ASMP Member Feature: Paul Trantow

Paul Trantow has been a full-time pro for over 20 years. One of the first things he did after incorporating was to join ASMP. “I was reading this bulletin board full of seasoned, working pros that was mentioned in a Jack Reznicki book. This was a welcoming community, but they made sure all the rookies went to a local trade association like ASMP to learn how to run their businesses. So I did.

Paul’s business (corporate and headshots mostly) grew steadily, and he counts himself as lucky to be as busy as he is in such a talented city. “I still believe in using a network like ASMP, to grow your business. It’s often a lifesaver. And having trustworthy, skillful colleagues to send to shoots I can’t make is a win-win!”
