Artist Study: Paul Octavious



Paul Octavious a graphic designer and artist working out of Chicago. He grew up in Connecticut and while in school for graphic design, he began to take photos as a hobby. After Instagram became popular is photography began to gain popularity.

He has a few series worth noting:


The Lean Series




The Hill Series




But the series me and my student really focused on was his Pantone Project. We are about to start a lesson on color themes in photography and what better why to show that then Octavious's fascinating Pantone paint chip work. Using an app created by Pantone(Which you can find here  https://www.pantone.com/studio) he find to color in an images and then holds the specific color in the photo.

I personally love how strait forward it is, and there is something very satisfying about seeing a specific color picked out and labeled in nature.

Tune in Later for the student examples to come.
