Pickard Paul
Photographer in Stafford, Staffordshire
I started my career photographing bands and musicians such as the The Stone Roses, Paul Weller and Coldplay - my pictures were often seen in publications such as the NME, Q and The Guardian. My work then took me into the newsrooms of the National and Regional press, where I photographed some key historical events, including State visits and Royal Weddings. I photographed major sporting events such as the Commonwealth Games and Wembley Cup Finals.
