Paul prefers monochrome images and still uses his Rolleiflex medium format camera as well as his Nikon F 35mm and Speed Graphic 5 x 4 cameras which he used to photograph The Beatles and other rock legends in the 60’s. Paul particular likes the grain produced by film which he says gives the subject a more appealing and natural look.
