ABOUT
Paul Bettings has been capturing social, cultural and geo-political issues through his camera for more than 15 years. His commitment to the visual art of photography is based on a philosophy of relational and intimate storytelling, with honesty and sensitivity.
Throughout his career, assignments have taken him around the globe and allowed him to photograph for newswires and organizations such as World Vision, UNICEF, Save The Children and more. Through his work, Paul has had the opportunity to photograph in the deserts, rivers, mountains and jungles of our amazing planet. In all these spaces, Paul enjoys creative expression, storytelling and advocating on behalf of others.
