About

For as long as I can remember I’ve always had the urge to get out and see the world, experience new cultures, and explore some of the wild places the planet has to offer, but it wasn’t until I started to travel that photography became one of my passions in life.

Over the past few decades, I’ve been incredibly fortunate to have had the time and opportunity to travel around the globe, visit many of the wonders of the world, and experience a vast array of fascinating cultures.  It’s these experiences that naturally led to me specialising in travel photography. It’s often the incredible landscapes that make people want to travel, but for me it’s the culture and interaction with people that I find the most interesting and rewarding.

I prefer to take candid photos of people going about their everyday life, but I also like to spend time with the people I photograph wherever possible. Through photography and the increased interaction it brings, I’ve met some of the most friendly, humble, weird and wonderful people you could ever hope to meet. I can only hope that I have managed to portray some of them in a way that reflects their character, warmth and spirit. If an image can capture the essence of a place, a person, or a culture and successfully relay that to the viewer, then it will have achieved everything a good travel image should.

I was awarded an Associateship with the Royal Photographic Society (ARPS) for a set of images taken in India and then achieved a Distinction with the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain (DPAGB) for a portfolio of 15 images taken over several years. This kick started my emerging path in life and I now regularly undertake photographic commissions for a variety of clients which has led to the sale of images to multinational corporations and images being selected for use in global seminars.

I’m currently based in Winchester as a freelance photographer.  If you’d like to contact me regarding a commission, or would like to purchase any of my images, then please get in touch by email (whereispaul@hotmail.com) or by using the contact page on this website.
