Ahead of making new darkroom prints I’ve been archiving print stock.

These pictures were made whilst working on FRAGILE (2020-24) and The Fenland Trilogy ( 2009-19)
but were not included in the final series or books and are not represented by the galleries I work with.
“Paul Hart is a photographer interested in the slow harvesting of hidden truth from the ordinary places that most of us pass by. He works in an unfashionable idiom with slow cumbrous equipment (not just old-fashioned analogue photography, but medium format analogue photography, slower still) in an unfashionable place.
He seeks to find the bits of the land that speak their stories, and to transmit their importance in views in which, typically, the absolute lack of melodrama demands slow looking and brings slow revelation. Hart’s placid, formally peaceful landscape is pregnant with stories that lurk in the mud or the mist. His magic lies in soliciting from his viewers the same half-historical, half-romantic reaction to ploughed fields and straight drainage ditches as he has to them himself.”
Francis Hodgson (DRAINED, Dewi Lewis Publishing, 2018)
Hart is know as a leading printmaker and his photographs are held in important collections including the V&A Museum, the MoMA Library Collection and the Martin Parr Foundation. In 2024 the publication FRAGILE (2020-24) was nominated for the Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Prize 2025.
