Paul Biddle is an English fine art photographer, who specialises in creating carefully studied surreal artworks using real objects and studio lighting for artistic effects. He has exhibited widely both in Britain and around the world. He has won at least 15 international photography prizes.
Biddle describes his inspirations and influences as ranging "from Renaissance art to Dadaism and Surrealism, from Picasso to the flotsam and jetsam that I pick up on my walks by the sea near my home".
