Paul Ottaviano is a photographer based in Oregon USA. After working commercially for several years, his life changed when diagnosed with MS in 2018. Since then, he shoots photography for personal enrichment and creative outlet, choosing to share his work with peers on the commons. Coslocal in approach, his subject matter ranges from travel to portraiture. "Artless, wordless, no approval required" is his motto. Paul's work background is myriad and includes banking, internet marketing, and export distribution. He earned a B.A. in Communications TV/Film from California State University, Fullerton in 1998. Currently he resides in the Portland, OR Metro Area with his partner Jodana and their dog Kali. Paul prefers to spend time in his garden or listening to jazz, rather than be on social media networks. For him, conversation is the best social media. For more context on Paul's work please visit his website Paul Ottaviano Photography or blog Expanding Vistas.
