I had really great shoot with Paol at his cottage in Chorley. I worked with Paol already a few times during last 4 years. For this shoot he prepared some cool outfits for me and had so many great ideas for the shoot. We even used his very cool car in the garden and I got to wear matching colour corset. The images behind the camera looked amazing.

Paol is also an amazing host, I stayed at his cottage for 2 nights while I was working in the area and had a studio day at his studio Liber8.

I can highly recommend him and his place to other touring models.

Thank you so much for a brilliant shoot and great stay.

I'm so glad I got the chance to work with Paol and shoot in his fantastic Liber8 Studio in Chorley, NW.

The studio offered a wide variety of backdrops, lighting, sets, and props, so I was spoilt for choice.

Paol, is a very talented photographer and knows his way around a camera and has such a great eye. He was very respectful, and patient and the communication before during and after the shoot was fantastic.

He is so passionate about his work and makes sure he gets the best out of his models. He listened to my suggestions and ideas, and we worked together to create some stunning images.

He made the shoot fun and educational. What a way to spend an afternoon. I hope I can model for him again, soon.

Models and amateur photographers, I highly recommend working with Paol and hiring his amazing studio.

Sweet.

I was fortunate to spend the week with Paol on a models and togs abroad photoshoot. Paol is very knowledgeable about location and where and when to shoot. Being a photographer as well Paol is always happy to share tips and tricks and is very helpful and courteous to all of the models and togs. Great to spend the week with you Paol.

I had the pleasure of working with Paol during my NW tour when he hosted me at his wonderful studio, Liber8. Paol is a kind and caring host, and a truly talented, creative photographer. His eye for detail and passion for his work made the shoot both enjoyable and productive. I would love the opportunity to work with him again and highly recommend him to other models.

Thank you for a wonderful shoot!

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Paol again recently on Photography Holidays trip to Portugal, albeit it was only short as he could only make it for a few days, but the days we did spend together, I made sure to create some magics with him :) he is such a lovely guy, so easy to get along with, he has a great eye for photography, and I can’t wait to see what we created.

Would highly recommend you to work with Paol :) thank you for an enjoyable few days

I really do think very highly of Paol I love him to pieces so was over the moon he joined us for a few days in the Algarve. He really is so very kind and down to earth. Paol tries to make sure everyone is happy before himself and goes the extra mile for the models and to get the great shots. Thanks for joining us it made the week great. Of course I have only the highest recommendations for Paol. Thanks for everything x

I recently shot at Liber8 for Paul the owners group shoot. Paul is a really lovely kind man who made sure I was looked after and comfortable and all the guys were very friendly and welcoming. I had a great time and would definitely come back! Jenny James.

I had my 2nd shoot with liber8 owner as his house. We shot early in the morning in the kitchen, then the garden including his old fashion car, then the bedroom using my outfits. He had ideas to go by and so did I. I am grateful he woke up so early for me. I felt comfortable in revealing outfit to naked to open leg posing while he took the photos. He let me pose freely but corrected me when needed as confined space in the bedroom.

He wants to do a french maid outfit next time, a USA blue red n white coloured clothes and more outside in cottage gardens n mill etc if warmer weather

He didn't push past my open leg levels.

I had my first shoot with liber8 owner

We shot in his new studio which was cool.

He had his camera and studio equipment about. There was different scenes and backgrounds to use. Natural and studio lighting. He showed me the bathroom round the corner. We both had ideas.

The blue dress he liked I made sure we did it on our indoor shoot the next morning.

Next time frnech maid outfit he wanna get me

And USA blue red nnwhite colour stuff

And more outside in cottage gardens nnmill etc if warmer weather

He said he would love if I was more local as his new advisor.

I brought my outfits with me but he also had some cool outfits for me to try. Unfortunately I did not get to try his website corsets.

I felt comfortable posing while he took the photos. I like to get as much done in the time we have, which he was up for doing too, but said no stress like I did not need to rush.

I got him taking so many photos that the lighting blew and smoke started. He stayed calm and dealt with it professionally.

I have worked with Paol numerous times now and each time we have such a laugh, the time simply flies by! I have shot with Paol in a variety of settings, from studio to various locations, both one to one and in a group setting. Paol is very easygoing, though professional and makes you feel completely at ease in his company, making sure that you're well looked after. I always look forward to working with Paol and highly recommend him 😊

I met Paol at a models and togs abroad shoot in Crete. What a legend this man is. His camera skills are insane and he is very professional. He lent me some equipment which I forgot to take with me for which I am grateful as all of my photos would have been rubbish otherwise. Hope to meet you on the next trip. Definitely recommend Paol as a photographer to anyone wishing to work with him.

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!!
