Life

In 1968 Paul decided to start a career as a reporter. The movie Blow Up was an incentive for him . He graduated from elementary school and learned the trade of a photo lab technician . Then he went to sea for a year and hitchhiked across the United States. Later he worked in South America, including in a steel factory in Venezuela . He also worked in a kibbutz in Israel and in copper mines in the Negev desert. Back in Germany he prepared revelatory stories for tabloids. He left Germany, but returned in the mid-1990s. He managed to get photos of Michael Schumacher and from Peter Graf's prison cell . The large sums of money for such photos of celebrities made him finally take up the profession of paparazzi. Paul has lived in Los Angeles since 1998 , where he took photos of Hollywood stars and other celebrities. Today he works in Sydney, Australia . He is the owner of a photo agency and employs photographers worldwide. In 2014, during a paparazzo mission against Herbert Grönemeyer commissioned by Paul, physical arguments broke out between the two photographers and the Grönemeyers family.
