Paul is a fine art landscape photographer based on the Sunshine Coast, Australia. Born in Taranaki, grew up in Hamilton, New Zealand and moved to Queensland, Australia in 2001 where he now resides. As a profession combined with his photography Paul has been the owner of a preservation picture framing and fine art printing business since 2004 where he sells his work through his gallery. It was through his successful creative business that his photography journey evolved.
"I simply try to incorporate a minimalist approach that values a calm aesthetic of the landscape through the projects I work on. Primarily these days most of my work is in black and white format. I feel with monochrome it allows me to place more of a concentrated value on the formality and tonal range of an image, not always but often I find colour can dominate and somewhat distract those elements.
While my inspiration derives from many artists, I believe it is paramount for an artist to aspire to a mere scrambling of those influences in order to create their own unique path. It is your own personal journey. A journey that I've found profoundly humbling and though challenging, ultimately provokes an artistic drive, energy and fulfilment within me to produce future works".
