Paul Gilbert
Paul has been an environmental photographer for 25 years, travelling
extensively throughout North America for up to 8 months a year.
Over the past decade Paul's focus has been on wildflower and "flowerscape"
photography, as he feels that flowers add a vital energy to landscape
images. He enjoys exploring a variety of perspectives in his wildflower
photographs, from intimate close-ups of a single bloom, to portraits
of a plant in its local milieu, to big landscapes coloured with
a kaleidoscope of wildflowers. Luminous images are the essence of
Paul's photography. Due to the serendipitous nature of light on
the landscape, Paul employs lightweight 35mm film cameras, moving
swiftly on foot or mountain bike in pursuit of dynamic images.
Paul's images have been published in calendars, posters, audiovisual
programs and books such as "The Last Wilderness". Many
of his photographs have been purchased for private and corporate
collections, and he has produced two books that showcase his images:
"West Coast Impressions - The Dynamic British Columbia Landscape"
and "Wild Colours - Canada's Rocky Mountain Wildflowers".
His current work-in-progress is "Caressed by Light - Wildflowers
of Western North America".
