About Paul Owens

My family moved from Ohio to South Florida when I was 10 years old. Left to my own devices, I spent most of my free time exploring beaches, fishing, and generally reveling in the beauty of Florida. Following high school I spent 4 years in the Navy and really did 'see the world'. After a full-time career in engineering, I retired to pursue my true love - photography.
I love the moodiness and intensity of B/W photography and feel that it often brings out the true nature of a scene. The play of light and shadow is what draws me to take a photo. I get lost in the moment and want to preserve it forever.
Color work affects me differently than Black/White. Some scenes just lend themselves to that medium. Themes and feelings and natural beauty can often be expressed more accurately and vividly in color.
I photograph with an eye to textures in nature and in the "real world'. The textures draw out a mood and give rise to the contemplation of life. After living in South Florida for many years, I moved to Central Florida in 1999. My work reflects not only my love of Florida's nature and history, but also the beauty of places I have visited.
I have been a member of Gallery One Artists,
a co-op art gallery, consisting of more than 20 local artists.
