BEING WHERE THE
ACTION IS
From monumental moments to Mardi Gras, he relishes in authoring visual stories rich with history and humanity.
Paul delights in the unexpected moments of pure joy he captures, especially those he experiences with his loved ones, laughing together until tears are in their eyes. An acute observer and active listener, Paul absorbs life as it happens around him and relays it through his breathtaking work.
Following a successful photojournalism career at the Los Angeles Times, Paul served as Deputy Director of Photography of the White House Photo Office for seven years. Documenting President George W. Bush's daily life, Paul captured numerous historical events, including the inaugurations of Presidents Bush and Obama.
Paul photographs for the Clinton Global Initiative and cycles along, camera in hand, with the veterans of President Bush’s W100K. His work is currently housed in the Smithsonian and the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum in Texas.
Beyond politics, Paul has photographed notable figures like Harrison Ford, Bono, and Kobe Bryant, as well as Fortune 500 companies like Apple and Disney.
His kindness, discretion, and professionalism continue to earn Paul the confidence of the bush family.
As their trusted photographer, Paul has captured both the Bush twins' weddings and the gravity of Barbara and George H.W. Bush's end-of-life celebrations.
Paul's artistry is influenced by classic photography from the LIFE magazine era and Oscar-worthy cinematography, with his most significant source of inspiration being the people he photographs.
The vibrant energy, charming scenery, and sense of community in his adopted hometown of New Orleans always serve as a spark for his creativity.
When he isn’t traveling the world for work, Paul enjoys cycling and the company of his wife while immersing himself in his city’s culture.
"I'm most proud of creating a visual history of my client's life moments so their future generations will have something to look back on."
