Paul Hands
Creative Photographer, Filmmaker & Photography Educator
Hinckley, Leicestershire
I create photography and film rooted in observation, emotion, and craft — and teach others to do the same through immersive, in-person learning.
Through PH-ART-ED, I deliver structured photography workshops and private tuition for adults and young people, designed to build technical confidence, creative vision, and long-term independence behind the camera.
Alongside education, I work with couples, individuals, businesses, schools, and community organisations to produce thoughtful, story-driven photography and film — including documentary-style wedding coverage.
Documentary Wedding Photography
Commercial / Personal Projects and artwork
Your wedding day is a story — fleeting, unscripted, and entirely yours.
I document the day as it naturally unfolds, focusing on real moments, genuine emotion, and the quiet details that often go unnoticed. My approach is largely unobtrusive, allowing the day to breathe while I respond instinctively to what’s happening.
For couples who want a more guided or editorial approach, I’m one half of P&H Visionaries — a premium wedding photography and filmmaking service offering beautifully staged, directed imagery alongside documentary coverage.
In-person photography courses for adults and young people aged 11+.
From one-to-one tuition to small, immersive workshops, each session focuses on practical skills, visual awareness, and confidence behind the camera.
You’ll learn how to see light, understand composition, and make intentional images — not just how to use your camera.
All sessions are taught in person, at a pace that suits you.
I work across personal projects and commissioned commercial photography, exploring everything from long-term documentary series to brand-led visual work for organisations and businesses.
This space brings those worlds together — a curated collection of personal projects, creative experiments, and professional commercial work. Click through to explore individual projects, view case studies, and see how visual storytelling translates across different contexts.
