After living and walking in the Peak District of Derbyshire for five years, Paul decided to use the immediate landscape around his home to explore his relationship with the area. Using a small format camera and a mid-grey tonal range, he created an acknowledged ‘alternative’ landscape photography aesthetic. The fine detail of large format cameras photographs was challenged by a more ‘gritty’, gestural approach that used a similar strategy of framing and vantage point begun in Prenotations and culminated in White Peak Dark Peak.
