03About

An actor, behind the camera.

I love working with actors because I’m an actor myself — trained at a drama conservatory in Paris — so I know exactly how it feels on the other side of the lens.

I shoot cinematic, expressive headshots from my own East Village studio, on canvas backdrops I paint by hand. The goal is simple: the frame casting actually needs to see — the best version of the real you, not a stiff ID photo. More about Paul →
