This may not resonate with many here on the forum, but I used to know Paul well – haven’t had contact for some time, but years back I oversaw the printing of his Sarajevo book in Beirut as well as doing some other general pre-press work for him. He also invited me back to the LCP a few times to teach Photoshop to the students at the time.
At the LCP (London College of Printing when I did post grad Photojournalism, now the London College of Communication) or elsewhere…?
Paul took over the course from Patrick Sutherland (who was head when I attended) and got me in to do a few short things…
But more than that, when I was an aspiring photojournalist myself and he was at Magnum etc he was an inspiration….To become a friend in later years and also work for him was an honour. Really nice guy.
I’m gutted to be honest and a tragic waste.
Sadly, he joins some others from the scene I knew and lived within in London that are no longer here, including close friends Tom Stoddart and PJG, who I miss dearly….
