Had my first shoot yesterday with Paul, and he was great to work with! His communications in the run up to the shoot were absolutely spot on, he scouted the location in advance and sent pictures across so I knew what to expect, and he even offered to pick me up and drop me off, even though it was out of his way, which was incredibly kind! Plus on top of all of that, it's been less than 24 hours, and he has already sent across some edited images, which are stunning! I really cannot recommend Paul any more highly, he was an absolute pleasure to work with :)

Paul and I shot a couple of weeks back in the poppy fields near me in the Cotswolds! Paul was fab at researching the location before hand and actually going to visit it first. He also found us a quieter field full of poppies in bloom!

Paul was his usual fun and chatty self to shoot with. He was organised and of course professional throughout. I also loved Pauls concept of using the red voile against the field of Poppies. Colours matched perfectly! Paul was also kind enough to take a few shots of my Daughter and I in the Poppies which came out beautiful and something I will always be grateful for! :)

Definately work with Paul if you get the opportunity! We have shot a handful of times now and he is one of my favourites to shoot with in the area. Many Thanks Paul :) x

I had my second shoot with Paul few weeks back. Like last time Paul's communication was great leading up to the shoot and also afterwards. Paul fancied trying a Greek Goddess inspired shoot which was a totally new concept for me! But I love Paul's creativity and so went for it! Paul and his lovely wife Di made the toga and found all the props and jewellery to go with the outfit. Di has always been home at least for some of the shoot and is a lovely warm and friendly person who makes you feel comfortable. They are a lovely couple. Both shoots have been in Paul's home studio which is also fab by the way and can be customised into all sorts of set ups / back drops and even a boudoir look! You are always given your own room to change and keep your things too.

The Greek shoot went very well! It was pretty cool to see myself dressed up in a historical style! We then also shot some retro boudoir as I had some new bullet bras and this again was easy. Whilst Paul was setting up the bed, Di offered me one of her home made scones which was lovely! :)

Both concepts went well and as we had already discussed ideas previous to shoots, and I always find this helpful. Like usual we ran out of time even though Paul had booked 5 hours! Both Paul and his wife are so easy to get on and are an absolute pleasure to shoot with, I can't wait to shoot again with Paul again once the UK has returned back to normal! Stay safe Paul and family :) xx

Had my second shoot with Paul and it was as good, if not even better, than the first shoot we did together. I tried on a range of dresses that Paul had kindly supplied for me, all of which were stunning, and it was so much fun!

Cannot wait to see the images!

Again, would definitely recommend.

Another great shoot with Paul! This time things got festive, Paul once again took the time to ensure lighting and settings were perfect, i was very pleased with the outcome and was very honoured to have been hosted at his studio again, absolutely 100% reccomendation to this fantastic photographer.

Another shoot in the bag with the fantastic Paul!

This time, we shot at his studio at his home after he kindly picked me up from my home and I had the privilege of meeting his Wife who provided a lovely spread of nibbles and met the infamous Molly! It was a great 6 hour session although I was determined to keep it short and sweet however (and please consider this for your shoot) inspiration is something that kept appearing out of nowhere (again) and it had to be done there and then, some ideas worked, some ideas didn't but we came out with some gobsmacking images, at one point I was literally speechless and I'm overwhelmed with the results.

We seem to be able to share the same images in both our minds before they're taken and we have developed a fantastic work ethic together with brilliant communication throughout, thanks again for your time and commitment.

Having only worked with two photographers previously, and being very new to the modelling scene, I was a little nervous before shooting with Paul and Sophie (who joined as mentor).

Needless to say, even right from pre-comms, Paul has been absolutely brilliant and I couldntve asked for a better, more comfortable, more fun, more creative shoot. Paul really does create such a lovely atmosphere in which to work and enabled me to grow in confidence as the shoot went on by providing a warm welcome. Together as a team, we have managed to create some wonderful images of which I am very happy with.

I would absolutely shoot with Paul again, and not just because Di puts on a wonderful spread, of which I was super grateful for after a 5 hour shoot. Thanks again, Paul!

I shot with Paul at his Home Studio in Worcester last Sunday. Paul booked me for a Pin Up shoot with also a try at Bodyscape at the end. Paul had great pre comms and put together two Pinterest's for me to work from creating some of the classic cheesecake Pin Up images. I always like a shoot with a plan behind it so this was fab. Paul was kind enough to pick me up from the station and himself and his lovely Wife Di made me feel welcome and comfortable the entire shoot which included a nice lunch for our 6 hour shoot. Paul also asked Kay Lou to come and style my hair in a couple of Pin Up dos including Victory Rolls and this really added to the shoot. Everyone I worked with that day was friendly and relaxed - the shoot progressed at a natural pace and nothing felt rushed or challegning at any point - even when I tried Bodyscape for the first time!!

