No title (Portrett av Tom Sandberg), 1970-tallet

Born in 1941 in Ludlow, Shropshire, Paul Hill worked as a newspaper reporter from the late 1950s until he became a freelance photographer in 1965. He became a full-time lecturer in photography at Trent Polytechnic, Nottingham in 1974 where he was later appointed head of the Creative Photography course, the forerunner to all current student-centred higher education courses in the medium. Another notable achievement around this time was the establishment, with his wife, Angela, of The Photographers’ Place – the UK’s first residential photography workshop - at their Peak District home. He has exhibited regularly all over the world since 1970 and has had a major influence on contemporary British photography. Hill was Tom Sandberg’s tutor while in England in the 1970s. http://www.hillonphotography.co.uk/index.php
