PAUL AMODIO the man behind the photography.
	Whether you are looking for a family portrait or a headshot for your career in acting or modeling, Paul Amodio is the photographer who will be there to meet your needs.
	After graduating from college in Tampa, Florida, Paul continued to learn the craft of photography as well as the art. He has more than 10 years of professional experience "...with a discerning eye and an engaging personality." His lighting is typically soft, yielding beautiful headshots, and is quoted in The Actor's Guide For Kids as saying "In a good headshot, the personality and character should be seen in the eyes." His easygoing demeanor relaxes his models/actors to allow for their true personality and character to come through on film.

	My Background and Who I Am
	I have acted on stage with the Whole World Theatre Improvisation Comedy Troupe. I have also acted on-camera for a music video televised on MTV2, for the band Man or Astroman. I have been on the menu cover for Olive Garden Restaurant. I have even played one of Santa's elves during Christmas, greeting shoppers. So, being on the other side of the camera, I can fully appreciate what the model/actor is feeling. That's a great asset when the goal is to have someone feel comfortable so they can truly be themselves in front of the camera.
	I am a Catholic, Italian-American, originally from upstate New York. I do my best to put God at the center of my life, thankful for the gift I'm truly blessed with... the talent to create images and memories for your benefit.
	I enjoy cooking, reading, staying focused on visualizing greatness, jogging, and the martial arts, particularly Hapkido, a discipline I've been practicing for 7 years... my current rank is 1st Dan Black Belt.