Paul was respectful, he gave me my own changing room for the day and I felt 100% comfortable with him at all times. Paul is a really genuine and lovely guy, he is definately up there in the top photographers who I enjoy to work with :)

Paul has also provided me with contact sheets to go through and choose some images for my portfolio and left a nice reference. His communication has also been excellent afterwards too. If you are looking for a professional, creative, fun, relaxed Photographer to shoot with in Worcester, Paul is definately your guy!

Many Thanks to you Paul and your lovely wife for having me and I hope to work with you again in the future :) x

What can I say about this incredible Photographer?

Well, let's start from the beginning...

Paul responded promptly to a casting call I had posted looking for a particular style of Photography, I knew instantly that he was commited and he proved it 100% by pre-comms alone, his pre-comms were absolutely perfect, discussions, idea and thought exchange, response times, inspiration and generally creating different targets for both of us to achieve together, trying new things for myself and some new things for him.

Paul arrived on time to a shoot which was accommodated for at my home and set up his gear (which he brought a generous amount with him which was incredible) practically straight away, taking his time to ensure everything was perfect, which is something that is always appreciated.

Throughout the shoot I felt inspired, elevated and ideas were quite literally bouncing off the wall! We worked hard and consistently for approximately 6 hours, with Paul being able to adjust everything to the standards I required at the time and he was extremely accommodating.

I felt completely at ease during the shoot, I felt confident and alive, I felt like I could truly be my crazy, high energetic self and he was extremely complimentary all the way through and I felt we had an absolutely brilliant vibe with no awkwardness and only paused for coffee and general chit chat.

His style of Photography is overwhelming because he can do such a massive variety and he can deliver, what I felt, absolutely everything to an extremely high standard and I was overwhelmed with the results we got!

I am extremely eager to work together again!

Thanks for an amazing evening and for commuting your time to help me achieve everything I wanted and more, I cannot WAIT to see the photos!

Paul did my first ever shoot yesterday, him and his wife made me feel so at ease. The shoot was very relaxed and enjoyable. Gave me lots of advise and help for my future. Thank you very much guys.

Second shoot with Paul - and his lovely wife Di :)

Completely different to our first, it was awesome to shoot something more edgy and Paul did a great job of using gels outside which can be tricky to do so nice job!!

We also shot some video work which was awesome fun as I don't always get to do that! It looked epic too :)

Great to work together again, Paul is ridiculously easy to work with and can't wait to see the results :D

Thanks

I had the absolute pleasure of meeting and working with Paul for the first time when he attended a studio day arranged by my agency, Rogue Model Management, at Far Forest Studio.

It was certainly a busy studio day, with 5 models and twice as many photographers, but Paul made a lasting impression on me. Paul is warm, kind and great company. It was lovely to chat with him, if only for a short while, while we shot together. He indulged my interest in his camera/lenses and showed me back of cam images throughout. He was also kind enough to share images with me post-shoot and they’re absolutely lovely :)

I would recommend Paul to absolutely anyone and I hope our paths cross again in the future.

Thanks Paul! :)

FABULOUS DARLING.

I recently worked with Paul and it was a wonderful experience! We went for a coffee and I got to meet his lovely wife as well! Paul is a talented photographer and he puts time into giving the photos a little editing and a touch of something special! I really enjoyed working with him and would definitely recommend him! 😄

Had a great fantasy shoot with Paul today at Far Forest Studio, he is professional and very friendly and easy to get along with. He is a great photographer and great company, is creative and has an eye for fashion. No finished images yet as it was only today, but I am 100% confident we will have got some amazing shots. I would be more than happy to work with Paul again, and would recommend him to models of any level and style. Cheers Paul :)

I had a great first shoot with Paul at Far Forest studio :) He had a list of ideas all ready and he was well organised. His wife also came along and she was a lovely lady and very supportive. We got through lots of sets and worked really well together. Paul is a great person, very easy to chat to and I'd love to work with him again in the future. Thank you Paul :D Claire Topaz

Had several shoots with Paul over the last couple of months and I have to say, he is one of the most attentive and considerate people I've ever met. He is full on professional, great to be around, friendly and positive, and he will always show you full respect and check back if there is anything you're not happy with. Very much recommend and I'm looking forward to our next shoot together!

I had a fantastic afternoon shooting with Paul and his lovely wife Di who came along to help us, 2 lovely people! Paul chose a brilliant location for our shoot and we were blessed with amazing weather and Stunning light in the Woods! Paul had some great ideas which he had discussed with me prior to the shoot, and the photos are just beautiful - Paul has a great eye for a shot! I enjoyed every minute and would love to work together again

Highly recommended
