Paul Odulate

Akinyemi Paul Odulate is a street photographer based in Camberwell, with a passion for film photography born in Lagos, Nigeria. Arriving in London at the age of five, Paul has spent most of his life as a Londoner. Establishing C.I.M.E Lab; a business providing film and processing with the aim to make it more affordable and accessible.

Paul studied Graphic & Typographic Design at UAL London College of Communication, where he first developed an appreciation for photography. Working as a freelance designer gave him the opportunity to further develop his photography skills. This led to a new pathway seeking a career in commercial photography as a product photographer in the high end fashion industry. 

After several years working in this sector he would go on to realise that what he loved most about photography was people. That along with Covid isolation and the increased awareness of mental health heightened the thoughts of human connection. 

Paul’s style of street photography and street portraits focuses on London and its diverse and culturally rich inhabitants; a highly populated city with many types of social groups and yet loneliness is a subject that seems so rife, this being the main back story to his work.
