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.〔Susan Roddick Bloom. ''Digital Painting in Photoshop.'' Focal Press, 2009. ISBN 978-0-240-81114-7. Chapter 3 ''Inspiration''. ''Digital Artists and Their Work''. Pages 32-35. Available from Google Books at http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=4HK-9zZDfzYC&pg=PA32&dq=%22Paul+Biddle%22+photographer&hl=en&ei=NQN2TpejNcua0QW7r6iXCA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CDEQ6AEwAA〕 He has exhibited widely both in Britain and around the world. He has won at least 15 international photography prizes.〔http://www.public-republic.net/paul-biddle-artist-of-the-week.php/〕〔http://www.paulbiddle.com〕 According to ''Visual Reviews'', "some of his photos genuinely look like paintings. If he were a painter, he would be painting the Surrealism of () Dalí and his contemporaries".〔Visual Reviews, May 18, 2011. Photographer Review - Paul Biddle. http://antmansbigxmas.wordpress.com/2011/05/18/visual-review-2-photographer-review-paul-biddle/〕 Artist Natalie Mayer considers that Biddle's work makes "a clear reference to the surrealist painters"; she discusses one of his works ''British Food'', a collage of a heavily weathered wooden door, on which is placed half of a bowler hat, and a face made of two eggs, a wedge of Stilton cheese, and a fish for a mouth; below this is a part of a collar and a tie, on which rest three carrots. Mayer writes that this "instantly makes me think of (century surrealist painter ) René Magritte, it () the objects and colour".〔Paul Biddle, Open Brief 2011, http://sailornattie2.wordpress.com/2011/04/01/paul-biddle (with photographs)〕 Biddle himself writes of his work: "My inspiration and influences range 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".〔Paul Biddle's website, Info page, downloaded 19 September 2011, http://www.paulbiddle.com/site/info.html〕 ==Awards== * The Association of Photographers: 1 Gold, 2 Merits.〔Exhibition Catalogue, The Association of Photographers Sixth Awards.
