Paolo Abellana is a Photographer and Videographer based in San Jose, California.

 

I have always been amused by photography. My interests stemmed at a young age, back in the Philippines, where I worked at a photo shop developing film for customers. The ability to help others archive memories that would last a lifetime was something very special to me, and I cherished that job.

I then moved to America when I was 16. This was a notable time as this was when photography became more than just a hobby for me. I enrolled in a photography class, learned different techniques, and made connections with people in the photography and music realm. My clientele began to grow; and this allowed me to establish my own photography business.

I take pride in my work and gain the most satisfaction when I see clients happy and excited from the work I produce. I am thankful for the opportunities this job has given me, and for all the friends and clients I’ve met along the way.
