Paul Askedall

*NOTICE* I am enlisting in the US Army, I am leaving for Basic Combat Training in January 2010, then I will be going to my Advanced Individual Training after and will be gone until the end of July. *NOTICE*


My name is Paul Askedall and I was born and raised in Torrance, California, and I recently moved back to Torrance.
I am on the path to draw comics and create conceptual art for video games; I was among the top selected for an internship at Marvel Entertainment.
I also have a film production company and we have a few projects in the works.
I am always trying to better myself.
For photograpy styles I mostly enjoy doing dark/wicked/industrial and goth pictures, even anime/comic themes. I have fun in front of the camera so I'm open to try different things. I'm silly when I can be and practical when I have to be.

I'm an actor on the side so if you would like to set up a photo shoot, let me know ahead of time so we can schedule something. Besides that and work, I can get very busy.

NOTE: I strongly dislike when other models and photographers don't return messages or comments. If you have more experience under your belt, that's fine, but we're all human and you started at the bottom, just like everyone else (unless you were born into a rich/famous family). You may have more experience and you may be "higher" than others in social status but that's where one shouldn't develop an ego. Unless you're from a royal family, YOU ARE NOT ROYAL, YOU ARE NOT BETTER THAN ANYONE. I've met and know plenty of celebrities on tv or in movies or music, and in front of the camera they may seem like someone big and intimidating, but in person, those celebrities are just people that have reached very far in life. Given, they deserve respect, but they do not deserve to be treated like gods and goddesses...unless you have a complex and make them out to be higher beings, but that's not the case.

TRAVEL: I pay for my own travel throughout California, New York, and Toronto, Ontario but anywhere else I am looking for compensation.

Reach me through messages if you have questions, comments, or would like to set up a shoot!
