About That Photo Guy
Paul Lewis Isemonger
Hey, I live in Tennessee. I have been here for three years, I moved from England with my wife Penny. We own a small homestead.
My photographic career started when I worked as a UK government scientist at The Grassland Research Institute in Hurley Berkshire England. Assisting in ground breaking stereo photography of crops for analysis of yield and health of grass crops in both infra red and UV.
I spent a number of years working for a management training centre photographing their management training events. Including companies such as Honda and KPMG.
Since 1994 I have been photographing historic reenactment professionally. I worked for four years for English Heritage Special Events unit in the UK. Covering their ‘History in Action’ major events across England at castles and historic houses.
For four years i photographed corporate events, weddings and social events across England, Scotland And Europe.
Three published photo-led books:
The English Civil War- A Living History
Wellingtons War- A Living History
The Fighting Man.
All published by Sutton Publishing. Now History Press.
I have also worked for television’s Time Team as the behind the scenes photographer. I also supplied the images for five chapters of Time Teams book ‘Ultimate Time Team Companion’ from series 7.
Other work includes:
War Horse (tv series) as technical photographer
Wellingborough City Council ‘Wellingborough at War’.
Horse and Hound

Defining the Moment
Pressing the button on a camera is easy. However, 40 years experience of choosing the exact moment to ‘press the button’ and where to be when you click makes the difference between a ‘snap’ and a truly memorable image. That is the reason for my logo, Defining the Moment, Whilst teaching college students photography I emphasized how important it is to know your subject, whether that is a horse or a shy ‘camera phobic’ human. Understanding them and their environment is the first step. Then learning to anticipate ‘the moment’ will ensure perfect photos, this only comes with years of experience. Of course lightning fast reaction to that moment is paramount. I learned my skills when all cameras were film and cameras were clunky. So instant reactions made the photo or you missed it by a mile if you hesitated for a fraction of a second. My hobby of Fencing (the sword waving type) helped enormously with reaction times.
