Worked with Natalia Forrest yesterday at Paul's Studio, where I have worked many times before. Paul's Studio is incredibly well equipped, always clean and tidy with a good selection of props. Paul is always on hand to make sure you get the shot you want. His communications are always first class. He is to be commended on the way he runs his studio. If you haven't worked there yet, you won't be disappointed.

Paul is so wonderful to work for! An excellent photographer and photography tutor.

I modelled for him on a lighting tuition session - he's such a brilliant tutor - even I learn't lot's too!! Really good at explaining how to achieve different lighting set ups and gave very good advice when shooting/working with models.

After the tuition, we managed to squeeze in a shoot together - and we achieved so much in a relatively short space of time. The images look amazing.

Paul is a really lovely guy and very professional. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him - highly recommended!

What can I add, that hasn't already been said in previous references. I have learnt so much from Paul, having started my glamour photography at Paul's Studio, nearly two years ago. I have enjoyed and benefited from his courses, studio events and fantastic location shoots with superb professional models.

Help is always on hand, setting up the studio and what he does not know about lighting is not worth knowing!

I would not hesitate to recommend to any models, photographers looking for somewhere to do a photo shoot. Highly recommended and thanks for all your help Paul.

I've had four shoots at Paul's now, all of which were model event days. I've also been to one of the location shoot days that Paul has organised, and am booked onto another in May. My last shoot was this weekend, and as usual I got fantastic results

The studio itself is very well equipped and is a very good size, and can be set up to shoot a variety of different backgrounds and backdrops. However I think the most important asset of the studio has to be Paul himself. As a beginner, Paul offers useful and honest advice for lighting and set up, as well as directing models and suggesting poses. However he does this without taking over the shoot and ensures that you get something good out of your time there. I've had some shoots where I've asked Paul for help every twenty minutes or so, and others where I'm good to go and he's left me to it - either way, he's been fantastic. On my latest shoot, I brought a book with me of shots I wanted to do something similar to, and Paul was brilliant at suggesting and helping put together setups.

Needless to say, I'm going to be shooting at Paul's a lot more in the future!

I have been using Paul's studio now for coming on five years. I have found Paul to be extremely helpful and have done in my early years a couple of courses with him which must have been good as I'm still using the studio years later. I have used other studios but just keep coming back - help is always on hand, the array of props on hand is outstanding and the studio is just the right size to achieve whatever mood one has in mind, lighting and backdrops no problems either place is well kitted out and I would not hesitate to recommend to any models, photographers looking for somewhere to do a photo shoot. Highly recommended and thanks for all your help over the years Paul.

I would definitely recommend Paul's studio.

I had a studio day there today, and found Paul to be one of the friendliest guys ever :P.

He is very dedicated to providing a service that is really good value for money in all aspects, and is very chatty, laid back and helpful.

The studio is very well equipped and clean and tidy, with lots of options for shooting.

And just when I thought I'd seen it all he seemed to pull props out of the walls!

Paul is also very knowledgeable about photography and is a patient and helpful tutor for new photographers.

He made me feel very relaxed and welcome and is very hospitable.

Am back there soon and can't wait.

I had a 2 day 1-1 custom adult course with Paul and Ashlea Louise in September. I have lots of photographic experience and Paul was great at not trying to teach me what I already knew. Pre-course communication was beyond excellent and we all knew exactly what was expected in advance of the event. I had very specific requirements for lighting techniques that would meet my needs and yet be both portable and extremely fast to set up and use in a situation requiring many hundreds of images.

Paul was very welcoming and the model, Ashlea Louise, was a dream to work with and is one of the most experienced models worldwide in the industry. I was especially grateful for the way Paul showed me what I needed and then left Ashlea and me alone to get on with it but was available to help when needed. Ashlea Louise was also incredibly patient and encouraging and freely gave me the benefit of her huge knowledge of the adult industry. This gave a safe environment to make and learn from mistakes.

