We live in an image rich, fast paced world and Paul’s photography and skills helps brands, people and businesses stand out amongst it. More than 3000 clients across New Zealand have trusted Paul since 2010 because his work is refined, distinct, and always hits budget and brief. He is real people person who understands how to see the very best in everyone and every situation. A positive kiwi ‘can do’ attitude is part of his success. A storyteller at heart, Paul can capture and express a genuine connection of people and places to their audiences. From trades people to CEO’s and office teams to kick ass events, he always gets the shot. With a cool and calm approach, Paul is just as happy working in a fast paced corporate environment to a muddy farm in the middle of nowhere.
Paul also has a central city portrait studio if you don’t fancy adventures outside. Prior to photography Paul has worked across all sorts of professions from science, graphic design, and IT to helping the homeless and adults with disabilities. He’s lived and worked in the UK, Australia and New Zealand. This diversity of experience enables him to understand multiple genres of photography and adapt to clients individual needs.
These days Paul is more focussed on a slower more purposeful life with peace and quiet over the hustle. Away from the camera Paul is often found outdoors amongst the tress, or hiking and mountain biking in the stunning Porthills, or clambering up mountains in the Southern Alps. Paul appreciates fine art, photobooks and has an extensive personal arts practice that keeps him creatively inspired.
A true 90’s kid at heart Paul still loves his music and has a few vintage hifi setups with an ever increasing collection of records and CD’s that ‘are a better experience’ than streaming. Paul loves to help other photographers and is currently a Mentor for members of the New Zealand Institute of Professional Photography (NZIPP) as well as tutors privately.
