Besides being an artist of international
acclaim, Paul Hill led the Trent/Derby creative photography course from 1976-78
and has served British photography in many ways on arts panels and in
photographic educational organisations since leaving a successful career as a
photojournalist for, amongst others, The Observer, The Guardian and The Radio
Times. Co-author with Tom Cooper of Dialogue with Photography, Paul has
featured in a number of television programmes, including Exploring
Photography and Contrasts. His numerous exhibitions and articles
include Towards the Inevitable, On Land and Land Marks, which
resulted from his move to the Derbyshire countryside where he set up The
Photographers’ Place in 1976. Collections include: British Council, Arts
Council, Victoria and Albert Museum, Bibliotheque Nationale, Moderna Museet
Stockholm, Australian National Gallery Canberra, Royal Photographic Society,
National Museum of Photography Bradford; Museum of Fine Arts Houston and The
Foundation for Photography Tokyo.
Paul is author of Three Perspectives on
Photography 1979, Approaching Photography and White Peak, Dark
Peak. He was the first Chairperson of the Contemporary Group within the
Royal Photographic Society, and in 1994 was awarded an M.B.E. for services to
Photography. Recent work centred on displacement and change of land use, our
escape to the countryside, and what we leave behind, whilst his current gaze is
on the absurd, such as designer pet foods! Paul is Professor of Photography at
DeMontfort University, Leicester.
Workshop History
With an M.B.E. for services to
photography, Paul is one of the most fascinating figures in contemporary
photography. Practical sessions on picture sequencing and working in new
environments.
"Thinking and seeing
photographically". Paul will examine the way we put photographs together,
from sequencing in exhibitions or books to working methodically in the field so
that, by conscious arrangement, individual statements can be made that reflect
the feelings and ideas of the makers. "Single pictures only go so
far..." A master of the positive critique, and a mine of information on the
who where why’s and what’s of Photography, Paul will help you find your
strengths and ways of displaying them!
Paul is author
of Three Perspectives on Photography 1979,
Approaching Photography,
White Peak, Dark Peak. and with Thomas Joshua Cooper of Dialogue
with Photography.
