I can’t believe I had to wait almost a year to work with Paul again! He is one of my most favourite people to work with and just to generally be around! My train was delayed and so I missed my connecting train which meant that I was an hour late, but Paul was super relaxed and really helped calm me down! He was so understanding about the whole situation and I can’t say how much I appreciated that! Luckily I had a lunch hour so was able to work into that, but Paul made sure that I had time for a break in between shoots!

Paul is just so great to be around! He has a wonderful persona and brilliant conversation! Not to mention the fact that his images are pretty darn wonderful too! :D He had some fabulous ideas about what to shoot and always listened and tried any ideas that I had! He has great technical knowledge and always gets his exposure/composition/ etc done really quickly! His focusing is great too so I wasn’t having to hold my pose for extended periods of time, Paul just got the focus and got the timing right! Which make my job much easier!

I loved what we shot so much! We managed to get a huge range of images and I am excited to see which ones Paul choses! I am so pleased to be shooting again with Paul soon! I of course would HIGHLY recommend him and I feel so lucky that he choses to work with me :D

Oh what a wonderful, enriching experience it was to work with this creative once again. Paul is such a fantastic photographer who has a breathtaking eye for capturing wonderful imagery. He isn’t afraid of experimenting with lighting set ups and it’s that confidence and perseverance that I admire. I really do love working with this guy!

Thank you so much Paul!

Amazing first shoot!!

Paul owns an amazing home and I was lucky enough to be invited to shoot there. He was incredibly polite, friendly and laid back. Pre comms were excellent and the shoot itself was really thoroughly enjoyable.

We had regular breaks and he even treated me to lunch which was very thoughtful. I had such a great time meeting him and working with him and anyone who gets a chance to do the same is very lucky!!

Lovely guy, very talented and I look forward to working with him again soon :)

Thanks Paul!

I had another amazing shoot with Paul...and this time we took advantage of his home studio! Just WOW. Not only is there so much potential of making fantastic images with Paul at his place, but you are also very well looked after. I honestly could shoot with this guy for a whole week and not get bored. He is a true artist and one to admire. He gains inspiration from many top photographers, and rather than copying them, he makes it his own, with ease and fun.

Such a lovely person to shoot with: with an open, creative and wonderful mind set. Thank you so much

I Had an absolutely fantastic shoot with Paul, he came a long way to work with me but arrived early, with biscuits (yum). \working with Paul was a breeze as he was very laid back and easy to talk to, open to trying all my ideas but also had plenty of his own ideas too. Paul is very creative and open all sorts of weird and wonderful things but highly professional and great at giving direction should you need it. I really appreciated the extra tea breaks and mega fast image turn over :). the pictures are also absolutely fantastic!

I thoroughly enjoyed working with paul and we have already discussed another shoot :).

THANKS! :)

I had a wonderful shoot with Paul, at Talliston House recently-it was such a memorable day. Pre-communication was fab, and I knew from the start that we were going to have a fab time shooting together. He has a great eye for shooting natural light-even with the smallest amount of light available. We worked together to compose the most exquisite imagery, and had a laugh and a good chat whilst we shot. He is very encouraging about making fabulous artwork and very considerate-making you feel comfortable at all times. Thank you so much and I can't wait to shoot with you again!

Thank you

The man with the Maserati .... it was my first time shooting with Paul

he booked me during my south east tour of England. Pre-comms where great everything was organised and finalised rather effortlessly and quickly which is always helpful. Paul picked me up from his local train station which I wont try to pronounce :D and we shot at his home studio. A quick coffe and chat to get to know each other a little better, which I always prefer. Then strait to shooting. It was obvious from the get go we where onto something really good as the first few images I saw on the BOC where just stunning. We shot some inside the studio and some on the Maserati in the garage. Wow what a handsome car! all around a really enjoyable and productive shoot. Images from the shoot are just lovely too. I would happily recommend Paul to everyone, great guy! and photographer

Wow I had such a great time shooting with Paul !

