I had the pleasure of working with Paul and his wife Kristin during the Studland Weekender in March. Pre-shoot communications were great, he arrived on promptly for our shoot with a great range of ideas that he wished to shoot. We got some very cool and dynamic images which I am very pleased with. Highly recommended.

Third shoot with the lovely Paul and Kristin; this time at the Studland Weekend. I always look forward to working with this wonderful couple as they are such a great team - with Paul's excellent technical ability and Kristin's treasure trove of jewellery and clothes, you can't help but produce great results! We worked through a good number of looks in the time but I never felt rushed when changing or topping up make-up. I look forward to seeing what we get up to next time!

I had a fantastic full day shoot with Paul at Belt Craft studio. Paul is very friendly, professional and lovely to work with. His communication before the shoot was one of the best I've ever come across, very well detailed straightforward emails! It was an absolute pleasure to organise a shoot so smoothly, and it was a great day shooting! Highly recommended! :)

Had a great shoot with Paul and Kristin today in London. Really nice people, very chatty, had some really cool ideas to be shot and they made me feel very welcome. They also made sure I was well fed.

Paul had some really great lighting set ups, for the different themes that were shot and Kristin supplied some great scarves to compliments various looks.

They're both very professional people, who I highly recommend and hope to work with again soon :-)

My shoot with Paul and Kristin was awesome yesterday at Blackbarn studio in Cambridge. They were super friendly and fun to work with. Both came prepared with ideas and clothing which made the shoot flow.

They are both excellent and enthusiastic photographers and it was a pleasure to work with them, I really hope to work with them both again soon

(hopefully you come to Bristol when the weather gets nicer)

Thanks you so much for a brilliant shoot!

I had a very wonderful second shoot with Paul and Kristen as a part of my London tour. As always they were lovely and very approachable with obvious talent in their work. They were very organised before the shoot as I received an email from Paul concerning be about the tube strikes; offering me ideas and options of ways to get around this which made my life an awful lot easier. I would definitely recommend any model to shoot with Paul; he makes you feel completely comfortable and provides a friendly atmosphere with lovely images as a result. Thank you and See you again!

Had another fab shoot with Paul and his wife Kristen a couple of weeks ago! This was my third shoot with them both and as usual they were extremely friendly, accommodating and professional throughout the shoot!

They were both kind enough to get me some breakfast and sort out a lovely lunch and made sure I was comfortable and happy at all times!

Paul is very skilled and confident using both natural light and studio lighting and can manipulate both in order to achieve the highest standard of images. Kristen always brings along gorgeous props and dresses and can make up some wonderful outfits to create dramatic, unique and beautiful shots.

I had yet again another wonderful time working with both Paul and Kristen and can give them the highest recommendation :)

I had a lovely photoshoot with Paul and Kristine. Twe worked so well together as a team. Everything went perfectly. I was surprised by how comfortable they made me feel. I was very relaxed. I would love to shoot with them again and i will recommend to anyone.

I worked with Paul at a studio day a while ago so this was our second shoot. When he approached me about doing a fashion shoot with birds of prey, I absolutely leapt at the chance! Communications were excellent and Paul and his lovely wife were at the station to collect me at the crack of dawn (about 7:30am!) as planned. The day itself went really well, with Paul being very considerate of the cold weather and difficult conditions, and was happy to receive my input as well. The images I've seen on the back of the camera look absolutely amazing so I'm very excited to see those edited. A kind, professional and talented photographer who I'd be delighted to work with again. Recommended.

I had the pleasure of working with Paul and Kristin on a birds of prey shoot that I was invited to come along to, they were lovely and even offered to put me up for the night before the shoot as it would be a very early start,They are a very generous couple and great to work with, I worked mostly with Kristin but from the shots that I have seen on the back of the camera Paul will have some great shots from the day and I look forward to seeing them.

I hope to work with these guys again in the future

Highly recommended

Shot with Paul for the first time yesterday - it was very last minute but went very smoothly; testament to Paul's great communication. Paul came and picked me up from the closest station and immediately I knew it would be a good shoot. Paul is very professional and friendly and having seen some of the shots already from the back of his camera, he has a great eye for what looks great and we frequently liked the same images. I was well watered and looked after - Paul is very considerate and easy to tak too. I hope we can work together again! Thanks :)

Paul and I worked for the 1st time together on Saturday the 17th of September at Blackbarn Studios in Cambridge where I was the model for the girl on the motorbike workshop and also for 2 hours aftet the workshops. Paul is great to have around very easy going and always with a smile on hies face, he loves photography and that reflects on the photos he captures. Time simply flew by and all the results I've see so far they are looking stunning.

I highly recommend Paul to all models and studios, great photographer to shoot and very professional.

Thank you,

Odette

I had the great pleasure of shooting with Paul last week before I want to France, Paul applied to my casting and he just so happened to be 15 minutes away from where I was meeting my next photographer which was so handy and in fact they knew each other so they sorted out times between each other saving me from being piggy in the middle (thank you!). Pre comms were excellent, I knew where I needed to be and what to bring so I wouldn't have to over pack, we got through some great sets of fashion, lingerie, and art nude and we were able to shoot on Pauls back drops as well as around his beautiful home. And towards the end of the day we got a little location work done before the rain came down, all in all it was a fantastic shoot, Paul is so relaxed, friendly, down to earth, easy going and fun to chat with.

Such a brilliant day so I can easily and highly recommend Paul and I know it won't be our last shoot together.

Thank you for a fantabulous shoot,

Last week I worked with Paul and two other photographers during full-day session. They provided a very talented make-up artist and loads of lovely clothes, props and accessories. Everything was well prepared and I will remember the day as a very pleasant meeting with inspiring, kind photographers. I absolutely recommend working with Paul and looking forward to meeting him again.

I worked with Paul and his wife Kristen on a nude and fashion shoot, under challenging light with the threat of rainstorms! Despite the potential for disaster, it was a fantastic shoot and great fun! We shot a variety of looks in different locations and there were some great images in the camera. Paul and Kristen brought snacks and drinks which were very welcome, and were always mindful of my comfort and safety. I would not hesitate to recommend either and look forward to working together again :)

A few days ago I had a great shoot with Paul and two other photographers. We had a fab day together And I think we created some amazing images. I really enjoyed the shoot and I would definitely work with Paul again. So, thanks Paul for the lovely day.

I shot with Paul and two other photographers back in March. Despite a very stressful start to the day where my suitcase full of outfits got lost on my way to London (!!) we still managed to have a very successful and laid back day of shooting. Between the three of them, Karen, Kristin and Paul pulled together some amazing outfits for me to wear, and provided a really brilliant (and lovely) MUA. We pulled off so many looks and sets, I'm really happy with what we pulled out of the bag following a really hectic start. On top of this Paul is so lovely and helpful, I really wholeheartedly recommend working with him.
