Paul

I've always had a deep passion for photographing people. For over 40 years, my focus has been on families, capturing their unique stories. Yet, time and again, I found myself drawn to the mother's stories, and what they often keep hidden behind the many roles they play: mother, wife, daughter, and career.

Today, my work is evolving. My passion is now centred on uncovering these hidden layers, allowing their inner light to shine though.
I believe every woman has an incredible story and deserves to celebrate herself - her triumphs, her journey, honour her struggles and wear those wrinkles (if you have them) with pride, they are the marks that define your story. There is beauty to be found in every chapter.
