In February of 2022, I spent time photographing the frozen landscape of Saskatchewan, Canada. With temperatures well below -30, I would find these community churches, some still used, some abandoned. These buildings seemed frozen in time. Perfectly preserved. Waiting to be used again.

With a strong focus on composition, Paul Newton has been capturing images from around the world for several decades. His objective is to find the narrative in all of his work for the viewer to explore. Each image captures a mood, a story, or an experience. There is profound consideration for the distinct qualities of colour and black & white photography. Working with multiple techniques, escape is the underlying thread to all images. The fundamental photographic element is to transport the viewer to new places, both real and imaginary.
