Bio & Artist's Statement Paul’s photography has been described as “street photography,” which he views as an effort to record life as it naturally unfolds around us. Many photographs are taken reflexively to capture a passing moment while more time is available for other images, though few are ever posed. He attempts to capture the intriguing details of people, places and objects as they are found in big cities and small towns. The names of the photographs offer insights into his vision. Paul was born and grew up in Miami, Florida. His love of photography originated with his father whom he once “accused” of photographing every egret and blue heron in South Florida… at least twice. After graduating from Georgia Tech with a degree in Aerospace Engineering, he studied art with Faye Gold and photography at the Atlanta College of Art. For years he worked primarily with black and white photography, processing film and printing in his own dark room. In 1996 he moved from film to digital color photography, which he does exclusively today. Paul is an active member of the Roswell Photographic Society where he was named Overall Photographer of the Year for 2007 and 2006 and Digital Photographer of the Year for 2005. He is also active with the Atlanta Photography Group where his work is often included in shows at the Tula Arts Center. His work has been exhibited at numerous shows in Georgia and elsewhere in the South and is included in both public and private collections. Paul also speaks regularly to art/photography groups on his “brand” of photography, illustrating his techniques with many examples of his work.
