Sunset Over Widemouth Bay Paul Haddon Photography

Golden Hour Glory

This framed print captures a breathtaking sunset over Widemouth Bay in Cornwall. The sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky with a vibrant palette of oranges, yellows, and reds. Consequently, the colours are rich and intense, creating a truly stunning visual spectacle. The overall effect is one of warmth and serenity.

Coastal Calm

Gentle waves lap the shore, creating a rhythmic sound. Moreover, the sand reflects the sunset’s colours, adding to the scene’s beauty. In addition, the calmness of the sea contrasts beautifully with the vibrant sky. As a result, the image perfectly captures the tranquility of the Cornish coast.

The image is beautifully composed. Furthermore, the balance between sky and sea is perfect, leading the eye across the scene. The detail is excellent, capturing the texture of the sand and the movement of the waves. Ultimately, this print would be a beautiful addition to any home.

Paul Haddon Photography

Early Inspiration

At just 14 years old, Paul Haddon discovered his passion for photography when he picked up his dad’s film camera. He spent hours capturing moments with his best friend, Rebel, a German Shepherd. This newfound interest led Paul to enroll in a night school photography course, where he mastered both “O” and “A” level standards within two years.

Pursuit of Unusual Subjects

Paul has always had a fascination with photographing unusual subjects. He remembers haunting cemeteries during late hours, eager to capture that magical play of light on gravestones and churches, sometimes frightening himself in the process. Although work and family commitments temporarily halted his photography pursuits, the advent of digital photography rekindled his enthusiasm two decades later. He eagerly bought his first digital camera to explore the art form again.

Commercial Success and New Ventures

Paul’s first commercial success was a panoramic montage of the Back Beach in Teignmouth, which he sold in his restaurant. As demand for his framed photography grew, he ventured into the picture framing and Fine Art industries. This journey led to the creation of Haddon Galleries in Torquay.

Exploring the World

Today, Paul has the opportunity to travel to exotic locations, capturing an array of subjects from wildlife to street life and landscapes to seascapes. He finds endless amazement and inspiration in nature and the beauty of our world. Transitioning from film to digital photography has allowed Paul to pursue his passion with renewed vigor and creativity.
