I have wanted to work with P-J for a while now and finally on Saturday I had this amazing model as one of my character creations, a fabulous Native American Chief... And boy did he do it justice.

P-J travelled an exceptionally long way for us to collaborate on this group shoot, showing his true commitment as a model. The group shoot did not go according to plan through no fault of our own, but P-J never once moaned about having to wait around and having our shooting time halved by the unfortunate situation. During this time he captivated each and every photographer with his models artistic and passionate working ethics. He delivered image after image and brought my character to life. He was truly phenomenal and I'm over the moon with the images that have been edited so far, still with many more to come... He is a truly wonderful gentleman, kind and considerate of all of those around him, showing support to other models within the group and being a fabulous team member.

I really hope this is the start of a phenomenal working relationship because I can't think of anyone I would love to work with more. I would recommend this wonderful man to any photographer, makeup artist, stylist and other models as he would be a phenomenal asset to any shoot whether he is the soul subject, or part of a group. He has a wonderful imagination and his direction and poses are that of a true professional. I am just upset we didn't get longer to shoot and get to know each other a little bit more. He will not disappoint, so don't hesitate to use this male model, I have many more plans so I can collaborate once again with him soon, don't miss out on this amazing opportunity, otherwise I might have to keep him all to myself... Fabulous work P-J... Keep it up and see you soon xxx

Paul and I had a shoot on Saturday for a magazine. Everybody warmed up to him as he's a really friendly and warm person who has the ability to bring people togeher, espescially when they're a little nervous and unsure what to expect as I was. It turned out ot be an amazing day. Paul and I sadly didn't get to shoot but the work he has produced from the shoot is incredible. I highly recommend Paul a great person to work with and I hope we got to shoot soon. xx

Me and Paul shot together a few weeks ago for jon Sparkman, and it was great! Paul is an amazing model. He captures so much emotion in his poses and facial expressions! Which really helped add to what we were trying to achieve! Paul is so proffesional yet still so much fun to work with. Very encouraging and relaxed! Working with him was a complete pleasure and I can't wait to do so again :)

I met Paul when filling a in a vacant space on a shoot with The Apprentice. Basically he's an all round nice guy, very easy going but keen to deliver great results which he obviously does having picked up an FPI from the shoot only a few days later. All good! I'm sure that we'll be meeting again.

This is the third occasion I have worked with Paul and can honestly say he has delivered every time. This was our second trip to London, the first time was lifestyle, this time we ventured off in some pretty hidden old London town places, and achieved a Victorian style shoot then added a few more to our original London lifestyle ones.

We met up with another model in the afternoon and all together had a great day out.

I would always recommend Paul and hope to have many opportunities in the future.

I strongly recommend you take up the opportunity to work with him.

Thanks once again Paul

Having met P-J a few times in the past I'd been looking forward to working with him. He's a really creative guy and clearly passionate about what he does so I was especially pleased that he was able to work with us on an experimental UV shoot at Eyebox Studio this week.

Paul is a really easy guy to get on with and nothing is too much for him on a shoot. He's prepared to put 110% in to ensure a great result and that helped me to get some amazing shots on the night.

Really looking forward to working with Paul again, and I'm sure that's going to be a regular thing.

Thanks again mate - highly recommended!

Worked with P-J recently on a London shoot and what an absolute joy he was to work with. Very supportive, friendly and enthusiastic. We got some wonderful shots despite the moody London weather. I hope I have the honor of working with him again. Thank you for such a lovely day!!! :)

Met P-J for the first time today, brilliant and easy to get on with. Discussed future events before we even started today's shoot which was brilliant cause would without a shadow of a doubt work with him again.

Brilliant to the point whereas we both picked out location spots, which is great because he is a total team player. Professional and continues to do the work until it's correct.

Yes definitely recommended and look forward to working with again, thanks for the opportunity.

I had the pleasure to work recently with Paul on 2 shoots with photographer Sophie Merlo with the most dapper and kind man of UK! He models like it is a second nature for him and he's so concerned about other people!

The second shoot we did together was challenging as I had to play the part of a white slave while he was the black slave trader, and this half naked on a very cold and windy beach. Despite all these difficulties he managed to make me feel at ease and I'm really grateful to him for that!

This was a great collaboration and I strongly recommend you this great man!

I worked with PJ twice on two shoots in two days, all working with other models (guys and girls). Paul is a great model, with fantastic pre-shoot communications. He is reliable, well prepared, on time, works hard, eager to work to get fantastic shots, takes direction well but also has his own ideas - fantastic, and very easy going guy that gets on brilliantly with all the other models. !00 % recommended, will definitely shoot with again. Wish they were all like this ;)

I had the privilege of working with Paul. His communications prior to the shoot were first class. He came well prepared and happy to work hard to get the images. We have several more ideas for shoots in the future. Paul is a true gent and comes highly recommended.

PJ was an absolute gem to work with today - we weren't due to shoot until the late afternoon, but due to a let-down, he was able to shoot several hours ahead of schedule.

He came impressively prepared, with an entire universe of bright colours hidden in his bag that matched the theme of the shoot perfectly.

He was laid-back, able to pose and was happy to get on the ground and risk getting paint on his butt for the sake of the shot.

I also greatly appreciated PJ's willingness to show me ideal shooting locations as well as giving me a quick run-through of Bristol's history.

Overall, I'm super stoked that I got to work with him and I hope we'll collaborate more in the future!

I shot paul in Bristol with a fellow tog, he's really enthusiastic and works hard to get you the shot you want and takes direction well.

Paul is also very creative and has lots of ideas.

Will definitely work together again !

Jermaine Kelly

Paul is so comfortable in front of the camera, posing and following direction, you'd quite easily assume that he's been modelling for many years! I highly recommend Paul as he is very easy going and extremely accommodating.

Worked with Paul for the first time as part of a group shoot.

Paul was fun and easy to work with... flowed from pose to pose.

Paul has great ideas and happy to try anything suggested to him.

We have many more group shoots lined up so look forward to working with him again soon.

Recommend Paul to any photographer/model

I have recently worked with Paul at my home studio. He had many great ideas and we (Paul, Daniel Atlas and I) collaborated on a few. Paul is easy to get on with and very friendly. I am exited about the prospect of working with Paul on the next shoot. Paul hasn't been on the scene for long however he really is a talent. I would defiantly recommend him to any other photographer and look forward to the next shoot.

What a gem of a model PJ is, we had a 70's themed shoot with him. Pre-communications were excellent and he arrived armed with wardrobe.

PJ is very creative and a complete natural in front of the camera, a relaxed, willing and hard working model, the time flew by as we ran through a number of different sets

Looking forward to the next time, one great model

First time I've worked with Paul, and I hope its not the last.

Turned up on time, ready to shoot. Very personable, funny and just really easy to get along with.

Now and more importantly, worked hard to achieve the shoots, and very natural at posing.

I would absolutely recommend Paul to anyone.

Paul is one of the most adaptable people you could wish to work with. This guy goes that extra mile and will not let you down. I've worked with Paul half a dozen times now and he never ceases to amaze me.

Yes he's only been modelling for fun for a few months, but let me assure you.......this guy has got what it takes to deliver.

I know when I shoot with Paul, I'm going to get some great results.

Oh, and he's a thoroughly nice chap too.
