I had my second shoot at pauls studio today and despite the fact that I wasn't feeling 100% paul really was understanding and looked after me making me drinks and checking I was ok whilst I was shooting with another photographer.

As always pauls communication was excellent prior to the shoot and it was a pleasure to be back again

See you in 2018 :-)

Had a brilliant studio day at Paul studio and also managed to shoot with Paul for the last slot of the day .

Paul has a great approach to his events , he has a great cliental and sells the events with little or no help from the models. Its a great way to help out is models and shows that he puts effort in to make these events a success. Paul himself is also very welcoming and interacts well with all his cliental and also ensured that I was comfortable and happy throughout the day.

The studio itself might not be the biggest in the world but sometimes simplicity is the best. He has a range of backgrounds , hidden props ;) , and all the lighting you could need. So you can create stunning images. Don't judge a book by its cover.

Towards the end of the day I shot with Paul himself . He has a keen eye for photography and brings the creativity back into photography . He made sure he has the lights set to perfection before shooting so you get the perfect shots rather than happy snapping. Also Paul shoes you the back of the camera so you can see what needs be improved or if you have nailed it. Time just flies by and I look foward to working with Paul and at his studio in the future .

Thanks for a great day and great experience .

I had a brilliant first shoot at Paul's studio with Eddie Ray.

From the moment I arrived at his house he was very helpful including helping of parking my car, showing his beautifully organised studio, warming up the studio, making nice cups of coffee, etc. The changing area was nice and clean. I highly recommend to anybody to shoot at this studio.

Thank you very much and looking forward to shooting at this studio again.

Another superb location event from Pauls Studio. As always, perfectly executed and fantastic fun. You couldn't ask for a better host than Paul with both the organisation and the technical help throughout the weekend. Looking forward to the next event Paul. Very highly recommended.

I have just finished a fantastic studio day at Paul's studio in reading and it was one of the best studio days I have been on. Paul's communication was 100% and he did well in arranging this day for me which was a great success, so much so that we have two further dates in the diary for later in the year during my next tour. His organisation of his studio days are professional and all is confirmed in detail beforehand. The studio is well equipped with a large choice of wardrobe,props and a good variety of sets and any model would love thae nice large clean changing area and choice of aircon if and when required

Paul is such an easy person to talk to and also very humerus with a great personality too. I very much look forward to the next shoot! Highly recommended!

Had a perfect introduction to studio and model photography at Pauls studio in Reading last weekend. Paul is an excellent tutor both easygoing and fluid with his explanations and demonstrations. Being a total novice to this kind of photography, I did Pauls basic starter course which is a three hour session of learning and shooting covering portraiture, glamour and art nude styles. And with the stunning Kelly Hathaway on hand to model for me, I got some gobsmackingly great images almost straight off. There is no shortage of props and lighting equipment and the scope for accommodating image ideas is superb in this compact studio.

Also couldn't believe how much better pictures my fairly basic kit is capable of taking. Paul really opened my eyes to the world of lighting, working with a professional model and even understanding my own camera.

Thanks a million Paul, I'm totally hooked and can't wait to come by for my next shoot with you in September.

Had my second studio day at Paul's at the weekend, and like before it was an absolutely fantastic day! The studio is brilliant - with top quality lighting, modifiers, props and backgrounds along with a lovely dressing room area for models to use to get ready in between sets and shoots. Paul is always so welcoming, professional and friendly and is one of the best studio owners and hosts out there. He was always on hand throughout the day and gave help when needed. Paul made sure my studio day was relaxed and productive. Highly recommended and look forward to working there again!

Another great studio day at Paul's. This time with the delightful Scarlot Rose. As always, Paul is always available for help and advice as required but equally allows photographers and models to "do their own thing" as much as the can / wish.

Thanks a lot, as always, Paul. Really appreciate everything you do to make these shoots a success for one and all.

I had my first (two-day) model days at Paul's studio this weekend and had a fantastic time! The studio is so well equipped, clean and well laid out. Paul was a fantastic host for the weekend and it really couldn't have gone better! Highly recommended to models and photographers alike and I hope to be back as soon as my calendar allows!!

I also got the chance to shoot with Paul one-to-one which was great! Sometimes you just click with someone and every shot feels like its hitting the mark, with the exception of a slight confusion over a skin tone to begin with, today was definitely one of those shoots! I felt creative, relaxed and inspired during the shoot and the boc images looked awesome! Paul is super easy to work with, polite and respectful and I'dlove to work with him again!

All in all a great weekend,

Thank you again!

