Friday's Fabulous Flyer
Is an Aviation Photographer!
“Experience the Art of Flight”
“Living in Kimberley, I had more opportunities to take beautiful photographs than other photographers in my profession."
I'm going to have Paul take the photo for my next book cover!
“I have been told that I am mad using lenses like this… I choose this art form because it is so demanding to master. I know that few photographers will have it in them to pursue that direction of technology. Photographers love auto everything, on their cameras, because they don’t want to work for their photographs.”
Paul would most likely be considered a pioneer in his field with the use post production editing extensively to beautify his aviation art.
Paul sells his prints online and targets corporate or private individuals who want décor art for their business or studies.
More of his amazing photography can be viewed on his website: www.pauljob.com
Paul shared a story with me about the last photo in series. Now I know why he does what he does.
"This Pilatus
PC-12 is coming in to land was of AMS (Air Mercy Services) that operated
in Kimberley. They were an air medical service operating here in the
Northern Cape. I showed the photo to the pilot flying the aircraft the
next day and he had tears in his eye.
It was just such a powerful
photograph for him that he really got very emotional about it. I then
realized that I have a unique ability to really get an emotional going
in people, especially pilots, when they see these images. I hope to
improve on them and that I can continue to get people to love aviation
as I love it, that is why my company slogan is:
“Experience the Art of Flight”
Which is your favorite photo?
It's hard to decide... but maybe the first one for me. But then I love the plane flying into the sunset. Reality is, I love them all. They are truly powerful. Excellent job Paul!
Enjoy the Journey!
