Paul Hill #Photographe
Paul Hill was born in 1941 in the UK. Hill initially started as a freelance photo journalist and published his work in newspapers such as The Guardian and The Observer. Seemingly commonplace subject matter from Hill's own surroundings become emblematic, abstract portraits and still-lifes in his pictures. His daughter Sam is a frequent subject. In 1990, he was awarded a grant from the Royal Photographic Society and he has written several books on photography, including White Peak, Dark Peak (1990). Today, Paul Hill is a professor of Photography at the De Montfort University.

Photo50, the guest-curated annual showcase of contemporary photography, returns to the 25th London Art Fair at the Business Design Centre, Islington, from 16 – 20 January 2013.
Under the title "A Cyclical Poem", Nick Hackworth, Director of Paradise Row, questions the nature of historical change through 50 images by eight photojournalists and documentary photographers working between 1970 and the present day: Ian Beesley, Dorothy Bohm, Brian Griffin, Paul Hill, Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen, Marketa Luskacova and Chris Steele-Perkins and Homer Sykes. In some cases the works selected are the result of the photographer returning to the same or similar subjects over or after a long period of time. Others come from one period, but made in concert with the passing of time.
