👋 About Paul:
Born in Chatham, Kent in 1981, Paul began his military career in 2001, joining the Army as a mechanic. Over the years, he served on operations in demanding environments including Iraq and Afghanistan, while also representing the Army as a basketball player.
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.
