Hi, I'm Paul

Here’s your bio rewritten in the Scrimshaw Media voice—gritty, experienced, salt-stained, and grounded in craft:

I’ve spent more than a decade behind the lens, earning my place through work that’s taken me from newsrooms to cliff faces to commercial sets. I’ve been a photojournalist, an adventure sports shooter, and a studio photographer. In between, I’ve worked as a salesman, a carpenter, an archival framer, and a semi-pro rock climber. Every one of those jobs taught me how to build, how to solve problems, and how to stay steady when things get rough.

​

I don’t treat photography like a mystical art form. I treat it like a skilled trade—measured, intentional, and rooted in understanding what a client actually needs. Whether I’m photographing a brand, a pet, or a product, I bring the same grounded, hands-on approach: thoughtful when it needs precision, gritty when the job demands it, and always driven by craft over convenience.

​

This isn’t just something I do.
It’s the work I know by heart—and the work I’m built for.
