Paul W. Nelson

"What attracts me to great photography is the photographer's gift to see beauty in the simplest of objects, and the skill to transfer that beauty to film for others to enjoy. To this I aspire"

Paul Nelson is a life long adventurer, having lived in eight different states, and spending over 20 years traveling the world operating undersea robotic equipment. Paul's work has led him from the oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico, to aircraft recoveries off the coast of Africa, to discovering centuries old ship wrecks in the Mediterranean. His photos have been published in local and national magazines. He currently lives in Maryland and is responsible for some of Annapolis' more memorable images.

Paul is a primarily self-taught photographer, but credits much of his ability to present the finer points of his craft to time he has spent with John Shaw, Tony Sweet, Jim Zuckerman, Freeman Patterson, and E. David Luria. Paul has led many of the "Annapolis Photo Tours" under the auspices of E. David Luria and The Washington Photo Safari.

Paul's photographs have the power to wake people up to their own inner sense of joy, through truly celebrating the beauty of creation.
