Paul studied anthropology as an undergraduate and worked for several years as a Forest Service archaeologist in Arizona and Southeast Alaska before starting his photography career. One of his earliest expeditions was an 800-mile solo sea kayaking trip through the Inside Passage from Alaska to Seattle.

Working professionally for the past twenty-five years, Paul's images are recognized for their minimal and graphic compositions with an emphasis on line, form, shape and color. He is known primarily as a landscape photographer of the American West, and is drawn towards the places where humans and the natural environment intersect. An avid outdoorsman, Paul lives in Seattle, but is equally at home in the wilderness.
