About Paul Preece
I was born in a barn in Wales. Yes, really. Barn phase over, I worked as a research scientist and published papers on Alzheimer's disease and neuropathology. I am also a musician, a sound engineer, a cooker of cakes and a sea kayak instructor. My cv is long and colourful. One lifetime constant has been a passion for photography born in a time when toxic chemicals and darkened rooms were the norm. Photography has evolved since then and I have evolved with it, but I’m still attached to the curious idea that a photograph can be taken with one camera, one moment and very little else.
