I had the pleasure of working with Paul for the first time earlier this month. I'd wanted to work with Paul for a while and I certainly wasn't disappointed! The pre-communications were great and we managed to work on ideas during the shoot that were respectful of my boundaries. The ideas we worked on were unique and it was clear that Paul knew how to show me off to my best on camera. I received the finished photos quickly and they are stunning, I really love them! Overall, Paul is a lovely person to work with and highly professional, I would gladly work with him again.

Thank you for a great shoot, Paul. Highly recommended!

Had the pleasure of working with Paul for the second time early Sunday morning at first light, again he was totally wonderful, encouraging, helpful and kind too me, we worked outside first, he let me add my input and respected everything I wanted to try,

Then we went back to my house and spent the day working on different styles and ideas, I really very much like working with Paul, he is straight talking and honest, he directs me well and helps me just be myself.

I absolutely adore the images we produced and really look forward to working with Paul, time and time again, thank you for such a lovely day

I had the pleasure of working with Paul today, on a sunrise location shoot, then studio afterwards, he really encouraged me and gave me really helpful advice with poses, he is a very genuinely nice guy, I enjoyed his company.

He gave me some great advice which I am really grateful for, I felt looked after, taken care of and comfortable with him.

Thank you for a lovely shoot Paul, I very much look forward to working with you again soon

I had a shoot with Paul yesterday that had been booked in for quite a well, but it was very much worth the wait.

Paul was efficient in his communication, both prior and during the shoot, respected any boundaries and personal space, and was a super friendly guy throughout.

Looking forward to seeing the edited pictures - Paul captured some that I absolutely love.

Thanks!

I had my shoot finally (after a few cancellations) with Paul today and it didn't disappoint. He is a lovey guy with a very friendly yet professional attitude who knew what images he wanted to achieve and stopped at nothing to get them. He directed very well, so well in fact that my back now aches lol I would definitely recommend him xx

Had a very "different" shoot with Paul yesterday... and once again.. I loved it and from what I saw "back of cam" I know for sure I am going to love the final images (I always do).

There really isn't much more that I can say that I haven't already said... Paul is professional, a great bloke, has an amazing eye for an image and is very meticulous in his work.

I ache like hell again today as he pushed and tested me as he always does.. he brings me out of my norm and I enjoy that to the max.

I RECOMMENDED WITHOUT HESITATION... Definitely, one of the best photographers I have had the pleasure to work with.

:-D Top Notch!!

I had wanted to work with Paul for many years and finally plucked up the courage to organise something. We booked far in advance, and Paul's comms were perfect.

When I rocked up with my Mary Poppins suitcase, Paul came up with several ideas to utilise as many outfits as possible.

He really knows his stuff when it comes to lighting, angles, camera settings etc, and he showed me images throughout. He even indulged my perfectionism when it came to hands being in the right place and angular poses being correct. We bounced ideas off each other like nobody's business, in true creative flow!

Friendly, easy to work with and an absolute gent, I can highly recommend Paul to models new and experiences - he will definitely give you something different. I now have so many wonderful images to play with, I am struggling not to post them all!

This was the first time that myself and Paul have worked together and I would recommend him and be happy to work with him again. He was professional, even when there was lightening issues they were quickly resolved. He came to my house for a home shoot which I've never done before.

Paul made me feel comfortable, I enjoyed the shoot and I'm looking forward to receiving some great images to show you all!

Thanks again Paul :)

Despite our chosen location being unavailable, we did manage to find an alternative outdoor spot to shoot. We then continued shooting at my house. Paul was friendly and very easy to work with and I’d highly recommend him to other models.

You know they say would you recommend? ... How many times do I have to say it.. YES YES YES...

Fortunately for me... some people ignore the fantastic references that Paul get's ... and some occasionally cancel on him.... I say fortunately for me, because if they cancel.. and I'm not booked.. I wont hesitate to offer my day over to have a shoot with Paul... even now after more than my fair share of sessions working with him.

Every time we shoot... we come up with something different. Today was no exception. We decided to go for the early morning thing to catch the great sunlight we've been getting.. but no.. I get up early and it's raining... that doesn't phase me though, because I know, Paul will turn up.. on the dot.. and whatever we do or wherever we end up.. we will get some amazing results. This morning, again, that point was proven.

So.. models.. please.. read Pauls' references, look at his amazing images and do yourself a massive favour and work with this lovely man if he books you and don't cancel on him. You WILL lose out.

