I had my first shoot with Paul during my first studio day at Fine and Dandee studio, we shot for 4 hours and the time flew by!

He is down to earth, easy to get along with and a true professional photographer. He has a great eye for detail and knows what he want to create. His pre-comms were great - informing me what items of clothing to bring and was an all round pleasure to work with.

I would highly recommend any model to shoot with Paul - he is definetly someone I hope to work with again in the future!

I had my first shoot with Paul at Fareham Studio, we did 8 hours of shooting and the time flew by!

Paul is super laid back, easy to get on with, fun, and very professional. He made sure I was very comfortable and relaxed before we captured some really gorgeous images.

The communication before and during the shoot was great. He knows exactly what images he wants to create. Paul brought a variety of props which really helped us achieve some awesome shots.

The photos on the back of the camera looked fantastic and I can’t wait to see the results!

I absolutely give Paul my highest recommendation and look forward to working with him again in the very near future

Thank you for a lovely shoot Paul!

It was lovely working with Paul again over 3 days in multiple studios. He was just as polite, compassionate and kind as the first time we met over a year ago.

I wouldn't ever hesitate to recommend Paul to any other models and dancers, his dance photography is equally as beautiful.

Paul knows what he wants to shoot, but is always open for new ideas, helping me to achieve poses and looks I wanted to try. It is always a pleasure shooting with him, and I look forward too the next time and seeing the images!

Thank you Paul

Paul came back to Basford Hurst cottage to shoot with Emma Stanmore Smith.

It was a pleasure to welcome Paul back to Basford, he has now shot at Basford a few times and each time has captured many unique images and is always full of creative ideas!!

Paul once again stayed over and was a perfect house guest, always making sure to respect and look after our location.

We would have no hesitation to recommend Paul and look forward to seeing him at Basford again soon!! Thanks again Paul!!

Paul came back to Basford this week on two separate occasions. The first of which was with Maryam and the second Luana. On both times Paul and the model arrived the night before and stayed over night before shooting all day the following day.

It was lovely to welcome Paul back to Basford Hurst cottage. Everything was organised promptly and efficiently with all pre-comms with Paul being clear and effective.

Paul arrived on time on both visits with everything he needed for the shoots. Paul is easy to have around the house, I wouldn't have even known he was there a lot of the time as he sat quietly editing images from previous shoots. He is also a great house guest, making sure to leave everything clean and tidy after his stay.

Paul would be welcome back to Basford anytime, I very much look forward to seeing the images that he created with both models and I would recommend him. Thank you for coming back to see us Paul!!

Paul arranged to come and shoot at Basford Hurst Cottage with Maria26. He also stayed over night the previous night in our on site accommodation.

Pauls pre communication was great. Unfortunately there was a severe delay on the roads on the way to Basford, but, Paul kept me up to date the whole time ensuring I knew when he would arrive.

Paul is a knowledgeable photographer and brings a lot to his shoots. He was easy to talk to and very respectful of our location. He looked after all our props and equipment and left the room very clean and tidy after he left.

Paul is welcome back to Basford anytime and I look forward to seeing the images he created here. Judging by the work already on his portfolio I think they will be incredible!!

To say I was surprised when Paul reached out to me several months ago, would be an understatement. His quality of work is immaculate and I was afraid I wouldn’t meet his expectations as my appearance and style are vastly different from the examples in his portfolio. Regardless, I was flattered when he asked to shoot with me so I travelled to Bedford where we worked together for 2 days.

Any worries I might have had evaporated as soon as I met Paul in real life. He is one of the most respectful and polite photographers I have ever had the pleasure of working with. His instructions on poses, moods and expressions are so detailed and clear, it makes posing near effortless. The atmosphere was lighthearted and fun, he has a great sense of humour and you can easily lose track of time while chatting.

Thank you so much for choosing to work with me! :)

Definitely recommend working with Paul which I hope I’ll be able to do again someday!

We get creative and interesting photos.

Highly recommend!)

I had a shoot recently with Paul and he really knows his stuff! He is a great guy who says it how it is (which I love). He gave me lots of helpful direction and from what I’ve seen so far the images look great! Can’t wait to see more of the images and hopefully to work with Paul again in the future!

I had my first shoot with Paul last week, and he was an absolute pleasure to work with.

