Paul Rich has a natural gift for capturing genuine moments. His photography career began at the early age of 13 when he began working as an assistant for a wedding and Bar Mitzvah photographer in the Boston area. His interest in the field grew, and Paul pursued photography in high school and received a degree in Photography from Bard College in NY.

In 1998, Paul fit as many of his belongings as would fit in his car and drove cross-country in pursuit of adventure. He arrived in Portland, OR and began assisting a commercial photographer in town and began accepting assignments on his own in 2005. In 2007, Paul Rich Studio was officially launched with a focus on wedding photography. This led to portrait assignments, professional headshots, real estate photography, events, and all sorts of other types of photography. While the typical advice for photographers is to focus their area of interest, Paul always wanted to broaden his sights and offer his services to a variety of disciplines.

So in lieu of being a wedding photographer, or a headshot photographer, or this or that, Paul has opted to offer his services to a larger audience. Being a business owner himself, he understands the need for quick turnaround times, quality work, dependability, punctuality, and clear and concise communication. His goal is to provide you with the precise images you need within the time frame you need them. Consistently.

Paul Rich has a growing diverse client list that includes: Marriott, Nike, Disney, Genentech, Fujimi, Ilani Casino, The Linux Foundation, and many others. He provides real estate photography to over 40 realtors in the Portland, OR, Vancouver, WA, and surrounding areas, typically photographing an average of 25 listings per month.
