About
I’m Paul Octavious, a photographer and digital artist in Chicago.
This is where the editions live. Every print is made to order, numbered, and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. When an edition closes, it closes — nothing here gets reprinted.
The one-offs stay in the studio. These are the ones I let go.
The current series
Property lines felt like an illusion to me as a kid. What did it mean to say, “That’s your land, and this is mine”?
Suburban Mirage comes out of growing up in the suburbs. Every neighborhood had its own layout — some an architect’s finest work, others revealing the grid beneath, built for order, repetition and ease. It’s an ode to the place that taught me what was real, what was make-believe, and how easily the two could blur.
The first piece is Summer Edition.
