Firstly, thanks for visiting, I appreciate your taking time out to look at my profile. If you made it this far, I hope you will take a few minutes to look through my work.

I have been taking photos a long time now, and am still learning every day.

I am an Englishman and lived in the USA for 10 years variously in Ohio, Oregon and Virginia but am presently on a 3 year expat assignment in India. At the time of writing I have lived this magnificent country for a year and it really is Incredible India and am looking forward to making many more images of the wonders and charms of this place..


I'm an admirer of Ansel Adams. What he produced was not what he saw but it was what he thought.

I also like elephant jokes, so if you know any, let me at them!!!

How do you get down from an elephant?

You don't. You get down from a duck.

Why do elephants paint the bottom of their feet yellow?

So they can hide upside down in a bowl of custard.

Ever seen an elephant in a bowl of custard?

Great camouflage.

    "Paul is the most talented photographer I know. He has both the technical talent to take great photographs, and the artist's ability to communicate through his work. While his still life photography is his specialty, I haven't seen any genre he doesn’t do exceptionally well.

    Besides his obvious talent, Paul is an incredibly good guy with a great sense of humor. I count him as a friend, and consider myself lucky do so! Keep up the good work, my friend."

    "A man with a wonderful eye for beauty and light. An artist.

    God created flowers and Chesil made them even more beautiful with his camera."

    "Chesil provides some of the nicest macro photography I've seen for a long time. He makes excellent use of soft lighting in his flower shots and has the extraordinary ability to turn even the most mundane of subjects - such as the zipper on a pair of jeans - into a work of art!"
