Paul has been a resident of Osaka for the past six years, and his prize-winning images of Japan have been published in National Geographic and Kansai Magazine. His commission work alone sustains him while living in this vibrant country, with his passion and empathy for Japanese culture rewarding him with an extensive client base and many exhibitions.
A seasoned traveler, having visited more than sixty-five countries, Paul has worked as head photographer on resort islands; founded two photography galleries; coordinated tourism programs; worked as a stuntman and dancer and even acted in movies!
Having an extensive portfolio of land and seascape images, his personal work is of the nature, wildlife and cultural pursuits unique to the countries of his travels.

This incredibly dynamic artist believes photography is a medium with many forms of expression. And yes, the main reason may be to capture memories to share. Seldom without a camera in hand, he catches magic moments at any opportunity. Retreat participants can expect an amazing time with Paul as he shares his exciting approach to creativity in spectacular Japan.
