Paul Bender is a Melbourne-based photographer specialising in corporate headshots and professional branding.

Paul's approach to work might be best summed up with four letters: INFJ. 
According to the Myers-Briggs type indicators, INFJs (also referred to as 'advocates') are authentic, creative, empathetic and perfectionistic. Unsurprisingly, these values are what drives Paul's interactions with his clients and collaborators, as well as his approach to photography.

Prior to earning a Diploma of Photography and picking up a camera full-time, Paul worked as a school teacher, ADF officer, social worker and media advisor to a politician.

He has lived and worked overseas multiple times and may inadvertently slip into Spanish or Vietnamese during your session (especially if you 'habla' or 'nói'!).

Paul is happily married with two teenage boys and a German Shepherd.
