Paul Biddle
Paul Biddle is an English fine art photographer, who specialises in creating carefully studied surreal artworks using real objects and studio lighting for artistic effects.[1] He has exhibited widely both in Britain and around the world. He has won at least 15 international photography prizes.[2][3][4]
Biddle describes his inspirations and influences as ranging "from Renaissance art to Dadaism and Surrealism, from Picasso to the flotsam and jetsam that I pick up on my walks by the sea near my home".[5]
