Break the Rules

Paul challenges photographers to put down the rulebook and rediscover their own perspective. Drawing on talks he has given at Photo Pills Camp and beyond, he guides participants through his approach to framing, leading lines, and abstraction, pushing them to see familiar spaces in an entirely new way and remember why they picked up a camera in the first place.

Paul shares the story behind his aerial photography practice, from his first flights over New York City to shooting the Fourth of July fireworks from an open-door helicopter. A presentation on the unexpected journey that led to him shooting from the sky, and the technical and creative challenges of making images no one else can.
