'Some photographers take reality... and impose the domination of their own thought and spirit. Others come before reality more tenderly and a photograph to them is an instrument of love and revelation.' Ansel Adams

'I came into photography through a love of surfing and travel. I was fascinated watching light hit (and miss) the landscape and faces around me. This very personal engagement with making photographs evolved into a professional career that has spanned 30 years. During that time I've learnt that the very best, most memorable pictures have places that the light didn't reach. Or barely touched. For me, a picture isn't real until I can feel it - run my fingers across the paper flexing and holding it to the light. It is then, when it is tactile, that the confluence of light, shadow and emotion is fully and properly realised.' Paul Foley Paul invites you to read 'words for my pictures' - an ongoing series of short stories. The fictional passages are each inspired by a different image from his collection. He also encourages visitors to the site to suggest an image for his next story. Just follow the link in the menu bar. Images are also available as downloadable rights managed stock at Lightmoods
