Bio
Paul Bernhardt • Photographer and Writer
Paul Bernhardt is a British freelance photographer and writer based in Lisbon, Portugal.
He began his career as a press photographer in England, working for a quality daily newspaper covering hard news, sport and features. After relocating to Portugal he began to focus more on travel-related topics, winning commissions from international travel guide publishing houses including Dorling Kindersley and Lonely Planet.
A dedicated and self-motivated individual with the ability to produce accurate and engaging copy for print and online media – with good judgement in tailoring website content accordingly – Paul also possesses strong editing and fact-checking skills and can demonstrate the high levels of commitment required to meet the strictest of deadlines.
He is the sole author and co-photographer of Dorling Kindersley’s best-selling Eyewitness Travel guidebook Top 10 Azores and the well-established Top 10 Algarve guidebook—both included as category winners in the Top Guidebook Series in the Wanderlust Reader Travel Awards 2017.
In addition, Paul is contributing photographer for Lonely Planet’s Pocket Lisbon guidebook, and photographed the 1st edition of Time Out’s Lisbon City guidebook. He has also worked with Walk magazine, the in-house publication for Ramblers, and is a regular contributor to Ontario-based PlanetWare.com, compiling the Portugal pages for their travel section and shooting commissioned photography. More recently, he was commissioned as a member of the photographic team assigned to illustrate the Lisbon pages of the new Porter & Sail. digital concierge app.
An accomplished photographer, his work has been published in Traveller magazine (see Blog), The Daily Mail, Daily Telegraph, Financial Times and Sun newspapers, A Place in the Sun magazine, Travel Africa magazine and TNT magazine, among other UK publications.
