject the ones taken by him will stand out. That is not an easy task.

    I came across the photos of Paul as I was roaming around Flickr, I clicked on a photo which could have been like the other million that I have seen, from my favorite skyline of Seattle, but once I got the stream of his photos, I realized this guy meant business."
