Introduction: Hi there! I’m Paul Vroom and I appreciate you stopping for a moment to read my intro. Having a memorable experience and getting the best value for your time and money is important to you, right? I respect that because I want the same. Connecting, collaborating, and creating excellence in imagery is my passion and my commitment. I will do whatever is within my power to provide my clients with a memorable experience and with images that illicit a "Yes!", “Nice!”, or “Thank you!”. Getting those images to you in the agreed upon time frame is also my commitment.
I've been shooting for ten years and at the end of 2022 decided to officially hang my own shingle, PV Photography LLC. I’m a member of the Professional Photographers of America association, the world’s oldest and largest non-profit org for and by photographers and I hold a CPP (Certified Professional Photographer) designation with them, which means I passed a rigorous test and image submissions process. Since then I've been hired by commercial contractors to shoot their architecture, actors to shoot their headshots, businesses to shoot their products and so on. I was invited to show my work in a gallery this past August and in September won the annual photography contest for the California Welcome Centers. My work can be seen in the Yucca Valley/Joshua Tree Welcome Center for the next year.
What sets me apart is 30 years in the entertainment industry in front of and behind the camera. I worked as an actor, writer, live show director, and performance coach for 25 years and l learned innumerable lessons from that, which positively translate to my photography and to how I run my business. During that time, like most actors, I held “bill paying jobs”. For me, that was two jobs – Performance/Speaker Coach and for 12 years a SUD counselor. I’m truly a people person and LOVE to connect with others on a meaningful level. I’m known for my ability to empathetically connect with others and for the effort I put into my work. This means I may charge a bit more than others but I’m certain I’m not the most expensive and I am confident you’ll get your money’s worth.
