Hello There!
My name is Paul Watts, the owner of Watts New Media.
I am a professional Photo-Video Journalist with a Graphic Design background who also teaches Visual Communications full-time in the Baltimore-DC area using my 16 years of experience in the creative field.-
I can help guide the direction of any photography, photo editing, cinematography, video editing, content creation, graphic design, lighting, and mentorship that I can provide you…if you think that I am cool enough for that. :)
If not, then I can definitely help guide you in the direction of someone who can that is in the area with no hurt feelings!

ADHD and very little sleep mostly…Seriously, though -
I am very much a people pleaser when it comes to my work so every project starts with an information session where we talk about the goals of your project and what you are hoping to get out of it. This can be anything from simple memories to print out, store on your phone, or share with friends and loved ones all the way to planning a multimedia or video production to help with promoting an idea or product.
Once the idea is all figured out, I decide if I need to talk with my network of talented creative professionals or do all the work myself based on your deadlines and budget that we established during our initial meeting and any deposits have been made to lock in the date for any production time!
Total production time can vary, depending on the project, but it usually ranges from 1-4 weeks depending on workload of project and availability.
Once it is done - you review the project via a link that I share with you, you let me know if there is anything that could use a fix or update (I start charging more if we go past the first round of updates and things are still not satisfactory, so please really look at the project the first time I send it to you to prevent this)
I do use a lot of my footage shot for personal promotion, however, please feel free to let me know that you would like the footage to be for personal use only and I will be happy to add it to my archives!

I am passionate about my craft! After 16 years, it can be very easy for people to start losing the love for what they do - but not me!
Even though I teach it as part of my day job, I spend a lot of my free time working on other projects, often bring my camera with me to work, and volunteer at photo and video storytelling workshops for military veterans.
I have experience, but I still make it a point to learn something new every day. This allows my work to become better than the last project that I worked on!