My fifth visit to Paul's last Saturday to photograph the lovely Charliee.

As always the comms. was clear, concise and timely. Paul is very helpful and knowledgeable and will help and advise with lighting if and when you need it, and happy to leave you alone if you don't.

The space is compact but extremely well appointed with Bowens lighting, interesting props, backgrounds and a deceptively large array of clothing.

The atmosphere is always warm and friendly which makes for a relaxed shoot, a happy model, and excellent results.

Thoroughly recommended

I had a wonderful experience of working with Ayla at Paul’s studio. Had gone thorugh the casting on this website and so glad that I did. I am new to the studio experience and Paul made it so much easier by explaining the equipment, setting it for me. As I don’t drive, my concern was not getting what I wanted after travelling to his studio, but after the shoot I am glad I took the extra step to head down to Reading to shoot. It is very well equipped with some great backdrops and interesting props. Paul is always around to help and provide ideas / suggestions. Very friendly atmosphere and I had a pleasure to work with Ayla. Got some great shots (which I had not even expected). Looking forward to many more events / castings. Thanks Ayla and Paul. I would highly highly recommend this place.

Had another fantastic studio day at Paul's a couple of weeks ago. As always pre comms were fantastic, he was incredibly helpful to any photographers that needed it, some great new equipment in the studio and all round a brilliant place to work as a model :) Paul is so friendly and fun too, highly recommended by me as always!

I had the pleasure today of working with Grace Fae at Pauls studio my first time with both, I had heard great things about the studio and they were not misplaced .

The studio although compact is very homely well equipped with Bowens lights, modifiers,and props with a great assortment of backgrounds.

Both models and Photographers were well looked after by Paul who was both helpful and very knowledgeable concerning lighting set-ups.

The Studio itself is warm, homely and very welcoming and I recommend it to anyone who wants a well equipped studio with a friendly atmosphere and a great variety of beautiful and talented models on the books.

Highly recommended.

I come off the back of another great shoot with Tanya Atherton.

Pauls studio is the place to be if you want a good studio, with good lights, lots of props and lots of options with different backgrounds and props. I use Pauls studio a lot and I have to say its a great place to work. Paul is a great studio owner and host. He will help you get set up and suggest things when its asked. I highly recommend Pauls Studio, I've produced some of my best work there.

After hearing such great things about Paul's Studio, I finally had the opportunity to hold a Studio Day there yesterday and it was fantastic! Communications prior to the day were brilliant. When I arrived, Paul was very welcoming and instantly made me feel relaxed (I had only done a few Studio Day's before!). Paul is down to earth, lovely to talk to and had organized the day very well. He is extremely helpful to all photographers and is a master at lighting - giving great suggestions along the way. Paul is always happy to help and nothing is ever a problem. The studio is amazing - fully equipped with top quality equipment, props, rails full of clothing and a changing room for models with a light up mirror. I thoroughly enjoyed my Studio Day at Paul's Studio. Highly recommended and hope to use the studio again soon :D

I have used Paul's Studio for some years now and always enjoy my shoot. The choice of models is exemplary and the facilities at the studio are excellent. I have tried others but I find Paul's approach to be very good. He will provide help if required otherwise he will leave you to do your own thing which I really like. ( and I think the models like this approach as well)

After reading all of the excellent references, I booked a taster shoot at Paul's Studio with the lovely Layla Lee. It was an absolutely fantastic experience! Paul is a wealth of knowledge, extremely friendly and above all else a fantastic tutor. Two hours of feedback and pointers from Paul accelerated my journey up the learning curve considerably. The studio itself is a great creative space to work in - lots of lighting options, a good array of props and backdrops and, warm. . good coffee as well!

Would I recommend a taster shoot at Paul's Studio? Yes! Without a doubt it was the best photography-related investment I've ever made.

Looking forward to my next shoot at Paul's Studio!

Well I had the most fantastic studio day at Pauls Studios! I really love Paul, we got on really well and felt like we'd known each other ages! I felt so very welcome and really did have a brilliant day, I really hope to work with Paul again when I am briefly in August! Highly recommended.

Although I have known about Pauls Studio for a long time this was my first visit. I went for a shoot with Sophia Blake which Paul had organised. Booking the shoot was really easy as Paul is well organised and very experienced at arranging these events. The studio is well set up with plenty of props and Paul is on hand to help with setting up. I have no doubt I will be returning again in the future.

Thoroughly enjoyed my first "Manor House" day with Paul. Great location, great models, smoothly run and Paul always on hand to assist/advise if required. Only scratched the surface of the possibilities in one day so I hope to be back in future.
