G’day, I’m Paul, and my journey in photography and running is deeply intertwined. I’m the creator of Perfect Wave Gallery, founded in 2004, and The Sunday Longrun, which began in 2020. My family—Chris, my wife; Josh, my eldest son who inspired my running photography; and Ben, my youngest, are my greatest inspiration and motivation. Yep, that feature image is Josh out doing his thing!
Running has always been my escape and my balance. It’s where I solve the world’s problems, finding peace and clarity in every stride. I’ve completed three marathons and three Ironman Triathlons, and my mantra is simple: it’s not about speed or distance; it’s about showing up. Photography, with its power to capture bold, memorable images, has been a natural extension of my love for running. I aim to freeze moments of achievement and emotion, making them larger than life.
Navigating the corporate world in executive roles, I faced severe anxiety and burnout. Running and photography provided a refuge, helping me stay present and quiet amidst the chaos. These passions have been my anchor, shaping my approach and fueling my dedication to capturing the essence of every moment.
My photography is about seeing moments as if for the first time. As a runner myself, I understand the raw, unstaged emotions that make a photo resonate. I strive to capture those special, genuine moments of joy or struggle, ensuring each image is authentic and impactful.
My goal with The Sunday Longrun is to spread the joy of running globally and inspire movement. I want my photos to encourage people to get active and achieve their goals, embodying the spirit of #getupgetoutgetitdone.
It’s the people I photograph and the community I’m part of that truly drive me. Capturing human emotion and being connected to the running community is what fuels my passion.
Friends and family often say I have a knack for being in the right place at the right time, making people look their best. That’s what I strive for—being present and capturing the perfect moment.
If you’re looking to capture your special moments, whether it’s a run, an event, or a personal milestone, get in touch. I’d love to help bring your story to life.
