Paul Octavious is a photographer, designer, and storyteller with a unique point of view and talent for using ordinary objects to create something new and interesting. Octavious lives in Chicago and works in a round studio in the city’s Uptown neighborhood, right off the city’s red line. His career began back in 2005 while living and taking care of his grandfather where he created a Flickr account and began photographing things because he didn’t have a model, which eventually made his work progressively interesting and unique. He spent that year building his portfolio and in 2007 moved to Chicago to work as a photographer at Threadless. In 2008, Paul left his full-time gig and started freelancing. Getting out of the office allowed him time to be more prolific, sell his prints online, and document daily finds on Instagram. During that time is when he tried to be as creative as possible and later created the “Puffin Clouds.”
