Paul Westlake

I’m a British-born, Aussie-raised New Yorker who has been behind the camera since 1985, spending over three decades creating images that are as emotionally resonant as they are visually refined.

Internationally recognized for my evocative, light-driven imagery and quietly cinematic style, I’ve blended dreamlike surrealism with a razor-sharp fashion instinct throughout my career. My photographs helped define the visual language of both ELLE and Marie Claire in Australia and have since appeared in global editions of Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Esquire, Marie Claire, GQ, and ELLE.

I’ve had the privilege of creating campaigns for brands such as Giorgio Armani, Swarovski, Jaeger, Banana Republic, Coach, Marks & Spencer, Bloomingdale's, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Decléor, and photographing celebrated figures including Shakira, Yvonne Strahovski, Naomi Watts, Julie Taymor, Irina Shayk, Elle Macpherson, Miranda Kerr, Sarah Murdoch, Jasmine Guinness, Yasmin Le Bon, Alyssa Sutherland, and Teresa Palmer.

Today, I focus on portraiture and personal projects, including my ongoing editorial collaboration with Pan & The Dream, the award-winning art and style magazine. My recently released monograph, Postcards from a Dream, draws on more than 30 years of fashion work and personal archives—a meditation on stillness, beauty, and the way women are seen, with softness, strength, and emotional depth.
