Paul booked 4 hours on my duo weekend with Sharon and what a breath of fresh air he turned out to be!! He was our last photographer at the end of 2 long days of shooting and just as we were starting to get tired in walked Paul with the most amazing brief for our shoot and totally lifted us. We spent an amazing 4 hours shooting a video, it was so much fun and while Paul gave us loads of direction and tips, he also let us go with the flow and take the lead. I loved every second of working with Paul and am so excited to see the final edit of the video. Thank you so much for being truly awesome :)

This was I think my 3rd shoot with Paul and every time it never ceases to amaze me. Pre-shoot comms are always on point with discussions about ideas/music/wardrobe etc.

Paul is an exceptional videographer, producing films and short clips aswell as photography. He is very talented and I feel privileged to work with him.

On the day he was as down to earth and relaxed as ever even bringing healthy snacks for me to our shoot. We shot at Hallam Mill doing an 80s themed video, it was so much fun and the outcome is absolutely awesome!

Can't recommend him high enough and would work with him anytime in a breath :)

Thanks Paul,

Another awesome shoot with Paul focusing on more video work. I got to be a bit weird this time though ;) Oooh yeaaah.

I danced to the Bee Gee's, got to pretend I had murdered someone, humped a lamp and played with a knife....just my kind of Saturday night!!

Paul is a gem- a totally lovely guy with buckets of creativity and talent. We talked 'life' over cookies and had such a great few hours. CAN'T wait to see how this one comes out...

Thank you, Paul :)

I got to work with Paul again after quite a few years passing since the first time!

Paul booked myself and Tillie Feather together at my place on one of my duo days. We were going to make a slow motion video! Woo!

Video is pretty new to me but Paul talked us through ideas, how it would work and all the technical stuff too- very interesting! We had an absolute blast shooting it and even the small snippets on the camera looked EPIC.

I am over the moon with how well it went and I am bursting with excitement at the thought of seeing the final movie!!

Thank you so much Paul, will be seeing you again soon I am sure! :)

Hooray! I got to shoot a video with Paul, at last! Love the results.

Paul is extremely professional in his approach to a shoot, making it all seem easy. He is cool, calm and collected and therefore easy to talk to, work with and take direction from. Knows exactly what he's doing and how to achieve his ideas. I was very impressed with how the shoot flowed, Paul had a very clear and precise schedule of our day and moved from one scene to the other seamlessly and in a very organised manner. Paul is creative, highly skilled and knowledgable. Very impressive indeed.

It's been an absolute pleasure working with him and I'm very proud of what we've achieved.

Highly recommended.

I had a fantastic, I mean really FANTASTIC shoot with Paul. Paul's work is just amazing....I have been watching it over and over for a long time! Ha! .... I was very surprised that Paul was up for working with me when I finally plucked up the courage to get in contact! We had lots of very good communication and ideas flowing! .... I picked out some locations and he trusted me on those to make his ideas etc work! It was a real piece of creative collaboration! We had a little hitch as one of our locations was currently being demolished! BUT we recovered well and worked with what we had.... Paul was just perfect with conveying ideas and letting me know what he was looking for... He allowed me to work freely and creatively! We had lots of chat, fun and giggles! He is just amazing at what he does! .... Pleasure to be around and to work with! A true creative! And I cannot wait to see the results! I would certainly recommend Paul to all models and creatives! Thanks so much Paul!

We can't wait to see the images Paul created at our studio, he was a punctual, professional and friendly chap and we would love to see him again :)

WOW.....That is all I can say about my shoot with Paul!

I knew I wanted to work with him as I'd seen his work a lot and I just LOVE his video work.

We planned to shoot a video on a dance theme and Paul chose the PERFECT place....the Pit and Pendulum in Nottingham. It was just perfect! i don't want to give away what we shot as it will be a brill amazing surprise once it's made.

Had a fun filled, creative day with him and recommend him very highly to other models if you get the opportunity to work with him.

So excited to see the result and would love to work with you again sometime on another theme....:)

After admiring Paul's videos for quite some time, I finally got the chance to work with him on an idea I'd been sitting on for a while.

After pitching him a rough idea of what it was I wanted to do, and after more ideas were bounced back and forth, we decided that the perfect place to film would be Liverpool.

We shot on the 4th and 5th October, and I found him to be very easy to get along with. He was well prepared, and had laid out a story board prior to shooting, which we both went through meticulously. His direction was fantastic, and he definitely knows exactly what it is that he wants to achieve. Very professional yet very laid back with a great attitude, and great fun to be around. His pre-coms, and after coms are excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed my time with Paul, and I really hope to work with him again in the near future.

Very highly recommended.

Thanks Paul, you're fantastic :-D

I worked with Paul a couple of months ago doing Make up/ Hair on a video he was shooting with Jen Brook. Paul is a great guy, easy to work with, patient and really great at his job. The video has been shot and edited beautifully. it was great working with you Paul and look forward to meeting/working with you again.

I made a video with Paul called 'Writer's Block' a couple of months ago and was really happy with the results! Paul has excellent communication and people skills and is great fun to work with. He listened carefully to all of my ideas as well as adding his own. Making a video was something new to me but he had brilliant patience and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him to anyone else. A lovely chap and a pleasure to work with :)

I worked with Ottey on a studio day. He came with lots of ideas and I had loads of fun working with him. Highly recommended and I love the pics from the shoot!

Paul and I have been wanting to shoot for what feels like a long time now! Finally we shot together at Hallam mill this month while I was on my tour. Paul arrived on time and we were instantly on the same page with shot ideas. The shoot flowed really well and the images looked awesome- I am very excited about seeing them! Paul was so friendly and lovely to be around/ collaborate with. Very highly recommended and I hope to work with Paul again in the future! :O)

Highly recommend this guy. Not only is he a top quality photographer (hobbyist my ass!!!!lol) but what a lovely person to work with...he makes every shoot enjoyable. Id certainly love to work with him again. :)

Paul is lovely to work with. Not only is his pre-communication very reliable, but he's a joy to shoot with. He is creative, precise and puts the time and effort into the little details of a shot. He's chatty and friendly, and overall, a very enjoyable shoot! Would not hesitate to recommend him to new and experienced models alike :)

This was one of those shoots where the creative juices were flowing to the point where I was creatively drained by the end of the shoot :) It was great working with Paul. We both shared an interest in natural light, so the studio (which had gorgeous window light) was inspiring to us both. It was a great creative collaboration and can't wait to work with Paul again this summer!! :)

I had the chance of working with Ottey during a group shoot arranged by Pyretta Blaze, back in March 2010. I had a brief shoot with him, it was a fantastic experience, and he is a great photographer, a joy to work with during such a short encounter, hope one day I can work with him again.

PyrettaBlaze

Attended a group shoot that I organised and worked with myself and several other lovely models and photographers. A very pleasant and wonderful photographer and myself as well as the other attendees were very happy with the results.
