An exhibition to pay tribute to our veteran community and keep their stories alive. This project embraces the ripple effect of paying it forward.
Paul hopes that his acts of kindness in giving his time freely to capture images, and their backstories, will generate waves of goodwill throughout the community.
Intrigued? Come and be astounded by his portraits and the related inspirational memoirs.
The portraits in this exhibition all have a backstory and many are accompanied by short interviews conducted by Paul at the time of the photoshoots.
Everyone has an extraordinary story to tell.

“My priority is to create images that evoke a feeling. I’m not about creating happy snaps; the images must be meaningful and tell a story.” (Paul Saxby).
This is certainly the case with this collection.
