About Paul
My journey started in 1993 when I bought my first SLR camera and used it throughout my Design and Art Direction degree at Manchester Metropolitan University, learning all about film and darkroom printing. I eventually went onto photograph, develop and print all of my photographs used within my degree show.
After graduation and carving a career out in the graphic design industry I found myself behind the camera again, but from an art direction perspective. This reignited my passion for photography, capturing anything from fine art photos to wedding photography.
Being born and bred in Manchester has provided me with plenty of inspiration for my urban black and white shots, however I also love the fact that I’m surrounded by an incredible range of geologically diverse landscape such as the Peak District and the Lake District which are virtually on my doorstep!
I’m also a member of the Photo Guild and the Royal Photographic Society. Featured in the Manc.
I’m also the founder and creative director of the award winning creative branding and design agency, Think Design.
