Paul is Everywhere

Paul is Everywhere represents the collections of international award winning photographer Paul McDermott.

Paul depicts the art of the human experience through observation and interaction with the world. He explores the planet to capture simple yet profound moments that create immersive experiences for viewers. His works transport the viewer to a specific moment in time and provide an opportunity for awareness and presence.

Paul has been a photographer since the age of 14. He spent his teen years in photo labs and continued his pursuit of technical photography skills in a BFA program in college. Post college Paul worked with some of the worlds top studios and evolved his photography while simultaneously creating his personal projects. Everything has influenced the impact he delivers in his fine art imagery today.

Paul received numerous acknowledgments for his work, including the 2021 Spectrum Spotlight Award during Miami Art Week, the 2020 Silver Award for WPE Photographers International Competition, two National Exhibit Merit Awards from Professional Photographers of America in 2018, two in 2017, two in 2015, and three in 2014. He was published internationally in the 2014 Loan Collection Book and earned Two Loan Collection Awards in that competition. Other awards include the 2008 Ocean City Arts Center “Best in Show” award and the 2005 Scholastic Art Awards “Portfolio Gold Key Award.” Paul’s greatest personal artistic honor was replacing Peter Lik’s photography on Lik’s personal yacht, Stealth, after the new owners discovered Paul’s work and, in 2021, he also became a contributor featured by Hasselblad.

Paul’s “pandemic pivot” from a successful commercial photography career led to launching Paul is Everywhere in early 2021. Throughout 2020, while participating in numerous exhibitions, he transitioned to fine art full-time. The Paul is Everywhere brand continues to expand territories as demand for Paul’s work continues to grow.
