"If I was to describe myself as snappy then I would be referring to my choice in clothes rather than my photography!" "With a keen eye for detail coming from my design background, all of my work is carefully thought out and composed."

"My aim is to capture life and the world as I see it through my eyes... it's just a slice of life according to a guy named Paul!"


Bio

Born in Cuckfield in the Southeast of England, Paul Tupman is a successful Designer & Photographer who has been living and working as an Interior Designer in both Riyadh and Jeddah, Saudi Arabia since October 2001.

Paul first picked up a camera at a very early age, chronicling life as he grew up amongst his friends and family in the south of England. Following his love for the arts, he entered into Art College before shaping his career in the design world and graduating in 1997 with a First Class Degree in Furniture Design.

Beginning his career in the UK as a designer in Birmingham, Paul then moved to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to take up a new role in October, 2001.

In 2009, Paul took the position as Senior Interior Designer at a new office in Jeddah.


Photography was always a tool that Paul loved to go back to again and again during his studies, but it is only now, several years later and in a foreign land that he has shaped this passion into a more serious aspect of his life.

As a keen traveller and voyeur on all facets of life, Paul will turn his attention and camera to almost anything that comes his way. He has a particular passion for big wide open landscapes and grand architecture. But perhaps more than that, it is about capturing life and how it interacts within these surroundings.


Triathlon in a desert?

Stranger things have happened...

As a keen runner, cyclist and triathlete Paul also documented the sports clubs that he belonged to and participated in during his time in Riyadh – The Riyadh Tri Club, The Riyadh Wheelers and the Riyadh Road Runners

He began taking his camera to the races in place of his bike or runners after hearing the following from a fellow triathlete…

”...we are waiting to see if your action photos are as good as the sort you normally do. In case the rest of you haven’t seen them, Paul normally does the Arty / Farty stuff.”


Please contact Paul if you have any inquiries regarding his work or for further information regarding prints or commissions.
