His interest in photography began during his studies at the\u00a0<strong>Epsom School of Art<\/strong>, where he discovered his talent and creativity. He then decided to pursue his\u00a0<strong>master\u2019s degree in \u201cPhotography in the Arts\u201d from Swansea Metropolitan University<\/strong>, which helped him further refine his skills.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 2011, Paul opened\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/theprintroom.kr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>The Print Room<\/strong>,<\/a> a studio and gallery in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where he\u00a0<strong>works and teaches photography<\/strong>. He also\u00a0curated and followed exhibitions of emerging photographers, helping them find their professional path. In 2020, Paul moved to Seoul, and in 2023 he opened The Print Room, a new space to continue his\u00a0<strong>artistic work and mentor<\/strong>\u00a0new photographers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Paul\u2019s works are created through a meticulous process that involves shooting on film, followed by\u00a0<strong>different mechanical interventions<\/strong>\u00a0such as scratches. The prints obtained are then further modified by the artist using various techniques, including the\u00a0<strong>ancient encaustic technique<\/strong>. These interventions result in\u00a0<strong>unique pieces<\/strong>\u00a0that tell his story, ranging\u00a0<strong>from humor to dark atmospheres<\/strong>\u00a0that are appreciated by\u00a0<strong>collectors and galleries worldwide<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Read complete bio <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.urbanphotoawards.com\/en\/paul-gadd\/\">here<\/a><\/span>.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><div class=\"su-spacer\" style=\"height:30px\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"rgg-container\" data-rgg-id=\"1\">    <div class=\"rgg-imagegrid captions-overlay-hover-show captions-effect-slide_up \" data-rgg-id=\"1\">\n                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.urbanphotoawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/1638356062307.jpeg\" data-rel=\"rgglightbox-gallery-0\" rel=\"rgg\"  class=\"rgg-disabled size-full rgg-img rl-gallery-link\"  data-src=\"https:\/\/www.urbanphotoawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/1638356062307.jpeg\" data-ratio=\"1\" data-height=\"800\" data-width=\"800\" aria-label=\"\" title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\">\n                <span class=\"rgg-caption-container\"><span class=\"rgg-caption\"><span class=\"rgg-inner-caption\">Paul Gadd -

The Zine category encourages you to explore beyond these boundaries, offering a platform for more extensive projects that capture the <strong>urban sprawl<\/strong> in all its complexity, without the commitment to a <strong>full book.<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Zines<\/strong> have emerged as a powerful medium for photographers to express their unique perspectives in a tangible, <strong>intimate format.<\/strong> This is your opportunity to weave your photographic tales into a zine that resonates with audiences far and wide. The author of the winning Zine will bask in a <strong>2-night stay for 2<\/strong> at Trieste Photo Days International Photography Festival. But that\u2019s not all, the winner will have the possibility to sell copies of the Zine, sharing her\/his vision with like-minded enthusiasts and collectors.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><div class=\"su-spacer\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>Submissions <\/strong>are open until <strong>June 16, 2024<\/strong> on <a href=\"http:\/\/my.dotlogic.net\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>my.dotlogic.net<\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><div class=\"su-spacer\" style=\"height:20px\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><div class=\"su-row\"><div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-2\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.urbanphotoawards.com\/rules-2024\/\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-flat su-button-wide\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#ff8207;border-color:#cc6806;border-radius:10px;-moz-border-radius:10px;-webkit-border-radius:10px\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;padding:8px 26px;font-size:20px;line-height:30px;border-color:#ffa852;border-radius:10px;-moz-border-radius:10px;-webkit-border-radius:10px;text-shadow:0px 0px 0px #d81d00;-moz-text-shadow:0px 0px 0px #d81d00;-webkit-text-shadow:0px 0px 0px #d81d00\"><i class=\"sui sui-file-o\" style=\"font-size:20px;color:#FFFFFF\"><\/i> RULES<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-2\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/my.dotlogic.net\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-flat su-button-wide\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#ff8207;border-color:#cc6806;border-radius:10px;-moz-border-radius:10px;-webkit-border-radius:10px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;padding:8px 26px;font-size:20px;line-height:30px;border-color:#ffa852;border-radius:10px;-moz-border-radius:10px;-webkit-border-radius:10px;text-shadow:0px 0px 0px #d81d00;-moz-text-shadow:0px 0px 0px #d81d00;-webkit-text-shadow:0px 0px 0px #d81d00\"><i class=\"sui sui-external-link\" style=\"font-size:20px;color:#FFFFFF\"><\/i> ENTER NOW<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0URBAN Book Award\u00a0section is dedicated to extended projects (\u201cdummies\u201d, sketches of photo books), ideal for photographers who feel the limit of 12 photos set for the Projects &amp; Portfolios section as a restraint.