He kindly drove down to Hunstanton to shoot me in an apartment there, and although there were some hiccups in privacy, Paul was so understanding and patient whilst we were shooting! And woah, did we get so many cool looks ! I absolutely loved how we maximised the potential for each room we shot in, can't wait to see the final images! We got on so well and had plenty in common, lots of interesting conversation and the shoot was an absolute blast. Our two creative minds put together made magic ! Thinking out of the box, shooting more edgy portraits with some raw emotion, from soft lighted nudes, to voyeuristic, gritty bathroom shots! Just in loveee with them !! Paul was so kind, I enjoyed every minute with him and can't wait to shoot with him again !! Thank you Paul ! X

Had a terrific first shoot with Paul at his beautifully equipped home studio last week. I've long admired Paul's work, and I'd studied his photography and the facilities and characteristics of his studio, so it was great to finally meet and work with him. :) He kindly picked me up from the station, and gave me a tour of his idyllic home in the Norfolk countryside, where I was introduced to his impressive collection of cats and horses, and his brand new Maserati, and then we proceeded to have a highly creative and productive shoot, at a relaxed, unpressured pace, taking time to peruse his bookcase full of photography books. After our first half- day's shoot, Paul and his wife kindly and generously took me out to dinner, and I was treated with great respect and hospitality throughout my stay. Paul was friendly and professional, and is a highly perspicacious and talented photographer- the images on the back of his camera looked great, and I look forward to seeing the finished results.

Highly recommended, and I hope we will work together again soon. :)

Had my second shoot with Paul and did a variety of new shots. As usual, Paul is very professional, warm and welcoming, and who is very respectful towards other people. He has the perfect place for a studio and knows how to manipulate angles and lightings to create beautiful images. I do not hesitate to refer him to models who are looking for a professional photographer!

Had my first shoot with Paul at his home today and what a pleasure it was!!

He is a a genuine and lovely guy and a great photographer. His home studio is great and has so much potential for a reasonably small space.

I can't wait to shoot with him again!

Thank you for the shoot Paul!

Highly recommended

This is the 4th shoot I've had with Paul and we've already started making plans for the next one!!!

Paul is just fabulous to work for, or rather with as he listens to everything you say on shoot! Paul is lovely as he tries to make everything as easy as possible for the model! When we were shooting his first priority was making sure that I was warm and happy, even if that meant to shooting anything other than fashion, which is so appreciated!!

Though I'm glad I did take my clothes off as boy did Paul create some stunning images!!! He made me look wonderful! Which models always love! Paul has a great eye, as well as great technical knowledge! There is no messi v about, Paul knows exactly what to do to achieve great shots!! I love his creativity on shoots!!

We were shooting at The Natural light studio and I feel like myself and Paul made great use of the space together!! We even tried some real abstract stuff at the end which came out brilliantly!

Not to mention the fact that Paul himself is just lovely! Very kind hearted with a lovely respectful attitude! He is a pleasure to work with and I feel very honoured in calling him a friend! I'm very excited for our next shoots! I would recommend Paul in a heartbeat!

Thank you for a lovely shot as always Paul! Love Nicole X

I had my second shoot with Paul at WindmillArt and as always Paul was excellent throughout. Pre comms were fantastic, and although things didn't go 100% as planned on the day, we had an amazing shoot. Paul is the ultimate professional, I would never hesitate in recommending him.

The results so far are incredible, thank you so much, looking forward to the next time already :)

Ayla

My third shoot with Paul was just as productive and fun as the first! His pre comms are excellent and he is a really lovely person to be around. Paul is relaxed, easy going, interesting and has a great demeanour throughout our shoots. Paul is really talented and has taken some beautiful shots of me, he is full of creative ideas but is also happy to let me do my thing. I cannot praise him enough and I highly recommended him.

Thanks so much Paul :)

Thurston Lodge

Great to see Paul at work at Thurston lodge.. already some lovely shots of Ayla coming through. Paul showed great respect for the property and had great fun, I look forward to welcoming back and seeing some more excellent work!

Miss Abi

Had a super successful shoot with Paul at FotoRetro Studios, he is professional, creative and totally open to new ideas, which I love! The pre-comms were absolutely spot on, I could not have asked for more.

The only downside is how quick the shoot went! I totally recommend Paul and would love the pleasure of working with him again. Thanks again, Paul, loving the images so far also! :)

I have had the pleasure of Paul shooting at my studio 3 times now. His communication is always good, he always arrives on time, is very polite and well mannered. He never abuses the studio in any way & always settles his account.. A super asset to any studio owner.. I thoroughly recommend him to you all.

Sweet Séverine

This was the second time I've worked with Paul and it was amazing, he is a great communicator, comes u with ideas before and during the shoot and is very adaptable to my thoughts as well. He really captured the best possible image I can imagine and goes extra lengths to make sure the location is great and most suitable to the style of model and image.

Very respectable and pleasant to be around and I hope we work together again, makes me motivated as a model seeing the great shots we got :)

Anneliese

This was our first shoot together and i'm really pleased we did. Communication was excellent and he provided me great instructions to his house where the shoot was held. He is a lovely man, easy to talk to and made me feel comfortable and relaxed. The photos and quality produced are fantastic and I have no hesitation in recommending him and I hope to work together again in the future.
