Paul Barson

Paul Barson is an award winning, internationally exhibited and published, self-taught, fine art photographer specializing in unique, dreamlike, magical, poetical and emotive floral portrait artworks.

Now living in Michigan, USA, Paul was born and raised in England. It was the natural beauty of the English countryside that inspired Paul and started him on his photographic journey as a young boy with a 110-film camera.

Over the years he has shot many different genres before discovering ‘macro’ and the ability of this genre to portray the ordinary and often unnoticed in their true glory and wonder.

He creates floral artwork unlike any others with his creative use of color, focus and primarily light/shadow combined into a unique style that was developed of some time and that he continues to refine and evolve.

With the use of a modest Canon DSLR and macro lens together with his processing technique, Paul gives each subject depth, beauty, soul, life and a story all of it’s own. Making the ordinary, extraordinary and unique.

Paul has recently been working more with conceptual photography which carries over the 'dark edge' from his floral work.

Paul’s work has been internationally exhibited and published, appeared in a number of magazines, received numerous awards and continues to be sold as fine art prints.
