Photography

“Although my primary medium is writing, I find that the camera affords me a different view and perspective to tell a story. Setting up compositions during a photo session allows me an opportunity to slow down a story’s action. Body language and facial expression are amplified and framed. This is similar to what I hope to achieve with my writing, but with photography it’s more immediate. When I look through the lens before I press the button, it’s like looking through a microscope. I see things that might not be evident otherwise.”

Born and raised in the Garden State, Paul Rabinowitz has been creating across multiple art forms for almost two decades. When his photography takes the stage, each frame does what Rabinowitz seems to do best: telling a story. The subjects of his pieces are partially posed, but their pose doesn’t seem to be what he’s after. Instead of capturing a composition, his photos are about relaying a mood.
