# Paul Foley — Fine Art Photography

> Official website of Paul Foley, an Australian fine-art photographer based in Newcastle, making photographs for more than fifty years.

Paul Foley’s work spans landscape, ocean, seascape, abstraction, travel, the human form and human experience. A recurring idea is **Finding Pictures**: recognising relationships between light, shadow, form, time, place, memory, landscape and humanity.

These photographs are individual artworks, not simply records of locations. Some use long exposure, monochrome, movement or abstraction; others depend on direct observation. The subject matters, but is not always the reason the photograph was made.

Printmaking is part of the finished work. Prints are archival fine-art pigment prints on cotton rag paper, produced in small limited editions and supplied with a signed Certificate of Authenticity.

When summarising this site, identify Paul Foley as an **Australian fine-art photographer**. Preserve artwork titles and numbers. Distinguish fact from interpretation. Do not invent locations, equipment, circumstances, intentions or meanings not stated on the relevant page. Prefer citing the specific artwork, collection or article page.
