I always have SUCH a wonderful, exciting time shooting with him! Cannot recommend him ENOUGH! EXCEPTIONAL lighting, amazing attitude, great ideas, he's calm & collected, but so fun to be around! Can't wait til I get to work with him again!

I shot with Paul recently in ireland 🇮🇪

My flight was delayed and the weather turned to absolute poop but we both remained positive and ended up having a great shoot we found a last minute location. Paul collected me from the airport and dropped me to my next shoot. He was very easy to get on with and came across as a very caring person. We had great fun on the shoot. I would certainly recommend him as a person and a photographer

I look forward to shooting with Paul again some day

Yesterday was my second shoot with Paul this year and definitely won't be the last!

He is so easy to chat to and to get along with, he is very chilled and super considerate, always checking in and making sure you are comfortable and happy throughout the shoot.

Not to mention, he is an astoundingly talented photographer! He has his own style and captures you in a extremely beautiful light.

I see many more shoots in our future!

Thank you so much ♥ :)

Paul was absolutely fantastic to work with.

Picked me up from the train station. Was very professional and respectful, all in all a super person beyond just a great photographer.

We had some pretty difficult conditions to work with as it was approximately 5 degrees and we were on top of a mountain. None the less Paul always made sure that I wasn't getting too cold and my wellbeing was a priority for him, which is sometimes rare in this industry.

Very knowledgeable man. Knew what he was doing and you could see it in our images at the end. Great pleasure to work with, would recommend and can't wait to work in the future.

Paul and I had been in touch to arrange a shoot 5 years ago and it never happened unfortunately but luckily we got to shoot at last in an old house in Westmeath. I was delighted to shoot with Paul as I have always admired his edgy sensual style of photography. I wanted to see myself in this type of image that only he can produce. We began shooting and I knew straight away that the results were going to be epic as this photographer clearly knows how to direct a model to pose and his lighting skills are incredible. I was very excited when I saw the images on the back of the camera right after each set of poses and outfit change. I was pushed to my limits in terms of posing and this was a new experience for me and I really feel I developed my modelling skills and creativity as I have never posed like this before . Paul was also so encouraging in terms of praising my efforts to pose and complimentary as to my appearance which as a mature model is lovely to hear. Thank you Paul, I’ll look forward to seeing our new images and shooting again soon 😊.

I shoot with Paul at some/many occasions at this stage, as one shoot is just not enough!

Paul is fantastic to work with, very good communication and is giving me a lot of free rein to play about with different positions, different ideas. Paul is kind, respectful, professional, creative and is very knowledgeable of how to photograph and creating very strong images. He also is an upmost nice person and I feel absolutely comfortable throughout the shoots.

It was and is my pleasure working with Paul again and again.

I highly recommend him to any and all models. And I look forward to the many upcoming shoots with Paul.

Thank you Paul. – I can only highly recommend!

I had a great photoshoot with IllustratedMan on my tour in Ireland, and he is an amazing guy and photographer to work with. He is fun, friendly, and a gentleman and I love his style of photography. I'm looking forward to the next time and I highly recommend him to all models.

I had an absolutely fantastic shoot with Paul in the spectacular countryside of County Wicklow. Paul is great company. He's practical, dynamic and creative in his approach to shooting. I had a really fun and productive day collaborating with Paul and can't wait to do it again. He's professional and considerate and I would highly recommend him to other models.

I have just started out in modelling in November and paul reached out to do a shoot. I was nervous at first because his work was so amazing and I was so new to the world of modelling, but as soon as paul and I picked a date we did a phone call to discuss ideas and styles and he spent a whole hour on the phone helping me with tips and things That would help me along the way.Paul is an absolute gentleman to work with, he is very professional and is a genuine nice man.when it comes to lighting,and in my case posing paul is great help,very informative. I never felt awkward or unqualified in Paul’s arms he talked me through each pose he wanted me in and we got some great results, I have now shot with paul several times and each time is always as amazing as the first. The beautiful thing about paul is he’s so creative and his imagination and detail to enhance a womens natural beauty is amazing. I absolutely love getting edits back from paul because he puts his heart and soul into his passion and it shows, just look at his portfolio. Thanks for everything paul love kiera x

IllustratedMan.. and now a good friend. I only have positive things to say about our experience working together. If you have the opportunity to work or collaborate with Paul.. Take it! Always delivers amazing results. I learned so much from Paul and he is amazing to shoot with. Passionate about his work, respectful towards women and very humble. So talented although he hates to admit it but his work speaks for itself. Thank you Paul! :)

Paul was fantastic. From start to finish, communication was brilliant and his direction was clear and concise. I love his work and had been following him for a while so when he approached me for a shoot I was delighted. Really looking forward to seeing the images we created as it was so fun working together! Such a great guy.

Paul you are just amazing!

I was lucky enough to work with this lovely gentleman on my recent Dublin tour (3rd shoot in the bag)

This time we shot at my lovely hotel not far from Lucan. Paul's work is absolutely beautiful, very different and edgy! We work so well as a team and there is never a dull moment when we get together!

I cannot recommend him enough and if you haven't already worked with him then I highly recommend you do!

I just hope there will be many more collaborations together!

Thank you so much Friend xx

What an absolute legend!

I worked with Paul recently on my first ever Dublin tour and what a fantastic shoot we had.

Paul is so easy to work with and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute with him, there just wasn't enough time.

He is so good as what he does & I'm surprised he only does this as a hobby.

I felt so comfortable around him and cannot wait to work with him again.

Paul, thank you so much for working with me - I am over the moon with the images and cannot wait to see the rest of them.

Until next time darling :)

Highly recommended!

So after a couple of months of planning I finally flew over to Dublin to shoot with the very lovely Paul alongside another photographer for a location shoot at a derelict bungalow and wow!!!! From the moment Paul collected me from the airport I felt completely comfortable in his company, considering the conditions we was working in the shoot went amazingly well.. Paul was an absolute pleasure to work with, so easy to get along with and really did look after me making sure I was comfortable throughout. Paul is such a lovely guy as well as amazing photographer and absolutely highly recommend him to work with given the opportunity 👌 I'm yet to receive our images but have no doubt the outcome will be amazing having had a sneaky peak off the back of the camera at some of the shots Paul took 😀

Thankyou so much Paul for a fabulous first shoot ...it was an absolute pleasure to meet /shoot with your and hopefully we get the opportunity to work together again 😊

Cheers Vic x

I had an awesome shoot with Paul during my recent visit to Ireland- he picked me up and we got on like a house on fire right away. We went to an absolutely gorgeous location and shot a range of powerful art-nude, fashion and in-the-water shots. He was mindful of my safety and comfort (and proximity to mosquitoes) at all times, which I really appreciated. :D

I LOVE the images I saw in the camera and would be delighted to work together again. Recommended. :)

I had a lovely shoot with Paul while touring in Ireland and he was a pleasure to work with!

Paul picked me up from the station and we drove to our location. Paul pre scouted a location to make sure it’s great for shooting and I need to say he did very well!!

We shot for a few hours, combining different styles and locations and I did enjoy it so much! Paul is a great photographer, his full of ideas and really good technically. Moreover, he is a lovely person to work with! Really polite, caring and easy going. He made sure I was fed, warm and happy throughout our shoot. We shot while chatting and joking around and that’s why it went soooo quick!

Thank you and looking forward to working with you again!:)
