THE PHOTOGRAPHER
Hi I’m Paul
I’m a sports enthusiast, Seinfeld fanatic, city dweller, animal lover, and photographer.
My photography wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for a pivotal decision I made in 2021. After 15 years in consumer insights, I was feeling stuck—not because I didn’t enjoy what I was doing, but because I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was meant to create something more personal.
I first dabbled in photography while studying design in college, capturing skylines and stadiums at night—two things I loved as a kid, cities and sports. But as graduation neared, I chose a more practical path and pursued a career in marketing and consumer insights.
UNDER THE LIGHTS
We live in a world that moves by fast. We grow up quick. Become adults. And get caught up in the chaos of life.
Under the Lights brings sports and pop culture nostalgia to life by recreating iconic moments using toy figures and meticulously designed props.
Photographed by Paul Schlossman, the artwork opens up exciting possibilities for experiencing sports and culture in a more playful and creative way.
The idea was inspired by how Paul imagined his childhood sports figurines looked while playing with them; under stadium lights, twilit skies, and realistic as possible.
Each photo is shot outdoors to produce the most authentic look of athletes playing under stadium lights at twilight.
The backdrop is purposely minimal, symbolizing what flow state looks and feels like for athletes. No fans. No crowd. No distractions. Just calmness, focus and the stillness of the moment.
SOLE OF THE STREETS
Sole of the Streets is a photo series that pays homage to sneaker culture by photographing iconic sneakers in a way that immerses us in the street. Not just any street, but the hidden alleys and bustling avenues where culture, grit, and creativity collide. It’s where sneakers become more than footwear—they become our collective identity.
Sneakers have the power to unite. In a world that often feels foreign and divided, where negativity and isolation can overshadow our sense of belonging, the series is meant to rekindle our connection to community and creativity through sneakers. Each image serves as a reminder of the unity and inspiration we can find even amidst the complexities of modern society.
