Amazing shoot with Paul at his studio! Pre coms were excellent and felt comfortable from the get go. Paul has so many creative, fun ideas for the shoot. Something a little different from the usual glamour. Paul has a clear talent for photography and excited to see the final images. recommended !

Was fortunate enough to be cast by Paul for a boudoir shoot, which took place at his lovely home studio. It was so refreshing to be able to work with such a creative and passionate individual. Paul was very relaxed and also very considerate throughout the shoot. He had a great range of ideas and I particularly enjoyed what we did using his projector, using different images and patterns on the body.

Images looked great from back of camera, and I would be more than willing to work with him again. Highly recommended.

I had the pleasures of being chosen as Paul’s model for a shoot at his Kent studio. Pre coms were fantastic from Paul, and I had a fantastic on set experience. He immediately made me feel comfortable and his professionalism showed through for the whole shoot duration. His studio set up was great, with Paul showing his knowledge of lighting and photography. We shot a selection of bikini and lingerie, ready for Paul to creatively edit for a beach style shoot. The back of the camera photos already looked fantastic and I cannot wait to see the finished edits!

I would definitely recommend Paul and would lobe to stay in contact to shoot again. Thankyou again for an amazing shoot!

Brilliant first shoot with Paul at his studio! He is very respectful and full of fantastic ideas too! He was kind enough to pick me up from the middle of nowhere and our conversation naturally flowed. Paul is a family man and I was particularly impressed with the fact he shows his daughters a before and after photo of editing to show the adverse difference it can sometimes make! Would love to shoot with Paul again as we had such a great shoot!

Deffo recommended!

Thanks for having me Paul!

I had a wonderful first shoot with Paul at his studio. Pre comms where spot on so I knew the aim of the shoot and the items to bring. We worked through many clothing styles to test out lighting and created one very amazing art nude image which he has developed further in photoshop!

If you get a chance to work with Paul I highly Recommend you do so. The time flew by as he is very easy to work with, chatty and professional.

I had my first shoot with Paul at a studio he uses in Sevenoaks yesterday evening and it was a real pleasure to work with him. He had various ideas and knew exactly what he wanted to achieve and as a result the shoot ran nice and smoothly and it was over before we knew it!

I would highly recommend him 100% I look forward to seeing the photos and it would be great to work with him again sometime.

I Highly Recommend him to anyone interested!

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Paul for the first time yesterday evening at his new studio that he has recently got up and running.

Pre-communications were absolutely spot on - I knew the details of the shoot including a thorough mood board which had reference images as well as a written description for each idea. This was very useful so I knew what Paul wanted to achieve throughout the shoot.

Paul is polite, easy to talk to and get on with. He is very respectful and professional. He nailed the different lighting set ups pretty much straight away and he showed me the images on the back of his camera throughout the shoot. The results were amazing!

Highly recommended by me!

Thanks again :)

I had the pleasure to work with Paul. He is such a great man! Friendly, kind and respectful. He is super organized and have very good ideas in mind. Very professional during the shoot. The results are looking amazing, beyond expectations. I really enjoyed shooting with him. He picked me up at the train station and then dropped me back. There should be more photographers like him. I look forward to work with him again.

Marisa Eva

Had a fantastic and enjoyable shoot with Paul today. He had some great ideas to the theme of the shoot I wanted to do and it was good to try some new things. He picked me up from the station and dropped me back which was very kind and had a great studio to use for the day. Paul is a very friendly person and made me feel very comfortable working with him. Would highly recommend and look forward to the images!

Helen-Rose

Had the most awesome shoot with Paul in an amazing London apartment. We had already discussed what we were going to shoot - the theme was superheroes! This must be one of the most fun shoots I've had - amazing location, great theme and great photographer! Particularly as lighting wasn't always straightforward and Paul nailed it. As well as that Paul is very easy to work with and great fun! We got some wicked images and I had an absolute blast - I always remember how fortunate I am with shoots like this :)

Brilliant evening and I very much hope to work together again - thank you Paul!
