Director.
Fashion films & commercials.

Dera Paul is a director working mostly in fashion films and commercials. His work moves between the noise of a night out and the quiet of a coastline, with a close eye for texture: silver against skin, a leather jacket under club lights, a suitcase rolling over City stone. The product is always part of the story, never pasted on top of it.
