About Paul Manoian Photography

“Photography is not my job nor hobby. It is my passion.”  ~Paul Manoian

There are no words to describe the connection between photos and emotion. Yet, the perfect photo is able to capture a thousand words. My style is relaxed and contemporary and my goal is to make lasting impressions of your special moments and capture them in time, full of life. Together, we will discuss the options available and design the perfect session to create a unique piece of family history.

Although I am based in Livonia, Michigan, I regularly photograph throughout Metro Detroit and southeast Michigan. I am probably best known for my model, fashion and editorial as well as professional head shot photography here in Metro Detroit, but all of that carries over into my other photography as well, especially weddings, high school seniors and kids!

Who is Paul Manoian?

My photography career started as an artistic endeavor in my early teen years and then exploded while attending the University of Michigan.  I offer creative photographic services for model and editorial shoots, senior portraits, weddings, etc. My entire team is dedicated to producing the professional photographs of the highest quality.

Since I love to shoot on-location at an outdoor retreat, your favorite spot or in your home, I often rely on the beauty of natural light and may choose to modify it with diffusers and reflectors. Even so, I utilize full studio lighting when appropriate and will combine it with available natural light based on the time and day and location.

I currently live in Livonia, Michigan with my wife, two kids and two cats.  My other interests include camping, fishing and web design.
