ABOUT

Paul Brooking is a London-based director, photographer and designer with many years experience working in the advertising and music industries. He has received numerous awards with his work being shown at the Royal Academy, the National Portrait Gallery, Cannes, the Royal Photographic Society and D&AD.

His personal photographic projects, inspired by the Twentieth Century American realist painter Edward Hopper, explore subtle emotions and interplay between characters to create a cinematic narrative within a still image.

His recent photographic project and short film, Outside The Glasshouse about men’s mental health raised funds in support of suicide prevention charity Andy’s Man Club.
