01 / The artist

Paul Octavious.

I’m Paul, a creative artist in Chicago. I make photographs, digital pictures, and things that turn an ordinary day into something a little unexpected.

A curious eye.
A lot of different hats.

My work moves between photography, image-making, and play. I follow an idea wherever it wants to go—from a picture to an object to a little world on a screen.

This is the personal side of what I do. For commissioned photography and creative direction, visit Studio. For the apps we’re building, meet CRIBB.
