Paul Pacey
Paul Pacey (www.paulpacey.com) is a photographer based in Prague. His work blends elements of Abstract, Impressionism, and Photo-journalism on a canvas of movement and emotion. Much in the same way a painter might approach his brush, Paul uses his lens in a similar fashion, incorporating movement as strokes, and focusing less on what the eye can perceive in favor for what it cannot. Paul has recently opened a new art gallery and photo studio in Prague aimed towards supporting the rich bed of talent Prague has to offer, along with giving emerging artists a platform to grow.
