About Me

New York and Philadelphia Areas Based Photographer.
I'm known for trying crazy and unique scenarios and dig a little deeper than just your appearance and aim unique and standard looks in our work together.
I believe that fun, whimsy, and playfulness bring out the best in all of us, and in our image creation.
PAVLAKI THE PERSON: I AM APPROACHABLE!
Please feel free and comfortable to connect.  I do not demean, and I only judge by how I am treated.
If you have worked with me, you know that I am as respectful, honest and easy-going as it gets. I invite you to CHECK MY REFERENCES.
WORKING WITH PAVLAKI
I believe in relationships- you are either:
1. A paying customer.
2. A TFP model.
3. A Paid Model.
Paying customers and Paid models must pay to receive images.
Paying customers get FREE update sessions for 6 months- schedule permitting.
TFP models pay with their time and receive some free images- even a poster!

I am NOT a 'just show up and shoot' Photographer: My best work comes from mutual conversation, planning, and getting to know my subjects on a casual+ level. The better I know YOU, the better the result.

I tend to find ways to make a concept fit into my subject, not try to make the subject fit into a concept.  I photograph YOU- The concept is just an accessory or expression.
If you are not friendly, nor open to conversations, we are probably not a good fit for working together, and best that you move on.
I am far from perfect, nor do I expect perfection. Many times, awesome images are a result of imperfection.

I am open to ideas, concepts and your visions as well as mine. we are a team.
I keep my appointments, and I stay focused on my subject and our goals.
I believe in service- If you pay me for two hours, you may even get three.
I am not a clock-watcher. For me, it's all about " getting that shot".
In the case of startup/financial hardship, we can arrange a payment plan, that is comfortable for you.

I do my level best to make myself accessible to all levels of ability to pay. I am open to TFP sessions, depending on goals and my availability. To apply for TFP, click on the bottom link that contains "form.jotform"
I book only one or two TFP shoots per week, either at my Long Island or Philadelphia area Studios.
All teamwork and collaboration with me begin with a real connected email, text and voice conversation.
Friending me is okay, but no collaboration will ensue without a proper follow-up introduction and conversation.

"I had the opportunity to meet and work with Paul unknowingly. We were both brought together due to a casting call here on model mayhem. Paul’s knowledge and willingness to try new things was refreshing. It was evident based on Paul’s mannerisms, he tends to work with people to get shoots that speak to him and the client. I look forward to working with him in the future." Read less
