Paul Yule

Paul Harris Yule is a photojournalist and film maker. In addition to his photography, he has directed more than 30 films on six continents, often on controversial political and social themes, several of which have won major awards (International Emmy,Royal Television Society,Edward Morrow Prize,Amnesty International Prize, etc.) He founded the production company Berwick Universal Pictures in London in 1980.

Paul Yule was born in Johannesburg, South Africa and his family emigrated to England when he was 8 years old. He went to Aldenham School and then studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) at Oxford University.

His first outlet for photojournalism was while at University working for the magazine Isis, and documenting the early theatre work of contemporaries Rowan Atkinson, Richard Curtis and others of that generation. After leaving Oxford he formed Berwick Universal Pictures with Chris Plytas, working from a basement studio in Berwick Street. In 1980 he did the photography for Rowan Atkinson's Live in Belfast album and, following several visits to Peru, his book "The New Incas" (with an Introduction by John Hemming) was published in 1983 by The New Pyramid Press and exhibited widely.

Photography in Peru became the subject of his first documentary film, 'Martin Chambi and the Heirs of the Incas' (1986), made for the BBC's Arena strand, which depicts the life, times, and contemporary relevance of that great Cusqueña photographer of the early 20th century. This was the first of half a dozen documentaries Yule made in Peru over the next two decades, and the start of an award-winning collaboration with the Producer Andy Harries.