He is really a cool guy, extremely professional in his work and a nice bloke to boot.. not only one of my favorite photographers to work with but also a good mate.

Thanks Paul for asking me to step in again... another fantastic shoot in the bag :-)

This was the first time I'd shot with Paul after following his work with great admiration.

It was a very early morning shoot (around 4:30am) but he arrived early and we headed down to the riverside to try and get a sunrise shot. Unfortunately the weather wasn't playing ball and the cloud cover was too much to see the sunrise properly.

However, we got down to some shooting just by the river bed and then some shots in the adjacent park before the dog walkers arrived.

I have to say the shots he took are stunning and I would happily work with him again......if he'll have me :)

Pre comms were good, shots were sent over in good time and I was genuinely pleased with the results.

Nice, friendly guy and highly recommended.

I worked with Paul today, and what an incredible shoot it was .. Definitely something different to add to my portfolio, and I hope I have added a little something to Paul's to.

Paul is a fantastic photographer, and he really does have a creative mind , capturing beautiful images..

I am very happy I got the privilege to work with him.

Paul is very friendly, and very easy to work with giving good pointers when needed.

I would 100% recommend Paul as he is just so good at what he does, and he really does bring something special to anyones port.

I attended one of Paul's workshop's on Sunday.

Paul is a nice, easy going guy who manages to mix friendly and professionalism very well. (bank account details will be in the next email :))

I found he's workshop to be very helpful. I was able to get a better understanding of studio lighting with 1 and 2 lighting setups, how to pose new models, finding models when your starting out and some basic editing skills.

I know feel a little more confident to know that I'm on the right track to improving my own work.

Thanks Paul.

I attended one of Paul's glamour to nude workshops (with model "Emma_Willis") and found it very beneficial.

I chose this workshop because I like Paul's style of photography and his obvious passion for creating pleasing, artistic images.

He covered both the business aspects and the technical side of photography but without unnecessary jargon and always linking it to real-life photoshoot scenarios, based on his experience.

During the shoots itself (with combination of one light, two light, black backdrop and white, infinity curve), he explained the camera settings he was using and why he made those choices, but always had the mantra of "if it looks right, it is right" - which was refreshing as he was encouraging creativity.

There were 5 fellow photographers on the course and I feel we all had ample time with the model, and didn't feel rushed. The whole course felt very relaxed and friendly. The end result is that I came away with a nice series of shots for my portfolio, and met a nice bunch of fellow photographers, too.

Finally, Paul took us through key parts of his image editing workflow to demonstrate some software tools and great time-saving techniques.

Before going on the course, I already had experience of shooting glamour and nude in a studio, and post-processing. My aim was to pick up some useful tips and ideas - and the course certainly delivered on that. I am already applying much of what I discovered.

To summarize, I fully recommend Paul's workshops if you wish to gain more experience of this type of photography.

Finally got to collaborate with Paul yesterday and what a fantastic day. All round lovely guy, with a great sense of humour. The shoot went better than expected and i know the images will be fantastic.

Pre shoot communications were brilliant and if possible, i will jump at the chance of working with Paul again.

What a fantastic shoot with Paul yesterday!!!!! I loved every second.

He is professional, fun, friendly, easy going...just the perfect balance!:-) He is happy to help with poses, outfits, jewellery....he just knows what works! Paul has given me a huge amount of confidence and encouragement. He values the models and their input 100%. Love, love, love. He is a true gentleman and I cannot recommend him more.

Really looking forward to working with him again!

Thank you, Paul :-)

What an amazing time I had today with Paul!

His port looks fantastic so I knew I was going to work with a truly dedicated, skilled, acknowledgeable and passionate photographer but the man in person is a pleasure to be working with. The coolest photographer ever: he put me at great ease from the beginning as he was friendly, polite and discreet, as well

as giving me good directions thorough but at the same time allowing for me to move and express myself freely.

The studio is amazing, newly refurbished, modern and plenty of features and comforts and wasn't I treated thoughtfully to some nice lunch?

His pre-shoot communications were brilliant. Very responsive and clear on all aspects and what was expected by me and what I should have expected. A truly outstanding example of superlative working practice and ethos.

I recommend all models that want to enhance their portfolio with superb quality images to collaborate with Paul.

I can't wait to share my work with him.

Thanks Paul.
