Born in England, Paul Morris moved with his family to Florida in his youth. His passion for creative expression found, and still finds, an outlet in fine art photography, and he has exhibited in numerous galleries around Florida. As a commercial photographer, Paul found a way to combine his love of the camera with making a living, and after graduating from the Art Institute in Ft. Lauderdale, he went on to apprentice with the early legends of the Miami photographic scene. In 1980, Paul established a studio in Miami Shores and was gaining a reputation as a detail-oriented shooter. He soon expanded to a warehouse in Miami, and added corporate and illustrative portraiture to his repertoire, along with daredevil aerial photography hanging out of a helicopter. By 1986, Paul was married to Jill Lippincott, and had established a studio in the Miami Design District to meet the needs of a burgeoning clientele that included numerous Miami ad agencies, publications, real estate developers, and corporate clients. He soon developed a reputation for his uncanny knack of setting CEOs and other high-level executives at ease, capturing them at their best in corporate portraits that are both original and expressive. Today, Paul and Jill work out of a state-of-the-art studio on West Dixie Highway in North Miami, with South Florida and national agencies and businesses. As South Florida’s economy has grown, there has been an increased need for images of Florida and the tropics not available through the big stock houses; in response, Paul and Jill, along with other photographers, created Miami Stock Photos, offering a stock photography library of the highest quality. American Society of Media Photographers, serving on its executive committee as well as being instrumental in creating the society’s web site. He still volunteers his time to the society. In addition, he continues to explore new avenues of photographic creativity, shooting remote locales in Britain and Europe as well as The Great Smoky Mountains and other American treasures closer to home. He also continues to be on the vanguard of combining primitive and advanced technologies, and is currently experimenting with the use of pinhole and Lomo cameras to capture images on film, which are then digitally manipulated to create one-of-a-kind works of art. |