The communication before and during the shoot was perfect and he is very professional and punctual. He kept giving me instructions about angles, light and poses during the shoot and I had a lovely time. He also made sure I felt comfortable during the shoot and giving me breaks. Really happy with the images and would absolutely recommend him! :)

I have worked with Paul on a number of occasions now and I absolutely love his work every single time! He is very professional with a clear direction of how he wants his model posed. The photos always come out incredibly well and he is a pleasure to work with.

He is respectful, kind and very talented as you can see from his portfolio. Would highly recommend :)

Lucy Webb

Paul was an amazing photographer, he was a joy to work with. I really learned a lot from Paul his direction was very clear. And when he took a few shots, he showed me and the pictures looked incredible.

Paul made me feel very relaxed, and the atmosphere for our whole day was good.

It’s safe to say, I would recommend Paul 100% and I would work with him a hundred times over.

Thank you Paul for such a great day x

I have worked with Paul on numerous occasions and have thoroughly enjoyed my experience shooting with him. He is extremely well organized, his pre comms are second to none, he is punctual, respectful and polite. He knows the very best places to shoot at and we have shot in a number of wonderful studios this year.

Paul is meticulous in his work and has a very good understanding of lighting, he certainly knows how to set up the most flattering and beautifying lighting! He a very clear idea of what he wants to achieve, and for good reason - his images straight out of the camera are always spot on. At this point I feel very comfortable working with him and making suggestions if I don’t think something is working or if we should try something and he is happy to accept my contributions. He has an endless stream of ideas and tries to get the best out of you; I always look forward to working with him.

I have a good idea of his style preferences at this point, and he is helpful in bouncing ideas back and forth on outfit selections in advance. He plays a very proactive role in shoot organisation, from styling to lighting, to ensuring I arrive at the studio in one piece.

I have worked with Paul several times this year, and feel very confident in recommending him to models and studios alike.

Thank you so much Paul - hope to catch up again in the not so distant future :)

Might be Pauls 100th or 99th reference and good reason they are all positive.

Paul is a gentleman who gives clear and concise instructions to his models in a way that they can understand but not dictating to them.

Paul attended the Gina Ogden studio weekend.

Respectful and polite as a studio I am happy to recommend Paul and I'm sure his will too.

Gina Ogden

Paul came to my studio weekend at kempston and we had yet another amazing shoot together. He is super lovely and always a delight to work with. His photos are just gorgeous and he is an extremely talented photographer

I always enjoy working together

100% recommended by me!

I've shot with Paul last Monday for the first time, after 2 months of waiting (I was working abroad, and I really appreciated that he wanted to book so far in advance).

We worked the whole day in studio, he’s been really polite and professional, and you can see how much passion and effort he puts into his photography.

Absolutely recommended!

Lotus Lowry

I cannot recommend Paul enough!He's such fun, made me feel very comfortable and he didn't make me do anything that I felt uncomfortable with. He is very professional, you can tell that he is very experienced, and such a perfectionist that each shot came out amazing! I have learned so much from him and I cannot wait to apply everything that I have learned in the next shoot.

Work with him when you get a chance!!

Thank you again,

Paul and I shot twice during my recent Northampton Tour. The first was in the property I had hired and the second was at Saracen House Studio. His pre shoot communications for both shoots were excellent, well thought out and thoroughly planned. He arrived on time to both shoots and was raring to go. Paul is such an easy going, relaxed person to work with and is the perfect gentleman as well.

Conversation easily flowed during both shoots and we really took the time to get to know each other. It was clear to me from the very first shoot that Paul takes his time over the composition of the images, as well as taking the time to make sure the lighting is right and the settings on the camera, definitely rather quality rather than quantity.

I highly recommend Paul to all creatives, both new and experienced as he will put you right at ease and will also be able to guide you with posing.

Thankyou for the fantastic shoots!

It is has been a long while since I have left Paul a reference and I’ve lost count of how many shoots we’ve had since the last one!

Paul is a top photographer to work with as you can see by his portfolio, his attention to detail and lighting knowledge leads to some amazing images.

He is respectful, kind and funny and even on full day shoots, the time always flies by. I expect to work with him again very soon and if you get the opportunity, jump at the chance!
