I worked with Paul recently as part of my studio weekend at Inspire Studios. Paul was a real pleasure to work with, with plenty of ideas but also open to suggestions from my end. Really professional, easy-going and a great photographer - the pictures we got together really speak for themselves.

Would love to work with him again, and highly recommend!

Had another fab shoot with Paul in Bristol last weekend.

We did some styles that were very new (and a bit scary!) to me, but Paul was great the whole time, super patient and reassuring.

We listened to an absolutely banging playlist which set a great vibe!

Always a pleasure to shoot with, I highly recommend Paul and his wonderful skills with a camera :)

What a fantastic 4 hours spent with Paul.

Precomms before the shoot were spot on, with lots of planning and 4 main types of photos we wanted to

work on. During the shoot I felt completely comfortable working with Paul for boudoir and art

nude set ups.

For me the most important thing was we had a laugh during it, whilst creating some rather wonderful

photos. Paul caught not only the new modeling side, but also my natural and silly side of me.

Would 100% work again and suggest if you get the opportunity to jump at the chance to work with him too

I had the pleasure of meeting Paul at my studio day at F/8 and what a great shoot it was!

We worked from fashion up to art nude and Paul had lots of creative ideas himself and some new equipment to work with.

I was comfortable from the get go and Paul is a joy to be around aswell as being professional throughout the shoot.

His talent for photography shows while he works and final images. Really happy with what we created. Hope to work together again in the future and highly recommended! :)

It was a pleasure to work with Paul for the first time last Sunday at Inspire studios.

Paul had messaged me in advanced to say hello and go over a few ideas for the shoot.

Paul was lovely to work with, respectful, easy going and the shoot just flowed really well.

Paul is a great photographer and he is good with his lighting, I am very pleased with the shoot and I hope to work with Paul again next year.

First time Paul has visited Inspire and it was on Carla Monaco's studio day. Although he was only here for a couple of hours it was easy to see what a lovely chap he was, very easy to get on with and clearly enjoys his photography. He was great with Carla and very respectful of the studio and equipment too. Would happily see him back at the studio again.

It was my first time working with Cellar door images. He came to shoot me where I was staying, which was a local photographers house in Gloucester. We chatted about what we would like to shoot before hand and decided we wanted to do some light bondage type images. There was no surprises we shot what we agreed and I loved it. The images looked amazing on the boc and the ones I’ve seen uploaded are even better. We had a great shoot, got on really well and made some lovely images. What more could you ask for.

It was my first time Meeting Paul for our shoot which we have been planning for quite awhile now but sadly things like the weather ans lockdown kept getting in the way.

Paul picked a lovely location for us, He's a friendly guy and easy to have a conversation with which always makes the shoot more pleasent. It was a lovely evening and I'm looking forward to seeing our photo's. I would recommend having a shoot with him.

Thanks Paul

Second time shooting with Paul and it was of course as amazing as expected. We always have a great time shooting and exploring the Retreat.

Paul is such a wonderful person and his talent shines through when shooting. He is inventive and bursting with interesting ideas and themes. I greatly admire all his work and his creativity. The final results are always perfection. I am so excited about future prospects to come with Paul and I hope there will be many!

Fantastic 3rd visit. Really enjoyed today and both you and model are becoming our studio furniture! Its great that you know your way around now and love seeing your ideas unfold.

We really are up for a BBQ on your next shoot!

So pleased to see a returning photographer to our studio, even better when its a friendly and enthusiastic one that has a real interest in how our studio has progressed since his last visit.

Great communication from booking day, throughout to the day of the shoot. Always on time and well prepared. Would reccomend to any model looking for a local photographer.

Where do I start... shooting with Paul was like a dream come true. The shoot was flawless and Paul is exceptionally talented. He really knows what he is doing with the camera. He captured the very essence of the atmosphere, and created the most beautiful light settings. I was amazed and captivated by the results of the images he produced. I am beyond happy at this point with how it all went.

Paul made me feel confident and comfortable. He was gentlemanly throughout. He was fantastic with direction on posing and clearly a true professional.I was enjoying myself so much the time just whizzed by and I could have stayed on shooting all night long. I am so thankful for the experience. I could go on and on because I can't express enough how much I loved this shoot. So it goes without saying I highly recommend him.

Thanks so much Paul and I can't wait for the next one!

Paul came to my house today from Bristol to shoot an array of fashion, lingerie , nude and some bodyscaping. I was new to bodyscaping and thoroughly enjoyed it. Paul was calm , conversational and professional throughout and I can’t recommend him enough :) We did 6 hours at mine as was unable to get out due to the weather but the whole set went wonderfully . Looking forward to seeing the images and working together again soon

Really enjoyed having CELLAR DOOR here today, this kind of photoshoot is the kind we really enjoy at the studio. It means we can really get out all our props, move stuff around, set design, get mucky with make up and basically "get into it".

Very professional, great interaction with the model. Both had a vision and a goal they wanted to achieve and still found loads to do here as the camera kept going 'click, click, click'!

More than welcome to return, and looking forward to future projects.

All the best.

Had an epic two day shoot with Paul, with a range of looks from boudoir to apocalypse to implied nudes. Paul was an absolute gentleman at all stages of the shoot, including pre comms, I felt very well taken care of and had a good laugh while getting creative! He understood the styles i was going for and made me feel confident and comfortable enough to try some implied nudes outdoors! Would love the chance to work with Paul again!!

Rosie Flame

I had a lovely 2 hour shoot at f/8 Studios today with Paul.

Mainly focusing on contours and bodyscapes with some light bondage and rope work.

Paul is great to work with, respectful, has a great eye and we got some awesome shots.

Thanks Paul :)

Jessika Blaze

Such a lovely guy. This was my first NSFW shoot, and I was made to feel so comfortable, not pressured into everything. His shots are gorgeous, he has such an eye for capturing beauty. Would definitely like to shoot again :)

Evie Robertzon

Had a fantastic shoot with Paul on Monday in a beautiful location. Was treated to essentially an entire tray of biscuits and plentiful tea breaks, as well as superb images throughout the day. We worked together really well, and I am very excited to see the images from our shoot! Would definitely recommend!

Paul came along to an Art Nude Workshop at my home studio ("The Den" studio on Purpleport) a couple of weeks ago and I had an ABSOLUTE blast! I'm always a little nervous working with new photographers but Paul was super professional, fun and very down to earth to work with!

We had a smaller workshop this time around and lots more sets working from Fashion to Art Nude and bodyscapes, using a mixture of gels and the smoke machine for added drama!

Paul is a very capable and creative photographer with a natural flair- he has also gave great direction and it was lovely to have him in the group! I loved the evening which absolutely flew by- looked at the clock and it was 9pm already!! Such a lovely group and I went away smiling. Thankyou so much and really hope to see you again soon! Helen x
