About Paul

Paul Baldassini is a fine artist, professional graphic artist and designer, master retoucher and photo compositor, and an expert in archival-quality photo restoration. He also offers individual and group instruction on digital imaging techniques for print and web graphics on a consultative basis.

Paul began his career retouching black-and-white publicity stills for stage artists - ballet dancers, musical theater actors, and singers. Later, he specialized in retouching and color-correcting advertising product photography destined for print media.

While Paul learned his craft in the days of airbrushes, compressed air, photo-grays and color pan watercolors, frisket paper and acetate stencils, he became one of the first graphic artists in New England to embrace the emerging digital technology, quickly realizing its potential for both his commercial and personal work. For more than 4 years, he was an instructor of digital imaging at Boston's Mass College of Art, Dept. of Continuing Education.

Today, using a professional digital graphic workstation, scanners, digital camera, and a sophisticated set of electronic tools, Paul acts as a "digital craftsman", working with individuals, libraries, historical associations, and commercial clients.
