He is also an experienced photography tutor and has been leading photography holidays for over 15 years. Destinations have included Italy,Morocco, Kerala and Rajasthan in India, Iceland,Vietnam andMyanmar. Paul started out as a landscape photographer but says;“One of the compelling facets of photography is the diverse range of genres that we are able to give our attention to. I have always enjoyed the challenge of wildlife photography, particularly attempting to photograph birds in flight.More recently,much of my photography has been travel based and here the challenge is to portray the emotion of the subject or to tell a story. One common thread through these genres is that the timing of the shot is critical – a fleetingmoment of light in the landscape, amoment of animal behaviour or the flash of emotion on a person’s face.”
