What distinguishes Paul's work is a quality beyond the expected literalism of the camera lens. What Paul's images really capture is not people or place, but the emotional landscape of something we all understand even if we can't name it. Regardless, the viewer comes away from the imagery feeling as if she has seen something special.
"I look for a dreamlike quality", he says, "a mood that is almost universally understood but doesn't translate easily into words. This process is one that kind of tumbles along on the edge of a current, a kind of stream of intuition, where the result is a gentle dialogue between the image and the viewer."
"It's so refreshing to find a photographer who gives you so much more than you were hoping to get in an image without the ego, attitude and drama. It's the best photography MTD has for any of their brands. Paul doesn't compromise quality and is a genuinely nice guy too." - Joanne Kim, Partner / Executive Creative Director - Marcus Thomas, LLC
"Paul has a truth to his work that pulls you in, questioning the story behind the shot. His work represents emotion and a curiosity in the world around him: locals on the street, rural town dwellers, outcasts and road trips. I truly respect and admire the man, the artist and his photography."
