Outer Harbour Torquay
Moonlit Marina
This captivating framed print depicts Torquay’s Outer Harbour under a serene moonlight. The image is a stunning monochrome composition, showcasing the harbour’s tranquil beauty. A full moon hangs high in the sky, casting a soft glow on the scene.
Tranquil Waters
The calm water mirrors the buildings and boats, creating a double image effect. This adds a unique depth and symmetry to the picture. Moreover, the reflection intensifies the sense of peace and quiet. Consequently, the image has an almost ethereal quality. The detail in the reflection is impressive.
Coastal Charm
A walkway stretches across the foreground, leading the eye towards the town’s buildings. In addition, numerous boats lie peacefully in the harbour. Meanwhile, the architecture of Torquay is visible in the background. As a result, the image successfully captures the essence of the town’s coastal charm. Above all, it’s an evocative and elegant piece.
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.
