After The Summer Fires, Australia Photograph - Limited Edition of 5

Paul's fine art photography is an eclectic collection of details and broader views. Passionate about the search for light, he forges and caresses it, both in camera and with software. The essential finale of the process, though, is a limited edition, museum quality print. Today, when amazing pictures are swiped away in seconds, standing before a thoughtful, well-crafted print is to experience the soul of photography. 'I make pictures to express how light and shadow shape my creativity. While I do photograph single experiences or light events, I am most attracted by the coast and the horizon for inspiration. I call my process ‘finding pictures’ and it may help explain my eclectic range of subjects. It grows from an inquisitive interest in landscape and the human condition as well as a passionate search for light.' Paul sees himself as a generalist photographer working on disparate projects or themes that intrigue and even beguile him. Some themes are ongoing but he is often inspired by a single experience or light event. Paul's small edition fine art prints can be colour, black and white or toned - it is the light that determines the process. 'In 2006 I almost permanently lost my sight after eye surgery. It took several years for my eyes to recover and longer to come to terms with the associated depression. Even now I am somewhat limited by the amount of commissioned work I can comfortably undertake. The recovery period gave me time to re-discover my photographic origins. I used it to express how that smeared vision, in the months immediately after the surgery, filtered the world. I find myself drawn to disguising scenes and details with blur and motion.'
