Welcome to Paul Manoian Photography

Where Your Story Comes to Life …

Photography isn’t just what I do—it’s a fundamental part of who I am. As an award-winning photographer recognized as the best in Detroit, my mission is to capture your unique essence through my lens. My passion for photography ignited in my early teens and flourished during my time at the University of Michigan, growing into a highly acclaimed career.

Award-Winning Craftsmanship I’m proud to be celebrated as Detroit’s #1 Best Portrait Photographer (WDIV Vote 4 The Best), a recognition of my ability to create vibrant, expressive, and deeply personal images. Whether it’s capturing the pivotal moments of a senior year, the warmth of family gatherings, standout professional headshots, or the joy and intimacy of weddings, I am committed to delivering more than just pictures—I capture memories that resonate and inspire.

He Made the Candid Shots Happen

We booked Paul to take pictures at our son’s first birthday party, which in our culture is considered one of the two main birthdays in our life time. He understood exactly what kind of moments we wanted to have preserved on film, and he delivered. We were completely satisfied with his pictures, the angles he found to capture many special moments, and how he became ‘invisible’ to the people present to make the candid shots happen. He is reliable to work with and easily available by phone or email. We will definitely contact Paul again for our next big event.

Limitless Creativity: I push boundaries in every session, ensuring no two shoots are alike. With unlimited poses and wardrobe changes, I capture every facet of your personality.
Tailored Experiences: Each photo session is uniquely yours. From sunlit outdoor settings to sophisticated studio shoots, I tailor every detail to align with your vision.
Transparent Pricing: I operate with complete transparency. With straightforward pricing and a low minimum print order, you only invest in what you truly love—no hidden fees, no surprises.
Full-Service Professionalism: Need a touch-up? I work closely with a network of professional stylists and makeup artists to ensure you look and feel your best.
Digital and Print Fusion: Every print purchase includes a digital image, perfect for sharing your cherished moments with friends and family online.

Where Magic Happens Based in Livonia, Michigan, my scope extends far beyond. From the urban heart of Detroit to the serene landscapes of Traverse City, and even across the United States, I'm there to capture the essence of your special moments, wherever they unfold.

My Signature Style My approach blends authentic, candid photography with artistic flair. Utilizing natural light and surroundings, I craft shots that feel spontaneous and real. For more controlled settings, I employ sophisticated studio lighting to highlight the beauty and detail of each moment.
