In his latest project Transition, Paul explores the complexities of teenage identity. While observing a group of street dancers and free runners in a small town in South West England, he felt compelled to record the moment, then spent nearly two years documenting his observations. “As the project evolved I became interested in the period of transition between teenage years and adulthood.. the more subtle ‘in-between’ moments caught my attention, hence the title.”
Transition acknowledges that the search for freewill isn’t solely the preserve of teenagers. Like the performers, Paul was equally drawn to a willingness to experiment and take chances in the images he produced. “I wanted the images to represent uncertainty about what was happening or what might happen next. This uncertainty reflects how I felt personally about events in my own life at the time.”
