Paul Harris is a world-renowned photographer who was the go-to for Hollywood’s A-list celebrities (and beyond) in the 1980s and 1990s. He counts Hunter S Thompson, Richard Nixon, Muhammed Ali, Carrie Fisher and the Williams sisters among the long list of icons who have trusted him to photograph their portrait.
But Paul is also a pioneering businessman who helped transform how photo agencies work, setting the digital template for how all agencies operate today.
Paul’s extraordinary story is about how a passion and love for photojournalism and a keen interest in emerging technology combined into a true trailblazing business success.
