Paul Gadd

Paul Gadd is a talented British artist and photographer who has found his passion in the art of photography. His interest in photography began during his studies at the Epsom School of Art, where he discovered his talent and creativity. He then decided to pursue his master’s degree in “Photography in the Arts” from Swansea Metropolitan University, which helped him further refine his skills.

After completing his studies in 1997, Paul started his photographic career in the fashion industry as an assistant to Chris Moore, a renowned photographer of international catwalks. After gaining a valuable experience in the field, Paul decided to embark on his journey as a freelancer and moved to Asia. There, he started working on portrait photography and exhibiting his works in personal and collective exhibitions.

With a few years of successful collaboration with international fashion magazines under his belt, Paul decided to return to artistic photography and go back to the use of film and printing techniques. This led him to develop his own unique style and refine his printing and manual intervention techniques.

In 2011, Paul opened The Print Room, a studio and gallery in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where he works and teaches photography. He also curated and followed exhibitions of emerging photographers, helping them find their professional path. In 2020, Paul moved to Seoul, and in 2023 he opened The Print Room, a new space to continue his artistic work and mentor new photographers.

Paul’s works are created through a meticulous process that involves shooting on film, followed by different mechanical interventions such as scratches. The prints obtained are then further modified by the artist using various techniques, including the ancient encaustic technique. These interventions result in unique pieces that tell his story, ranging from humor to dark atmospheres that are appreciated by collectors and galleries worldwide.
