Hands down, by a country mile... the most mental shoot I've had to date!!

Equally... one of the most epic from start to finish!!

Normally, I wouldn't have even considered a waterfall shoot in the middle of November but I have long been a fan of Paul's work and couldn't think of a better photographer to go on an adventure with!!

We met up early doors, came up with this outrageous plan for the day and went driving off towards Edinburgh!!

Paul is one of the most incredible talents around in my opinion!! He carefully scopes out incredible locations with a dedication rarely seen these days!! Not only that he is over and under fences, up to his knees in freezing water, dangling precariously from rocks all in search of the perfect shot!!

He really suffers for his art, and I'm sure has a few scrapes from our shoot to prove it!! With a clear vision of his shots before hand, clear direction and always on hand to ensure I was as comfortable as possible, made the whole thing just an absolute joy!!

On a personal level, Paul is a fantastic human. Well travelled, insightful, charming and with a few belting stories he is a photographer I could shoot over and over with.

All in all... Paul is wildly imaginative, insanely dedicated, a true gentleman, slightly tapped, extremely generous and someone I sincerely hope I bump into again very soon!!

Never pass up the opportunity to work with this man,

Im so so glad I didnt!!

Thank you so much Paul,

We did it!!!

I had my second shoot with Paul last weekend,this time I contacted Paul as one of my friends wanted to do a fun duo shoot and I knew Paul would definitely have some great ideas and a good eye for the locations!

We decided to do a swim wear beach theme, the location Paul chose was gorgeous and never ending places to shoot from! Paul was a delight to work with and I'm so happy we were able to make this happen!

Looking forward to seeing the images and thank you again for another epic photoshoot.

Shooting with Paul was a great experience, I genuinely feel a lot more confident in myself as a model since shooting with him. He is very professional, I never once felt uncomfortable during our shoot, he is amazing at giving direction and I find his enthusiasm for creativity inspiring. I would highly recommend shooting with Paul and I can’t wait to create again with him in the future.

I shot with Paul recently on my Scotland tour

We started at my Glasgow hotel and then hit the city

Well what can I say. His work speaks for itself. He’s an all round creative brain my brain instantly recognises his. He’s super passionate about what he puts his mind to and very talented.

His brain is full of a never ending waterfall of ideas.

He’s productive and precise. And I felt more than safe and looked after at all times

I would highly recommend him in the creative industry for being professional/ has great character and enthusiasm to execute the job at hand

I look forward to getting the chance to work together again soon

I had the opportunity to work with the amazing Paul! We organised a location shoot, the main focus was a beautiful waterfall which Paul had found and researched on.There were loads of places to shoot that we ended up working together all day!

Paul was very professional, easy going, energetic, friendly and full of ideas. I really enjoyed the whole shoot and it has to be one of my favourites that i have done.

Definitely give Paul a message if you want to add something special to your portfolio!

Thank you again

Paul has amazing attention to detail and the moves and position he gets into to get a perfect shot is incredible!He was very respectful and professional and always made sure I was okay and comfortable throughout the whole shoot.

Paul is absolutely phenomenal! When we met at our first shoot I was blown away by his attention to detail, he made sure every shot was THE SHOT! He is so diligent with his work from setting the perfect lighting, perfect angles to even the perfect outfits - his creativity is like none that I have seen before. Our second shooting Paul had been organizing for weeks and his hard work resulted with a wonderful, team and stunning editorial photos.

With his professionalism, creativity, passion, as well as his kind hearted, witty nature - he is the perfect example of what all photographers should be striving for. His company will leave you smiling all day while his photos take your breath away.

I’ve shot with Paul a few times and he’s an absolute pleasure to work with! From start to finish he’s professional and hospitable. Paul always goes above and beyond to get the perfect shot and has amazing creative directorial skills; this making him a perfect match if you’re new to modelling or looking to get that front-cover worthy image at the end of it!

Look forward to working with Paul again

Myself and Paul have collaborated together many times and I have always had the best of times. We can create great visions together and pull it off everytime! The images are always amazing and completed to a high standard! Such a humble positive easy going character helps you feel very comfortable. He presents great communication and professionalism with every shoot!

I would definitely say that Paul is one of the best photographers I have worked with and look forward to working with him in the near future please!

We had an editorial outdoor fashion shoot in two beautiful gardens in Glasgow proposed by Paul, in a rare sunny day :)

I believe Paul is one of the most proficien editorial style photographer in Scotland with an incredible degree of attention to details. That allows Paul to help a model to find perfect poses and light exposure.

Paul was great also before the shoot. We carefully review all my suitable outfits for the shoot and this led to a such rewarding result.

10 out of 10, hope to work together again soon!!

Shot with Paul for the first time today! We had a virtual shoot which went really well.

I had been admiring Paul’s work for a long time so I was really looking forward to today’s shoot! Paul has some great styles when it comes to photography. When we began the shoot,it was clear he knew what ideas he wanted which made working with him flow very well.

Paul is very friendly and a great person to work with, I believe working with him can add great experience for any model! I would definitely recommend working with him and I hope to do so again in the not to distance future!

Had a brilliant impromtu shoot with Paul on Sunday. We shot on the canal in Edinburgh and didn't let the rainy day dampen our spirits. Loved all the images I have seen so far, a mixture of colour and something a little bit moody. Highly recommend Paul and I hope to shoot with him soon :) ♥

Paul and I have worked together on multiple shoots; so much so that I wonder whether he will ever get bored of me!

Paul may consider himself an amateur but this is far from the truth. He is brilliant at giving directions when required, has a genuinely warm and friendly persona and most importantly, he has a fantastic eye for details! In my opinion, all of these factors indicate a talented professional in the photography industry. Moreover, Paul's lively and energetic personality means a shoot with him is always fun whether in a studio or out on location!

Always a pleasure and highly recommended.

I had a studio shoot in Glasgow with Paul and I love every minute of it!

Post shoot he organised everything so quickly and let me know what I'd need and where we'd be going. The studio was beautiful and Paul himself was well equipped.

He had amazing ideas and knew exactly what he wanted, he probably made me laugh more times than he took photos but no one wants a boring shoot.

I'd recommend Paul to any level of model, he is a true gentleman and he makes you feel at ease.

The pictutes I've already saw are astounding and I can't wait to see the rest and to work with him again!

I came together with Paul for the first time last week at a beautiful venue in Glasgow for a shoot with some fabulous designers. We focused on a high fashion style with an element of pure class.

Paul had some amazing ideas and they all worked so well. The images are stunning, thanks to this very professional gentleman and brilliant professional photographer. I cannot wait until our next shoot!

I highly recommend to any model or creative.

Much love,

Eve

Brilliant guy to work with. Very professional. The shoot took place in my home I couldn't believe how great the images turned out. I'm pretty new to modelling but he coached me on poses and made me feel very relaxed. We have arranged to work together again very soon :)

I had a wonderful fashion shoot and I would not hesitate in recommending him. He paid attention to every detail to get exactly the right shot and make you look amazing. Great ideas were flowing and this was a very different shoot from what I am used to. The technical knowledge shown was just amazing. I loved what I seen on the. back of the camera and look forward to seeing what is produced. 👌🏼👌🏼
