I recently had my first studio day at Liber8 and what a fantastic day it was!! Paol was a great host, organised the whole event and sold out all the slots too.

Pre-coms were excellent, he was very welcoming and made me feel very comfortable from the get go. On arrival we sat down and had some refreshments whilst discussing the plan for the day. He had lots of great ideas, with lots of different sets in mind and his studio is such an amazing place to capture lots of interesting shots.

It's clear from the moment that you meet Paol that this is a true passion of his and he puts a huge amount of effort into making sure that his studio is wonderful environment for both models and photographers. Not to mention... he is a fabulous photographer himself that knows exactly how to capture some magic!!

I would highly recommend him and the studio to anyone considering working there!!

Thank you again for a really enjoyable day and I hope to see you again soon!!

Paol put out a last minute casting for a shoot and of course, I jumped at that opportunity!!!! Having shot with Paol before at Basford Hurst Cottage, it was great to this time shoot with him at his own studio space, Liber8!!

After a very welcome hot chocolate and chat we started shooting... And WOW what a shoot!!! We bounced around loads of ideas including fashion sets, grungy graffiti looks and some fine art nude work. The back of the camera looked amazing and I was SO pleased with the results!!!!

Paol is great fun to work with and a really nice person - We had a good laugh along the way and Paol was open to my crazy ideas as well as bringing loads of his own to the shoot!! - The time with Paol absolutely flew by!!!

Paol of course comes highly recommended from me and I am looking forward to coming back to Liber8 studio tonight!! Thanks Paol!!

I'm not sure where to start with this reference to be honest, I'm kind of convinced that Paol is the kindest and more helpful man on the planet!

I contacted him a few months ago asking if it would be possible to stop at the studio on my way to Scotland and model for one of the studios club nights and hopefully also organise a studio day at Liber8. Paol's response was 'I'd be delighted to', which just sums it up really. Paol is a delight.

His pre comms were great, his enthusiasm for what he's doing with the studio shines through even in messages! He graciously picked me up from the station to go to the club night, he then hosted me at his lovely cottage and dropped me back at the station after my studio day (making sure I could stop off for food wherever possible). He is also just so easy to chat to, easy going and open minded!

We shot together during my studio day, after lunch at a lovely café round the corner, and he was just as great to work with 1-2-1. We got a really good variety of things shot and even used the smoke machine, I really look forward to seeing the final images!

Highly recommended by me :)

I modelled some corsets for Paul at his studio. Cannot fault him one bit. Kind, courteous and great taste in music to work along too

I've worked with Paol several times previously, but this time Paol shot me in his very own Liber8 Studio which was a great experience. As always, Paol was very professional, caring and friendly. Paol is very passionate about his photography and running his new studio, this is evident in how much work, care and resources he has put into his new venture. The studio itself has fantastic equipment and a vast variety of outfits, as well as amazing corsets, which are available for all models to use. We've worked 1-2-1 with various sets and lighting set ups, resulting in some awesome shots which I saw on the back of camera. I'm looking forward to seeing the final results. After the 1-2-1, Paol organised an evening group shoot, which went smoothly too. The studio is a great environment to work in and I can highly recommend Paol, as well as his studio to all models and photographers. I'm looking forward to coming back.

Basford Hurst Cottage Photography Location

Paol came back to Basford Hurst Cottage today to shoot with studio owner Miss C. It was a pleasure to welcome Paol back to Basford having first met him back in June this year.

All pre comms with Paol were great and he arrived on time with everything he needed, including plenty of lighting equipment and a bag full of incredible corsets.

Paol is easy to talk to, friendly and polite and was always respectful of our location during his time here. We would absolutely reccomend him and look forward to seeing him again soon. Thank you Paol!!

Paol responded to a casting I had put out for a last minute shoot at Basford Hurst Cottage and I am so pleased he did!!! Having previously met Paol a few months ago, and seen his incredible work I knew we would be in for a great shoot!!!

All pre comms were great and Paol arrived on time with everything he needed for the shoot. We had discussed doing a 'lady of the manor' theme and I think between us we absolutely nailed that criteria!!

Paol brought with him a bag of beautifully made, quality corsets which we made good use of during the shoot. He also utilised his Rotolight system which he is clearly very knowledgeable about and created so many beautifully lit images!!

Chatting with Paol was easy and our shoot time absolutely flew by!! I always felt completely comfortable and we had a good laugh!! I would highly reccomend shooting with Paol, I loved what I saw on the back of the camera and I very much look forward to visiting him at Liber8 studio soon!! Thank you Paol!!

I had an absolutely fantastic shoot with Paol in his own spacious studio, Liber8. The pre-communication was excellent; Paol messaged me on the day of the shoot with all the necessary details. On the shoot day, he met me near the studio and kindly helped with my heavy bag, showing consideration. Inside, he offered me some snacks and tea, showcasing remarkable kindness and friendliness.

Paol gave me a tour of his spacious studio and showed me the amazing outfits he has, along with dozens of fantastic corsets neatly organized in a separate room. I was free to choose any corset I wanted, and it was so cool! 😍

We had such a great conversation, and I was free to choose the outfit and suggest my own ideas during the shoot! Working with him was easy and fun! He showed me a couple of the photos on the back of his camera, and I was genuinely pleased with them!

