I had the best weekend at Paul's in Limerick! It had been a couple years since we shot and I was glad to be back. Paul is always fun to shoot with, has great ideas, is creative, a great laugh and also open to ideas too. We got so many great shots during the weekend and I can't wait to come back!

Highly recommended, thanks Paul :)

Love working with Paul, he's bloody hilarious and excellent to work with - I went over with my partner Natan, stayed over at Paul's place for a few days, and shot over a couple of days with him and Bullets. A rather cool mix of low key fashion and headshots, long exposure colours, with some highly enjoyable pagan duos - absolutely loved this shoot. The pictures are incredible too!

Paul is respectful, artistic, good company, super genuine, patient and lovely. Would highly recommend him to all creatives and models, a safe and wonderful soul.

Our second shoot with Paul went very well. This time we also went outdoors. He had an exact plan where he wants to shoot and he found the best location so we had a chance to figure out what kind of dresses would be the best there. I love the results we have from the shoot. I can only recommend him.

I don't know how many times I've worked with Paul but it's always such fun and so easy!

This was our first shoot after quarantine and I was very excited.

Awesome creative theme and loads of fun was had!

We always get great shots and have a giggle.

Thanks so much Paul

Look forward to the next! 🙂

I shot with Paul and his friend Brian during my road trip in Ireland and WOW, what a fantastic pair or humans!

I felt so welcome, so at ease and there was great communication about the shoot. He has a great sense of humor and the two days of working with him just flew by.

The results were fantastic, we created some beautiful images, both in amazing locations and in Paul's home studio, which is an excellent set up.

I really hope I get to work with Paul again, he was so accommodating and lovely. A million percent recommend.

Genuinely love working with Paul so much! He is always full of bizarre creative fun ideas, is probably one of the most easy going people I've ever met and is super fun too.

He is so hospitable, offering to pick + drop me off at the airport, letting me stay with him and feeding me amazing food!

I may have split one too many gin and tonics but hope I wasn't too much of a terrible guest :D

The results of the shoot were awesome too, he is always so quick at editing the shots!

We went to some beautiful locations as always. It never feels like work working with Paul and hopefully I can return to ireland soon!

10000% recommended

Paul is honestly one of my favourite people to shoot with! He’s funny, creative, easy going, respectful and we always get awesome shots. We always try new techniques which keeps it interesting! Highly recommended.

Paul is a great person with a good sense of humor! I enjoyed our shooting so much!

We worked in a very small room, but he prepared really well lighting and he is soo good in editing, that everyone thought it was a big studio.

He is so creative, and he had everything for a cool shooting!! Aerial rings, more dresses than I have, a the talent!

I’m looking forward to shooting with Paul again!

Highly recommended!!!

Had my second shoot with Paul, at his Limerick home studio, with Bullets (Brian) - what an amazing shoot it was!

Paul hosted me the night before, super comfy spare room,and made sure there was lots of food and herbal tea available during the shoot too, he's an excellent host and awesome soul. We started shooting some colourful gel lighting set ups, a few different outfits, the images are utterly beautiful; then went on to clamshell style lit portraits, overhead lit nudes and implied reclined. The pictures are just stunning!

Paul is an awesome human, very respectful, funny, extremely creative, and cool company to be in - would highly recommend this fellow, he's a top gent.

My first shoot with Paul (How is it only the first???) earlier this month, doing a split shoot over two days - was arriving from a long train journey, two flights and a bus, so was pretty tired but Paul made sure I was comfortable, fed and watered before shooting that evening. Bullets also came along for the shoot, and we got some incredible portraits, some moody shots, projector shapes, an edgy latex set, so many incredible photos! And the banter was brilliant, had such a laugh!

Paul is lovely, very chilled, artistic, great to chat to, and was kind enough to let me stay at his house for a few days - a cool soul, can't wait to shoot with him again!

Thanks again man, until next time.

Absolutely love working with Paul! He’s hilarious, creative, open to ideas and has millions of his own. It’s so much fun working with him and he’s a gent too! We’ve created loads of awesome photos together and had fun doing it. Can’t wait til the next time :) thanks Paul! Highly recommended.

Love shooting with Paul, he had me along to 2 Photoshoots where he organised absolutely everything when models were travelling over to Ireland and he was hosting them. we did a shoot with 2 great very harworking models on the 4th, 5th, then 7th 8th.

I can see the more times I team up with Paul and great models that I'm becoming happier with my photos each shoot. I'm seeing my own photography improve trying different things, the Last shoots we tried loads of stuff! my favorite images where when using his Gravity Hand-painted canvass backdrop with a 1 light setup. There was also projectors, Gels, Latex, urban stuff, loads of outfit changes....so many different setups we went through.

He recently upgraded his home studio and it looks awesome now. New flooring, loads of backdrops and equipment means you can do lots of different setups.

Did a shoot with Paul and his friend Bullets in Pauls private home studio. The studio offered various backgrounds, as well as lights. Paul was very professional, easy to work with, chatty and made sure im comfortable. He had plenty of pictures for me done only in space of couple of days, and i absolutely loved them. Cant wait to work with Paul a d Bullets again!

Paul is a lovely person who very kindly hosted me also. We had a short but sweet shoot on one of the evenings i was there and i found him to be really creative. We shot quite a few sets in a short space of time with lots of variety which is always fun. Paul is a great host and a lovely guy. Many thanks and i hope we get to work with each other again. :)

I had another great few shoots with Paul during my mini Ireland tour. He kindly offered to host me, picking me up from the airport and making delicious food :)

The shoots were very relaxed and he (as always) had plenty of ideas. He is always positive and keen to try new ideas which makes working with him so easy and we get great results every time.

he is good fun, always has me in laughter and I always come back from Ireland with a smile!

highly recommended by me as always

If it was not for Paul I'd have no Photos of people and would be still out my back garden doing macro shots on bugs! I've teamed up with him a few times now and always appreciate it. He has creative ideas for all sorts of unusual ideas for shoots on the day so never boring. Some of the things I would think would not work quite often turn out amazing.

For people that might be visiting his studio Paul spends a lot of different props & outfits. Looking about the place its the Willy Wonka's of photography props From Latex/old style dresses/lingerie/jewelry/makeup/elf ears/gels/coloured backdrops/gravity backdrops/patterned backdrops/loads of modifers/elf ears/fake blood/body paint, battle ropes and even a Pole Dancing Pole....the list is endless.

I have worked with Paul many times and as always this shoot was such fun.

He is considerate and very easy to work with.

Always full of wonderful creative ideas and we always get some great shots!

Thanks so much Paul, look forward to the next 😊

Highly Recommended!
