In The Fog with Paul Phung

Finishing his studies at Leeds College of Art, Paul Phung is a unique talent who will no doubt find high profile commissions commonplace in the coming months, thanks to his brooding, documentary style images that evoke intrigue and emotion.

His photos feature, along with a stream of experimental photography, two key themes.

Firstly his eerily atmospheric “night and smoke project”, a series of images for which Phung was largely inspired by music.

And in particular the “dark ambient and drowning sounds” of punishing post-metal experimentalist’s Sunn.

The images are dark, mysterious portraits with a claustrophobic sense of impending doom.