Thank you so much for having me in your studio! It was a fantastic day, and I was thrilled to meet you and work with you, Paol. I'm excited about the creative possibilities for our future shoots. I'm very much looking forward to the opportunity to work with you again. Thank you!

Paol is the wonderful man behind the awesome studio, liber8. Which is looking more incredible every week when I see it, Paol has put so much work and planning into liber8 I feel honoured to be a part of it. We met when Paol got the studio and he kept me on as the resident model. I use the studio regularly but with us both being so busy hadn’t yet had the chance to shoot together. Last night Paol held a small studio evening where we finally had the opportunity to get some shots. The evening went by so fast. Everyone seemed to have a lot of fun. I was over moon to see everyone enjoying the studio as much as I do especially after seeing all the love and effort gone into making it liber8… a place I call my second home.

Highest recommendation from me of course.

Thanks so much.

I had a recent shoot with Paol at his studio while I was on my Manchester Tour.

We shot a range of styles from fitness, lingerie to his wide range of amazing corsets. I loved every minute of the shoot and could have shot all day! He is such a gentlemen and a great photographer, he is so kind, chatty and down to earth and he has a great eye for detail and enthusiastic about shooting! :)

I really enjoyed shooting together and I would be very happy to work with Paol again to create even more magic together! I would highly recommend working with Paol if you haven't already and attending his studio.

I had my first shoot with Paol yesterday, as part of a booked day at his studio in Chorley.

We covered a range of sets with different backdrops and outfits, taking advantage of the amazing studio facilities.

Paol had brilliant pre-comms and was a pleasure to work with.

I would happily work with him again and recommend him and his studio to others.

Thank you Paol!

I always enjoy shooting with Paol! This being the 6th time maybe we’ve worked together. This time it was abroad in Zakynthos on a photography trip.

Paol is full of joy and energy. Always bringing something to the group each day and involving everyone.

He is professional, kind and chatty. We have a great laugh throughout and at the same time create some incredible images. Paol is talented at what he does and on top of the photography he has his own corset brand in which each of the models got photographed in.

Love love love them and he will go very far. Thanks again for a great time and outstanding images. Highly recommended :) until next time!

I had the pleasure of working with Paol on our recent trip to Portugal with Photography Holidays Abroad. Paol is so super friendly, talented, knowledgable and creative. I worked with Paol over the week in various locations and each time was wonderful! Paol is super relaxed and creates such a chilled environment for working in. Not only a talented photographer and a lovely human being, Paol owns a corset company (Liber8 Corsets) whereby we were able to wear and model these STUNNING corsets whilst shooting. I would absolutely suggest you check this page out, Paol has so many gorgeous pieces!! I also had the pleasure of working with Paol after the week away in Portugal on our Horse and Ballgown event. Once again, it was such an enjoyable day and Paol captured some really stunning shots.

Thank you so much Paol, It’s been an absolute pleasure so far! I hope to work with Paol again soon x

What can I say..... absolutely fantastic guy, really down to earth. Has great ideas in terms of getting the perfect shot. Worked incredibly well together. We had an abroad shoot to Zante, there was a few of us. Great company also outside of shooting. Made me feel comfortable. Images that have been sent through so far just look amazing. Would highly recommend and most definitely would shoot again with Paol.

Phi Rose

I’m so pleased to say I got to meet and shoot with the lovely Paol recently on a trip to Zante with Models n Togs Abroad!

Paol is an absolute delight to be around, let alone an exceptionally talented photographer! We created some really excellent images together which I’m so excited to share. Paol also brought along some wonderful corsets made by his company Liber8Corsets which he lent to everyone to shoot with, which was so good of him!

He’s kind, caring and always has a smile on his face. His bubbly personality and outlook on every situation is very infectious. He’s was a fabulous addition to our Models n Togs Abroad group of 2023 and I really hope to see him on more with us 😀

I absolutely recommend Paol to anyone thinking of working with him and I hope I get to work with him regularly!

Paol joined us again in Portugal this year, and wow, I LOVE working with him! Paol is friendly, easy to get along with and will always ensure the model is comfortable and happy :) We always create amazing images and cannot wait to share more of what we achieved this time round! One of my favourite images from this recent shoot just received an FPI too which I was so pleased with :)

Paol also now owns his own Corset business, and again ... WOW! The quality is 10/10, they are beautiful and a massive variety to shoot in, so not only does Paol create stunning images, he can also take on the role of stylist! :) Really hope I get to work with him in the not too distant future, and if any of you get the chance to please snatch the offer up!

Had a great shoot with Paol at his new Liber8 studio in Chorley. It is always delightful to work with him.

His excellent pre-communication made my work easier as a model. He discussed what he intended to achieve from our shoot.

Very polite, patient, experienced and easy going to work with.

I enjoyed our shoot and looking forward to our next shoot.

I can highly recommend Paol to any models or photographers to work.

Many thanks!

I've now known Paol for a few years and it's been a pleasure getting to know him better as times gone by as he is one down to earth genuine guy. Hes now been on a couple of Algarve photography trips, the recent being the 2023 trip. I'm so glad he joined us as I knew the models was in safe hands. Each day shooting he communicated well with the models knowing exactly what he wanted to shoot creating stunning images. Not only that he got on so well with all the photographers who attended too and shared advice and ideas with all of them. I look forward to catch up with Paol very soon and hope he returns for the 2024 trip. 100% recommended to all models.
