Paul Veron's art focuses on the beauty, grace and intrigue of the female nude; a subject which has fascinated and drawn artists like moths to the flame in every discipline for millennia.
Paul named his photographic enterprise Amazilia Photography after a genus of hummingbirds native to Peru and Ecuador. The name was chosen because Paul finds hummingbirds to be one of the most beautiful and inspiring natural wonders of the world. Such radiance, strength, independence, fortitude and beauty as possessed by these avian jewels are also seen in women, and it these virtues (amongst others) that Paul is always looking to depict in his work.
Paul focuses his work in two core areas of people photography – fine art nudes (including bodyscapes), and nudes in nature. While some of his most well-known works are in the first genre, his recent projects and sales have focused on nudes in the natural environment, where Paul is always trying to depict a sense of the deep-rooted, intrinsic connection between people and the natural world.
This true sense of belonging in, and being an integral part of, the natural world has always been very important in Paul’s life. This made writing the narrative for his first monograph (Rewilding the Human Spirit) both cathartic and an essential release of a story that had been distilling in his head for decades.
He is an internationally published photographer with several print publications, who has recently won the Runner- Up Photographer of the Year position with an international magazine, as well as achieving success in several global fine art photographic competitions. He holds Distinctions in both Foundation and Advanced Photography Diplomas.
He has also exhibited work at juried international shows in Hamburg, Lisbon, London, Miami, Milan, and Seattle. Most recently he held a successful solo photographic exhibition in the international LePassage Gallery in the Channel Islands.
With a growing interest in his work from serious art collectors, Paul is now producing a restricted range of Limited Edition Signed Prints (all supplied with Certificates of Authenticity), aimed at serious art collectors, as well as continuing to combine his writing and photography skills through a series of monographs.
