- About[one_half_first]I’m originally from Edinburgh in Scotland and I now live in San Francisco, California. I started taking photographs in 2005, mostly landscapes at first but I always had a drive to take more creative photographs. I still enjoy landscape photography but you need to get up very early and wait for the light where as with portrait photography you get to sleep in and create your own, there’s something special in that. I’m married, I have one son (with another on the way) and I’m in my 30′s. Thanks for stopping by. Paul[/one_half_first] If you want to know more you can find me at these places: RSS Feed

- Questions[box_grey]This is a slowly expanding list of questions I have been asked.[/box_grey] [one_half_first]How much do you charge? I have a base price I work from that covers my time.

I shoot creative portraits of individuals, artists, musicians, & business owners. Will you take photographs of my kids/baby/family?

Remember those bad shirts from the 1970′s that everyone laughs at now? Exactly. OK, how about Sepia for that authentic old timey look? See the answer above. Can I share my photographs on Facebook/Twitter etc? Yes, I will provide you with web sized photographs for this purpose. You may share them as long as the watermarks remain intact.
2011 – The year of nothing?
2011, the year I stopped trying? The year I gave up? Maybe it was the year I got real. Would I like to make a living from photography? Yes. Is it possible? No. Well, it’s possible to make a living from anything but I don’t want to eat noodles and put my kids in the shitty San Francisco public school …
OneLight Workshop
On Saturday I attended the OneLight Workshop by Zack Arias. I’m sure most people are familiar with Zack by now so I won’t go into details of his past, how he got to where he is now or what he shoots on a day to day basis. All you need to know is that he’s a very talented photographer and …
