About Paul Preece

Paul Preece specialises in landscape, architecture and street photography. Paul acquired, over 30 years, a grounding in technique centred mainly on black and white street photography. In 2005 he discovered the benefits of the high resolution 5"x4" negative and the almost meditative methods common when using these cameras; large format landscapes and architecture followed. In recent years he has returned to his first love of “one shot” street photography. With his series "Bicycles" he has entered a space somewhere between abstraction and representation; it’s a rich seam and a unique voice. The artist has exhibited widely in Spain where he lived for 15 years and has won awards in both Spain and the USA. He is currently exhibiting his work in the UK where he has recently returned to live.
