There are two types of creatives; There are those who defy conventions, and revolutionise through an open mind and an empty book. Then there's the expert / professional type, who know their history, and who advance their medium using knowledge and experience.

From ad-hoc creative work to following a strict brief, my goal has always been to achieve the most professional outcome as possible, while embodying both of these ideals.

In the highly saturated industry of visual media and art, I strive to bring originality and flair to all jobs I am assigned.

I have had the privilege of a diverse client base, from London-based shirt makers, Emmett, to a worldwide corporation, 3M™. Having such clients has been invaluable - these opportunities have enabled me to develop an extremely valuable and diverse skill set, and also a clear understanding of client relationships.

Apart from being fully versed in professional video & imaging softwares such as Final Cut Pro and Adobe Photoshop, I am well-practiced in many techniques such as Chroma-keying (green-screen), Color Grading, Photo-manipulation, studio photography and video shooting.
Directing, cinematography, brainstorming and decision-making are all key parts to my work, and they run confluent with all the skills listed.

I am always looking to further my skills professionally, further my client list and create work to the best of my ability.

Available for creative & corporate work, as well as collaborative projects.
About Paris

"His vision of the human form is nothing short of spellbinding. What he envisions and puts into reality compromises of such beauty and purity, yet provokes thought and discussion, furthering the gravity of his work."
"Paris Seawell is definitely one to keep an eye on, as his creativity blossoms, we are sure that there will be more outstanding works to come…"

"Paris Seawell can be counted on for his continuing vision of the uncommon and unspoken. An artist unafraid to show what is typically hidden both inside and out…"
"His goals are not only to get us to view the body differently, but to think."
