Paul Budde is an independent photographer currently based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Paul first kindled a love of photography as a freshman in high school, where he first learned black and white darkroom processing and printing techniques.

While attending UNC Greensboro in 2007, Paul worked as a photojournalist for the student newspaper The Carolinian. He would later go on to obtain his degree in Biocommunications Photography from Randolph Community College in 2011.

His product images have been featured in six firearm and hunting enthusiast magazines in six countries including the US, Canada, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK.

"As a photographer, I enjoy finding conscientious and detail-oriented, yet creative ways to merge the techniques and practices of both digital and analog photography to create wholly unique images."
