Person
British fine-art photographer Paul Sanders has been involved in photography for over 35 years, first as a black-and-white printer, then as a fashion photographer.
An opening at a local weekly newspaper for a trainee photographer led to jobs at the Manchester Evening News, Reuters, and then as Picture Editor of The Times. During 2011 he suffered a nervous breakdown as a result of stress and burnout. He made the decision to leave the role at The Times to pursue his love of nature and the landscape and, working closely with a therapist, started exploring how photography could aid his recovery.
Paul's approach to landscape photography is one of mindful connection. After looking at thousands of images every day during his years at The Times, his own work is made in response to emotional and spiritual reactions to the locations he visits, and reflecting a sense of stillness and calm. Today Paul's, beautiful, reflective work has been exhibited widely across the UK, Europe and Japan.
