Paul Askedall

My name is Paul Askedall and I was born and raised in Torrance, California, and after living in NY for many years, I moved back to California. I am a Soldier of the U.S. Army because living with discipline and being a warrior at heart, it's another notch of experience in my life. 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 published a book. And I am always trying to better myself.

For photography styles I mostly enjoy doing dark/wicked/industrial and goth pictures, even anime/comic/video game 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 have one keloid (scar) on my right shoulder.
-I have one tattoo in the middle of my back down my spine, Japanese Kanji for "Bushido"

I'm a film 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 the Army,  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. I've met and know plenty of celebrities from the industry. The most memorable ones are the respectable ones, people with character.


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!
