About Paul Lovelace

Classically trained in photography, my career began in London where I worked as a contributing photographer for national newspapers, magazines, photo agencies, and PR companies. This editorial foundation taught me to work intuitively, efficiently, and creatively in a wide range of environments. After relocating, I continued my career as a staff photographer for a major publishing group before establishing my own photography business.

Today, I specialise in corporate and commercial photography while also pursuing my passion for fine art photography. When I’m not working on commissioned assignments, I focus on creating fine art images that reflect a more personal and artistic vision—often inspired by light, form, architecture, and landscape—and I’m now inspired to create wall art and fine art prints that people want to hang in their homes and offices.

Now more than ever, businesses rely on strong visual content to define their brand, tell their story, and connect with their audience. My commissioned work is widely used across websites, social media, brochures, catalogues, annual reports, editorial content, and advertising campaigns.

With over 30 years of experience, my work has been published globally and I bring the versatility of an editorial photographer to every assignment. Whether photographing executive portraits, large-scale events, lifestyle imagery or architectural subjects, I’m known for working efficiently and putting clients at ease in any situation.

One of my portraits of Andy Warhol received two Honourable Mentions in the International Photography Awards in the Editorial: Personality and People: Portrait categories. The portrait was also exhibited in Andy Warhol: Other Voices, Other Rooms at Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Moderna Museet Stockholm, and Hayward Gallery.

Two of my Warhol portraits were also published in a Post-War and Contemporary Art catalogue by Christie’s in the UK.

In 2023, Ordovas Gallery presented the exhibition Endless Variations, which explored the work and practice of two of the twentieth century’s most influential artists, Francis Bacon and Andy Warhol. Another of my portraits of Warhol was featured prominently across two pages in the catalogue introduction accompanying the exhibition.

My black-and-white photograph of the Wynyard Walk Tunnel canopy in Sydney was also selected as one of 20 finalists in the Soul of Your City photography competition, which aimed to showcase the essence of urban life from around the world.

Online print ordering and private gallery viewings are available through my website, offering convenience to both corporate clients and collectors of fine art photography.

It was the first and only self-portrait exhibition of Warhol’s career. Works from the exhibition are now held in the collections of the Tate, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Carnegie Museum of Art.
