Ancient Guardian Paul Haddon Photography

Whispers of Autumn

This breath taking image captures the essence of autumn. A moss-covered ancient oak dominates the foreground, its gnarled branches reaching towards a crystal-clear stream. The autumnal colours are vividly displayed. Moreover, the colours create a stunning backdrop.

Serene Flow

The stream flows gently over smooth rocks, creating a sense of tranquillity. Meanwhile, the water’s motion is captured beautifully. Consequently, the overall scene is serene and calming.

A Tapestry of Nature

Furthermore, the photograph displays a harmonious blend of textures and colours. The vibrant yellows and oranges of the autumn leaves contrast beautifully with the deep greens of the moss and the darker browns of the rocks and tree bark. Finally, the image is stunning in its simplicity and complexity.

Timeless Beauty

Ancient Guardian by Paul Haddon evokes a feeling of timelessness. The scene is so peaceful and evocative of the beauty of nature. This image is perfect for anyone seeking to add a touch of natural beauty to their home or office.

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.
