Paul is defintely up there with the photographers id be happy to recommend to any model who was starting up.

He makes it fun, he keeps conversation interesting and im aching from laughter afterwards! weve shot 12 hours in his studio - and still havent ran out of ieas yet!

his pre communications were great as always - we had to do a last minute change of location as the British weather showed us up! Even though we already had ideas that we had to scrap in the end - we still came up with 8 hours more of ideas.. some we are really chuffed with and defintely gave us even more ideas for next time.

He likes the whackier poses - which is perfect for me! He has it tethered to his laptop in the studio - so its super easy to go over and look through what youve taken and how you can improve it, resulting in better end results!

I hope Paul continues to work with me (even if his 2nd reference is a bit late) :P and we can be partners in artistic crime again in the ner future!

Have shot with Paul a few times now - we've immediately hit it off, he's a fucking lovely fellow, with amazing ideas, excellent music taste, awesome lighting ideas, and the best company. This shoot was no different. We smashed through some colourful lingerie and suit sets, broke out the fan for a dramatic gothy number, I licked a couple of mannequins (obvs), got a little shiny in one set, accidently fell over in another set whilst sitting down (only I could do that) in a rather gorgeous pool of light, and we had an absolute blast. The images are fucking INCREDIBLE.

So Paul is brilliant. You can't not like him. He's just a dude, a very cool dude. Fwend.

Would highly recommend to all models and creatives!

Until next time my dear.

Wow I shot with Paul 3 days ago in Gloucester! My gosh! What a shooot!!

From the minute we met we just clicked, we got on like a house on fire! There is only a few people where you meet and you just instantly bond and understand eachother! He is one of these people!!!

Utterly fantastic shoot from the offset, we planned this super last minute, I believe the day before on Instagram I sent him a message showing my appreciation on his work... and it turned out I was shooting near to him the next day so I saw if he was availability & he was!

We totally rocked out in his incredible studio, he has all the best equipment, including Broncolor gear (perfect) and a lot of Manfrotto stuff too I spotted!

He tethered to his computer to show me the results which is ideal as a model to get to see the images to adjust posing accordingly & it really gave me a buzz to see how awesome they were looking!

We shot during the easing of lockdown, he was considerate at all time but it didn’t break away from our fun that we had! The tethering was again a good idea due to close proximity if I were to be touching/checking the back of camera

Seriously, I feel I’ve known Paul a life time !

And i REALLY can’t actually wait to model for him again

GIVE ME A BUZZ ASAP TO SORT ANOTHER SHOOT, we are too good of a team ! If I say so myself!

Loved our chats, banter, dancing and totally bonkers shoot

Thanks again

Totally high recommended on every single level!

One of the best photographers I’ve ever modelled for!!

YES !

Had such an amazing day with Paul at his studio f2.8. I am so privileged to have been offered to work with him.

His studio is spectacular, every idea could be covered and more! Loved the gun idea.

Paul made me feel so comfortable due to the respect he gave even to me as a new model, was easy to converse with and has great banter.

I'd recommend him to any new model.

Thank you so much

I had my first shoot with Paul today and could not have wished for a better first post lock down shoot. Paul is totally professional and very easy to work with. The studio was so hi tech... he is a wizz with lighting and taught me so much. 6 hrs went so quickly and think Paul achieved some Of my best Images ever . So pleased with the results And excited about these images. Really look forward to working with Paul in the future and highly recommend him to anyone lucky enough to get to work with him. Top of his game... an amazing photographer 😊

Had another amazing shoot with Paul, he has spent a lot of time on the studio since my last visit and we were able to get some great work done.

I really enjoy working with Paul, we have so much fun and he really helps bring out my best sides.

Can't wait to shoot again next month!

I had a absolutely brilliant firsy shoot back after this pandemic with Paul at his studio f2.8. I reccommend him, and his studio, with no hesitation to anyone.

He was kind enough to pick me up from Gloucester Station and we drove tk his studio.

Studio is brilliantly kitted out, Paul is extremely easy to get along with and has great ideas that keep the creativity rolling throughout the shoot!

We both laughed alot, got super exited looking at the images and how much we liked them and had a great day.

He was completely respectful, I felt completely safe and I'd recommend him to any new model.

Thanks alot Paul.. Still lots of ideas up in their air we need to get to pop up on your screen! 😊

Throuroughly enjoyable,

KatyB

Had a fab shoot with Paul recently! His pre-communications were excellent, he had a very clear idea of the style of shoot he wanted to do which meant I knew what to expect going in. He was lovely and chatty from the start, and made me feel very comfortable. Shot for half a day and the time flew by! Fantastic photographer and lovely guy, would highly recommend to any other model in a heartbeat.

Paul and I shot at his awesome studio in Gloucester. He is easy to talk to, full of ideas and is very respectful and professional, he makes wonderful coffee :P

I can't wait to work with Paul again, we got on so well and the time went so fast. I wish every shoot could be so creative and fun!!

