Paul Kotsoglo is a photographer and qualified urban planner based in Australia.

Paul’s first camera was delivered by Father Christmas. It was the mid 1970s and the camera was an Agfa ISO PAK C.

At the time, film came in cartridges and was sent off to be developed. People stood to attention when photographed. It took many weeks to get the 12 or 24 pictures you had shot, back from the developer. Many of them half shots and misses. If you were lucky you’d get a few gems. For Paul, many of these are still in a box at his parents place today.

Subsequent camera gear has included Sigma, Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, Hasselblad and Leica. All equipment is purchased from local stores to support the local economy and those who put back in to the community, both professionally and economically.

A career in urban planning exposed Paul to the world of the natural and built environments, urban landscape and architecture.

A strong passion for observing the world’s beauty in its many forms, and the continuing urge to produce photographs has driven Paul’s desire to learn more about, and to produce photographs today.

Working to understand composition, light, technology and techniques have marked the next phase of Paul’s photographic journey. Documentation of local and exotic locations, and the excitement of capturing the landscape, wildlife, architecture and people have underpinned Paul’s work. More recently, structured study arrangements with some of Australia’s greatest photographic talents has seen further development in his projects and photography.

With a move from digital back to analogue the journey continues.
