Paul shoots commercial images for advertising and packaging, press and PR images for the newspaper and magazine industry, and lots of 'people' shots: Fashion shoots, corporate portraits, and family groups are all undertaken with the same flair and creativity that stems from Paul's passion for photography. In 2011/2012, Paul was elected National President for the Master Photographer's Association - a title that he was honoured to receive. Currently, Paul is the MPA's Director of Qualifications for Associate and Fellowship submissions.In 2013, Paul was invited to be Chair of Judges for the BIPP's 'Open' competition, and in 2014 he was instrumental in creating a new worldwide judging system for the MPA. Paul has travelled to the Far East on several occasions to train the overseas judging teams, and to oversee the quality standards put in place by the MPA.
In 2014 Paul received the highest accolade possible from the Master Photographer's Association - an Honorary Fellowship, in recognition of his work and dedication to professional standards.
