Wilderness landscapes are Paul's passion and he moved himself to far north Queensland to 1984 to pursue his goal of having the best photo library in that part of the world. He was attracted to the countryside around Cairns which has everything from pristine, golden beaches devoid of footprints to permanently damp mountain tops with views over unspoiled wilderness and wild trackless rivers, to the dry sandstone and basalt escarpment country west of the ranges. Come and share his experiences and knowledge in a field-based situation and be challenged to see the local environment through your camera viewfinder in a new way with support ready at hand to guide you to achieving a satisfying image.

I am a passionate photographic artist and educator with a deep love for visual storytelling and creative expression. As an Internationally published artist, with close to 30 years of experience behind the camera and in the classroom, I specialise in helping students build both technical confidence and artistic vision. My teaching covers everything from camera fundamentals and lighting to composition, editing, portraiture, and commercial photography.

I believe great photography is about more than settings and equipment. It is about learning to see the world differently. My classes are designed to be hands-on, encouraging, and accessible for photographers at every skill level. Whether students are picking up a camera for the first time or refining a professional portfolio, I aim to create an environment that inspires creativity, curiosity, and personal growth.

Through practical projects and real-world techniques, I help students develop their own unique style while mastering the skills needed to capture meaningful, impactful images.
