Paul Sansome: The art of travel photography
Paul Sansome is a professional fine art and travel photographer based in the south of England.
An experienced photography tutor, Paul has been leading photography holidays for over 15 years to destinations that include Tuscany, Venice and Abruzzo in Italy, Marrakesh, Essauoira and The High Atlas Mountains of Morocco, Kerala and Rajasthan in India, Iceland, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar.
Paul started out as a landscape photographer but, more recently, much of his photography has been travel-based. Paul says that the challenge here is to portray the emotion of the subject or to tell a story, and one common thread through this and other genres is that the timing of the shot is critical. This can be a fleeting moment of light in the landscape, a moment of animal behaviour or the flash of emotion on a person’s face.
Paul’s photography has featured in many major publications, including the Sunday Times, The Telegraph, The Guardian, Practical Photography and Outdoor Photography. Unusually, he has been recognised and won awards in major photography competitions across very different genres: Wildlife Photographer of the Year, Landscape Photographer of the Year and Travel Photographer of the Year.
We look forward to welcoming Paul this evening to present his talk ‘The art of travel photography’, which promises to be a fantastic start to our Zoom programme of talks.
