Trusted by 1,500 Clients Who Demand the Best Photography
More than 1,500 clients have trusted Paul Manoian to capture their most important moments—from professionals to performers and even high school seniors. Our sessions are designed to highlight your individuality with stunning, authentic images that you’ll love for a lifetime.
Natural Light Meets Pro Studio Vibes
Something exciting is in the works. I’m opening a brand-new headshot and portfolio studio in the heart of downtown Ann Arbor! This is a huge leap—and I couldn’t be more excited to expand what Paul Manoian Photography offers.
Actor headshots, model portfolio building, and pro branding sessions—this isn’t your average studio.
This new space is appointment-only and built for professionals, performers, and students who want more than a cookie-cutter studio experience. Whether you need a clean, polished headshot or a dynamic portfolio for castings and auditions, this space is made for you.
The best part? It’s not just another boxy studio with harsh lights. Along one wall runs a full row of north-facing windows that flood the space with soft, natural light—so you get the best of both worlds: traditional studio setups and naturally lit looks that stand out.
Whether it’s a classic headshot or a full portfolio refresh, we’ll capture the images that get you booked.
What Will Happen Here?
- Professional headshots for executives, entrepreneurs, and creatives
- Actor and model portfolio sessions with multiple looks
- In-person client meetings and image reveals
- A home base for my Ann Arbor clients who want a studio option
- No walk-ins. Ever. 100% personalized sessions by appointment only
More than a headshot. This is your brand in pixels.
Why a Studio Now?
For over 15 years, I’ve specialized in natural light and on-location photography—and that’s not changing. But it’s time to offer more.
This studio gives my clients another option: a clean, controlled space for those who want studio-quality images with zero distractions and total focus on you. It’s ideal for headshots, branding, auditions, and portfolio refreshes.
Stay tuned for updates, grand opening news, and early access to book sessions in the new space.
