About Paul Wotton

Photography has been essential to my way of seeing the world for many years, as a powerful medium for expression and storytelling, a good creative outlet and an antidote to a career in clinical and academic veterinary medicine. My desire is to try to tell stories with photographic images, especially around the influence of past and present human activities on the landscape and the effects of natural forces, such as wind and water. I use digital and film-based media and work in monochrome, as I feel the form and texture of the subject are shown better without the distraction of colour. We photograph mainly in Scotland and live in rural Stirlingshire.
