About this artwork

Although most of my prints are unique and differ to the next I still like to have a limited run. There were three "Waiting for purgatory" originally printed, this one which is meant to be of an edition of five, the master print which I keep, and then there are the test prints where I play around with toners and bleach. Editions 2, 3, 4 & 5 have yet to be printed.
It would be impossible to copy the first print due to the amount of manipulation during… the bleaching process this is why each work is unique. However, I do not intend to keep printing the same image, so I create a numbered edition.

Paul Gadd is a British photographer based in Seoul, deeply rooted in classical film photography and darkroom printing, with extensive experience in fashion, portraiture, and documentary work. His technique is hands-on and experimental—scratching and toning negatives, applying mixed-media during hand-printing, and finishing with processes like bleaching or encaustic, making each print a unique original. Through his evocative images, Paul channels his personal experiences and surroundings, conveying a rich tapestry of emotions—from melancholy and anger to humour and love—inviting viewers to deeply connect with his evolving visual narratives.
