Paul Cyr Photography

Paul Cyr Photography Paul Cyr grew up on a potato farm in the northern Maine town of Hamlin. Paul’s favorite type of photograph was (and still is) farm aerials.

He started taking pictures in the early 1960s with a Kodak Instamatic camera, and photography soon became his lifelong hobby. Over the next decade or so, Paul took a few hundred aerials of local farms. Many of those photographs still exist, hanging on farmhouse walls. After moving to Presque Isle in 1976, Paul’s photography took a back seat to his commitment to the family healthcare business; deve

lopment of rental properties; and the creation of a patented snowmobile component which he manufactured for 25 years. Paul now has more time to devote to his hobby and spends time each week looking for new photographic opportunities. Ninety-nine percent of his photographs are taken in northern Maine, most within 10 miles of his home. All his are one-shot takes, no composites or any other special effects. His inventory of photographs is measured in the tens of thousands and many are used by dozens of northern Maine towns and businesses for websites, report covers, tourist guides, and brochures, to mention a few. People may also find Paul’s photographs featured prominently by the local media and Bangor Daily News, as well as Barcraft Media (London), Boston Globe, Down East, Maine Boats, Homes & Harbors, Mirror (London), Plain Communities Business Exchange, Scholastic, Wiser Living, Yankee, and more. Paul’s work was featured twice on WCHS News Center’s Bill Green’s Maine show. Down East Books published two books exclusively featuring Paul’s photographs: Uses for Mooses (2017) and Bears Behaving Badly (2016); and included Paul’s photographs in Maine Life in a Day (2017). In 2014, Paul and local author Dottie Hutchins published ACADIAN ROOTS: Images of the St. John Valley to commemorate the World Acadian Congress. All can be found at amazon.com.
