When photographer and educator Mark Comon talks about photography, his passion is unmistakable. As the owner of Paul’s Photo in Torrance, California, and founder of the Creative Photo Academy, Mark has spent decades helping photographers at every level discover their creative potential. Through economic downturns, digital revolutions, and even the pandemic, he has kept Paul’s Photo thriving—one of the rare family-owned camera stores to endure and grow in an industry transformed by change. Mark’s philosophy is rooted in community and education. He believes that photography flourishes when people learn, share, and make images together. Whether teaching composition, lighting, or visual storytelling, he focuses on empowering others to connect with their subjects and themselves. His enduring dedication to the photographic community has made Paul’s Photo and Creative Photo Academy not just places to buy gear, but true centers for inspiration and learning.
