Through the Eyes of Paul

Paul Somerville, Jr. discovered his life's craft behind the counter of a neighborhood photography store. Surrounded by cameras, lenses, and the endless stream of images passing through his hands, he taught himself to see the way only master photographers can by reading light, anticipating the moment, and knowing exactly when a fleeting second becomes a lasting memory. That everyday apprenticeship made him a true photography mastermind: a master of composition and timing who captured the moments for which words alone could not suffice. From family gatherings to quiet scenes of everyday joy, Paul had a gift for turning the ordinary into the unforgettable.