Thanks, looking forward to seeing the images great deal! Xx

Another great time working with Paul! After working together for the Luna boutiques shoot a few weeks ago I was thrilled to arrange a shoot with Paul at his studio!

First time for me doing a new level and Paul was the most respectful and professional! Honest, trustworthy I felt totally at ease and the images we got are fantastic! I can’t wait to work more with Paul in the near future and would highly recommend.

Had a great studio day with Paul at F/8 studio.

Lovely personality, easy to work with, super friendly and organised!

Even made sure I got home ok by driving 45 min to the nearest station to ensure I got a train back to London due to trains being cancelled from Gloucester.

Thanks Paul!

I had a great first shoot with Paul today at his studio in Gloucester.

Pre-comms were excellent so we both had a good idea of what images we would like to achieve.

Paul is very professional, totally respectful and makes you feel at ease straight away. The time just flew by with lots of friendly chatting and laughs

Paul is very creative and really knows his lighting....loved doing a shadow set which he suggested for something different.

Would totally recommend Paul to all models of all abilities, and would love to work with him again

Had my first ever Shoot yesterday as I am so blessed that is was with Paul! I got lost and Paul came to my rescue to come get me. He has an amazing studio; Made me feel so welcome, went through loads of stuff with me before my shoot, made me feel really comfortable and got on with him so well, we had a fun day!

If your new and looking to get confidence then defiantly go to Paul he is amazing and knows what he is doing!

Can’t wait to work with him again in the future!

Thank you Paul

Wow. Paul is something special. First of all you can’t help but feel comfortable with him, and I guarantee he will make you laugh many times throughout your shoot, as well as provide you a safe space to change and tea and breaks throughout the day.

Secondly he is a phenomenal creative. It’s so clear that photography is his life and passion, and I love hearing about the constant ventures he is taking on. It’s hugely inspiring to meet someone who never allows them self to settle into a comfort zone and always keeps pushing the industry forwards.

Thirdly, the pictures, styling and lighting are all perfect down to the last detail. I was thrilled with how he captured me so flatteringly, and yet also realistically. Unfortunately we didn’t have the time to shoot art nude or portrait, but I’m actually happy because it gives me an excuse to work with Paul again as soon as possible. Models if you haven’t already, get yourself booked in with Paul, you won’t regret it!!

Amazing shoot working with Paul for a Luna Boutiqes fashion!

Such a great day, Paul’s such good fun to work with would highly recommend and look forward to working with him again in the future.

I had a great opportunity to work with Paul at a fashion shoot for Luna Boutiques.

Paul is very professional and respectul photographer, very fun and friendly person to work around. He has been very supportive for me during all event, and made me feel very comfortable and relaxed, which is very helpful for a newbie model.

I highly recommend Paul and would love to work with him again in a future.

Thank you!

I've shot with Paul a few times now- but never actually as me! I've always shot with him with different make up styles created by Alley at Pozers, so when we worked that out, we knew we had to shoot together again!

And my oh my am I pleased we did. We shot a variety of different themes, closely looking at light erotica and sensuality conveyed in imagery- something completely different to what I'm used to! We also spent the whole day shooting on black, never falling short of an idea! The back of camera looked absolutely amazing and I'm buzzing to see the final results. I think it's rare to work with someone you get on with so well, who can push your boundaries (in a good way)and still be perfectly respectful in all aspects - even when my legs are in a spreader bar 😂

Really really enjoyed our shoot and I can't wait to shoot together again when I'm back!

Thanks so much for having me Paul!

I met Paul at his group shoot at The Gym studio and was delighted when he asked me to shoot at f/8 with him. He is professional and considerate yet easy to talk to and lots of fun!

We shot a variety of styles, portrait, art nude and some acrobatic and aerial work and I'm excited to see what we created - the images looked great off the back of the camera!

100% recommended, I'm looking forward to working with him again.

Thanks Paul!

Today was my first shoot with Paul and it was a great full of laugher shoot. We did range of things to portrait, fashion to nude.

He knows what he talking about when he comes to lighting and angles he has great range of equipment which makes pictures look even better.

I was freezing throughout the shoot so Paul got some hot fan airing at me but will as still cold so I stood in front of them lol

We had a natter and great chat about ideas and general things.

Communication before the shoot was good we went through ideas on what he both had.

I would love the opportunity to work with Paul again he a pleasure to work with

I recommend him to any model he makes you feel at ease through out the shoot

Thanks for a good day

Looking forward to shooting with you again soon

Today I got to shoot with Paul for the second time, we first worked together a few months back at a charity event and on both occasions of shooting with Paul, he was polite and professional at all times, while also having fun and a good laugh to ease any nerves.

Communication was excellent on the lead up to the shoot including helping find accommodation for the night before the shoot.

Paul’s work is outstanding and I cannot recommend him highly enough and I look forward to working with him again in the near future!
