After completing the prestigious All Arms Commando Course and earning the green beret, Paul discovered a passion for photography and videography in 2012—an interest that would shape the next chapter of his career.
In 2022, he transferred into the Royal Logistical Corps as an official Army Photographer, combining military experience with visual storytelling. His work has taken him across the globe, including Japan, Australia, Norway, Finland, Germany, the United States, and Estonia.
