I had a shoot with Paride a few days ago and it was so much fun!

We met at the station and after my train was delayed. He was so understanding and we didn't let it affect the shoot because within minutes of meeting we were exploring London and finding interesting locations to shoot around.

He sent me over the images the next day which was super speedy!

Thank you Paride for a great shoot!

I very much enjoyed shooting with Paride last week, he is an amazing photographer and his work oozes style. He is creative and knows exactly what he wants out of a shot. Paride was very kind in letting me stay in his spare room also which is a great help when traveling. He made sure I was happy and had everything I needed, even came back to help me when I stupidly locked myself out! I would love to work with Paride again and would have no problem in recommending him to others. Thanks! :)

This has been my 3rd time shooting with Paride, and I will never tire of working with this guy, firstly he's lovely! he's funny, super creative, see's things in every shot and makes adjustments to suit his fantastic ideas. His direction of his models is superb, and from what I saw on back of camera the shots we got are awesome, original and dare I say it some are quite funny

Cheers dude! always a pleasure and hope to work together again soon :)

Always highly recomended

After months of wanting to work together we finally got to shoot yesterday and well the wait was worth it.

Paride was ever the professional,his direction was spot on he knew exactly what he wanted,with every frame paride saw something else and so directed myself and Diego,

I knew the images were great straight from the back of the camera,

Paride was so funny and I felt so at ease working with him,

I would definitely recommend him to anyone,

So much so I'm working with him again in July.

Thank you for a great shoot, till next time Kelly :) x

I had the pleasure of working with Paride. He is friendly, respectful, and very easy to get on with! He is a true creative, thinks outside the box and this reflects in his images. He has an amazing eye and style, I loved what we shot! And he was so kind as to share the images with me.

Highly recommended :D

Thanks a million and hope to see you again sometime :D

Had a great shoot with Paride last week.

Well what can I say... a truly lovely man. Unfortunately less than an hour before the shoot I had a bad accident at work but was determined to carry on. I messaged Paride in advance to let him know the issues (puffy face from crying, in some discomfort and a general mess) but knowing his long travel I was not prepared to let him down. Sorting out my face - thank god for make up!- and making the best of my hair I got myself sorted for his arrival. From the moment we met he was so kind and all throughout the shoot he was concerned with how I was- which by this time was much better!!

As I said at the time, apologies for not being m normal self but we managed some really great shots and seeing some editing on the day was great too.

I highly recommend and would be more than happy to work together again.

I went o a road trip to Wales with Paride for an evening and following day of shooting. We had a blast, ate chips, ice cream and pranced around in pretty frocks (me not him) lol, anyway fantastic images were quick to follow and i am chuffed to bits with the results. Paride has his own distinctive style which i just love and we have already booked our 3rd shoot ;)

Fantastic shoot with Paride today. I think when you spend the first hour travelling to the shoot chatting about books, quantum physics, Sci-fi and other assorted science and mind concepts you just know the shoot will be something a bit special! We had a great time near to the sea, and the whole shoot was just fun, easygoing, and very creative. We had several discussions about ideas and concepts before the shoot; I love his ideas and imaginative visions, and being able to incorporate parts of Jung"s 'Red Book' into a shoot is a personal 'wow' for me.

I have already had a brief look at some of the images we got and am beyond delighted. Paride is not only a brilliant photographer, but an all-round funny and kind person, and I enjoyed working with him very much. Already got our sights set on shooting again in another amazing looking place and I am very much looking forward to it. Needles to say I thoroughly recommend working with him if you get the chance! :) Thank you Paride x

I had a great shoot with Paride today. He found a very nice location, came up with awesome ideas and was great in giving directions! Besides, a very easy-going and fun person to work with, and a gentleman with a thoroughly professional attitude. Would love to work together again, and am really looking forward to the images!

I worked with the lovely Paride for the second time yesterday at a hotel in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, and as usual... I had an amazing time!

Paride is such a professional, one of the most experienced and gentlemanly men I have ever worked with. We worked together for two hours on beauty, fashion and mysterious sets! We got so much out of the short time we worked with each other, but that just keeps it sweet! :)

I cannot wait to shoot with Paride again - he is incredibly talented in what he does!

I love working with him! I recommend him to anyone of any experience - he is awesome!

I had a super shoot with Paride at the weekend at my place.

I was really looking forward to working with Paride as his style is very unique and quirky- which I really like to embrace when I can! ;)

I played dead, I did odd, I swished my hair about and had a great time!! Love the shots so far and Paride was super to work with- laid back but creative and very interesting!

A super shoot and I look forward to seeing more results. Thank you Paride :)

I had 2 absolutely cracking days shooting with Paride in Scotland.

I can't say how much thankful I am that Paride chose me to do this road trip with him.

Adventure it's my 2nd name.. So 2 smashig days with stunning locations, great company, lots of ideas and new places that i got chance to see. What else I could ask for!?

Paride was planning this trip for a quite while back, due to my work we couldn't set up a specific date on the beginning, but when we finally managed to get a date that suit us both I was very happy.

So much driving, shooting with plenty of coffee and so much fun !

We did mainly fashion in some of the most beautiful locations I've ever seen in m life, we also did a bit of lingerie too. Very productive 2 days!

Paride was very professional, picked me up on time, well prepared.

He's got such a good sense of humour so his company was a huge plus while having such a long distance to drive!

And I still can't believe how he managed to do that driving and still had energy to shoot after all !

Very highly recommend.

Thanks Paride.

Shot with Paride for the first (and not the last time;)) time this week. Paride is a great professional photographer who is full of ideas and creative vision. He is great at capturing emotions of a model and creating a story behind the image, or as Paride himself said "It's important for and image to have a SOUL :)". Another Mega plus, he send me around 15 edited images the next day, in less than 24 hr! The images turned out really great and I am struggling to select my favorite one so I ended up uploading a few on PP and thinking of adding a few more. Highly recommend and looking forward to work with Paride in the future again :)

I can't recommend Paride enough, i had a great time shooting with him at my home. He arrived on time, full of ideas and energy to shoot. We had such a giggle and i just adore the shots he got of me. Im hoping to work with him again very soon as i love his style and he makes me feel beautiful x

Paride hired the studio for a 2 hour booking, he turned up in plenty of time and was well prepared. He had a clear idea of what he needed for his amazing fine art style of shooting. A pleasure to have in the studio.