They were both real stars and I left with the confidence to go out and do what I wanted. I have now been published and will be ever grateful to Paul and Ashlea Louise for getting me started.

Paul gave me the excellent advice to find and use a great local studio near where I live and this advice is proving to be gold quality too.

Highly recommended.

Working with Paul is always great.

I completely trust him to make great bookings with quality people for me, and enjoy the studio facilities- everything is up together and Paul really supports his customers so it's a great atmosphere.

I also love working with Paul myself, he's just created another set of brilliant headshots and sexy body shots- he produced the first headshots I ever really loved- he really brings out the best in a model- so positive and encouraging- a total gem.

Every shot from our shoots was a winner- it seems just a piece of cake for him to produce excellent lighting and composition every time with hardly a moments thought- that's experience for you!

Since my first shoot at Paul's Studio in January, I have been back a number of times (7 times in total) - which should give some indication of how good the facilities, environment and assistance are at the studio (particularly considering that I live about an hour away...). I've had the pleasure of shooting both through Paul's studio days (Holly Gibbons, Natalie Forrest, Danielle Maye & Amanda Jayne) and just hiring the studio and providing my own model (Emma J Black) - and have found no issues whatsoever with any of my visits... Quite the opposite - I learn something new each time I visit, and Paul positively encourages inventive and creative lighting techniques and is more than happy to share his knowledge and expertise. It's always a pleasure shooting at Paul's...

I've done two studio days at Paul's now, the first being a 3-hour starter course and my first real entry into photography. The course was fantastic, and I was able to work with a very high-profile model (Hayley Marie Coppin) who was also a joy to work with. Paul was brilliant at explaining different lighting and shooting techniques, and mixed things up so I could get a good feel of several different styles and see what I liked.

The second shoot (with the fabulous Becca Leah) was just as brilliant. I was left more to my own devices this time, but Paul was always on hand to help out if needed.

Shooting at Paul's is a 10/10 experience, especially for newbie photographers like me. Not only this, but it's 15 minutes walk from where I live! I'll be calling round at Paul's a lot more in the near future.

Creative Nonsense

Having just undertaken a Custom Creative Nude and Erotic Course at Paul's Studio I wanted to go on record to say how delighted I am.

From start to finish Paul has been friendly and supportive yet challenging, whilst at the same time the ultimate professional.

His tuition wasn't restricted to the time in the studio and nothing felt like too much trouble. Throughout the experienced I was treated as an individual and felt valued, more so than I expected, even from a custom course.

Paul arranged for the fabulous Natalia Forrest to be my model for the afternoon and this together with Paul's incredible teaching ability (and I work in training so hopefully recognise a good trainer when I see one) turned it into one of the most fabulous, rewarding and productive afternoons ever.

The studio is great with what seems like an endless supply of high-quality lighting, fittings, props and accessories... oh and not bad coffee and cold drinks too!

I learnt so much is such a short space of time, got some wonderful images under Paul's expert guidance and can't wait to book another session there to practice all Paul taught me.

Excellent value and highly recommended.

I attended my first studio day at Paul's Studio in January this year & having made it clear beforehand that I was inexperienced in shooting models, Paul ensured that everything ran smoothly. Together with Nina Leigh, he introduced me to studio / model photography and helped me to produce some excellent images. A great environment to work in and excellent support and assistance when needed.

I've worked at Paul's studio many times now and always enjoy it. The studio is great, with plenty of posing props, a music system and a dedicated model changing area which is much appreciated. Paul has perfected the art of lending a guiding hand to photographers, offering his input and expertise in getting the lighting and set up just right depending on the photographer's goals, but also knowing when to leave the photographer and model to it, being just a dedicated doorbell ring away! He is very friendly and helpful, always on hand with a cup of tea and a chat. Very highly recommended!

I had the pleasure of working with Paul on few occasions in his studio in Reading also on a photography course and a studio day.

Paul is friendly, professional and very creative.

I can recommend him to anyone and am happy to work with him again.

Many thanks!
