About Paul Cassidy
Photographer Bio
Paul bought his first camera as a teenager by working through the summer break as a carpenter's apprentice. He started his professional career as an electrical and electronic engineer (TripleE). The Life of a TripleE and raising a family took most of his time until the kids were grown. While living in Abu Dhabi in 2008, he started honing his skills again. Paul lives in Pasadena, CA, and travels for photography as much as possible. Paul is a Canon guy.
