Oxford-based photographer, Paddy Summerfield, trained at Guildford School of Art in the Photography and the Film departments. Pictures he took in 1967, when he was still a first year student, were later published in Album *1, and pictures published in Creative Camera received recognition for his expressive and psychological approach. He has spent a life-time making personal photographic documents, and teaching and running work-shops, as well as undertaking commissions.

He started exhibiting in London in the late sixties, and his work has been shown since in other London galleries, including the ICA Gallery, The Barbican, The Serpentine Gallery, and The Photographers' Gallery. In 1976, Sir Nicholas Serota (when he was director of the Museum of Modern Art, Oxford) invited Summerfield to exhibit Beneath The Dreaming Spires, his first oneman show. Several Arts Council awards assisted his career.
