I had a great first shoot in a forest with Paride! He gave me clear direction to achieve the look he wanted. We created something a little but different which was lovely! Got on brilliantly and I'd love to work with him many more times :) Thank you Paride x

My third shoot with Paride ! LOVE working with this man as our relationship of co creatives just keeps getting better and better. He has an instinctive eye for a good image so you don't have to spend too long posing, you can hear his mind whirring away with the thoughts of how he's going to tell the story. I love doing storytelling narrative images with him, he NEVER fails to disappoint. He's punctual. organised, profession, thoughtful, considerate, and GREAT clear direction, fun and at the same time relaxed and just an absolute pleasure to be around. Looking forward to shoot number FOUR very soon. Huge thanks Paride ;-) x

This man is an awesome photographer, lovely, chatty, very positive, and artistic. Paride has such an eye for seeing an image, creating a story or situation, and we got some incredible shots. Due to personal circumstances, I could only shoot for a couple of hours with this fellow but I ruddy well plan to shoot with him again ASAP! So fun!

I highly recommend Ernesto, he's a lovely dude. Get shooty with him! Now!

What a fab shoot!

Pre shoot communications were fab and he was open to ideas and suggestions.

Paride came to me from Luton and even after his long drive was eager to get shooting. He was happy to take my lead on locations and we had great fun location scouting and shooting some very different sets in a variety of places.

Paride has a great sense of humour and I felt totally at ease around him. He explained his way of working before we started and I really enjoyed learning from him. He gives great direction and has a fab eye for light and detail. He is very visual and I'd often turn around and to hear him say 'hold it there' or he'd just snap that moment!

I was drawn to the darkness of Paride's shots and was excited to try something new for me and he didn't dissapoint. We sat and went through the shots on his laptop after we had finished shooting and it was so exciting seeing his work even before the editing process had begun. I have received some final images already and am so pleased.

I would highly reccomend Paride and can't wait to work with him again!

I had a last minute shoot with Paride a couple of days ago in London

So weather didn't go to our plan but we didn't really have a plan we just like to work with what we have ! And we had rain, rain rain and ... Costa?! He was so lovely on the shoot he bought me a costa to warn me up and get to know me on the shoot too, which I really like as without building a repor with a photographer you won't feel as confident to pose ! I believe in that too

Highly recommended

Super shoot, must must do again soon! :)

Yesterday I had the pleasure of working with Paride, in the beautiful city of Cambridge!

Communication was great before the shoot. Paride was willing to travel anywhere for us to shoot, which I thought showed he was very determined to make the model happy and to get the images he wanted!

He definitely knows what he's doing! He brings great imagination to his shoots, which I loved! We went down to the river and even managed to get some shots on a rooftop bar, which was AWESOME!

Paride is very laid back and full of conversation, which made the shoot very easy going and not awkward in the slightest! There's nothing worse than feeling on edge whilst shooting! He was also great at directing, to get the perfect shot.

I can't wait to see all of the results! And I will definitely be working with him again, it was a pleasure!

Highly recommended.

So a few days ago I messaged this lovely man asking how he was?

And some how the conversation turned into arranging a shoot in my home city of Swansea,

Paride and I have shot previously before with Diego,so when he asked if I wanted to shoot again, I didn't hesitate,the children are back in school,

so I jumped at the chance,we didn't really have any concept, all we knew was we would be at the beach :),

Paride has such an artistic mind,he sees something specific and just goes for it :)

I would recommend paride to any one,

he is such a lovely man and one hell of a photographer

Thank you so much for coming all this way to shoot little old me :)

See you very soon I hope sir

Had the pleasure of shooting with paride several months ago. He was the first photographer I had shot with in over 2 years. His work speaks for itself. Paride produces stunning conceptual images and I can't recommend him enough. It were a pleasure being in his company such a polite friendly person. We spent half a day in search for the right locations to shoot in.fantastic photographer , artist and wonderful person. Would highly recommend and I hope to shoot again soon. Thankyou Paride x

Just got back home from a great third shoot with Paride... still buzzing !!!!! :)

The last time we worked together was over an year ago.. and to meet him and work with him again , after such a long time, was an event I was so looking forward!!! We had a great day today - shooting in a derelict place and also at the seaside... Messing about , laughing around... oh - and shooting too :) What we also did was a bit of filming , as he was so kind to help me achieve a video I was always dreaming of. I got so excited today so many times.. everything was just looking great on the back of the camera. And also, the fact that we got so well together and enjoyed our time was so brilliant. I also made him climb over the walls and fences!! He did it so well - so a very big well done again :)

Paride is a lovely guy, he has a brilliant healthy sense of humor and he can make you feel the star of the day :) I absolutely loved every single minute and was so great to work with him again!!

Thank you for a great shoot, I am really looking forward to the results and hope to see you soon again :) Mona x

He has great communication as well as lots of ideas, I have seen images already and I cant fault him.

My first shoot with Paride. It has been a wonderful evening working with an amazing TOG. Every shot taken was within my comfort zone. He is so creative and every shot was captured beautifully. He is full of wonderful ideas. He made me feel comfortable even though he is very friendly. i enjoyed working with him and now looking forward to seeing the pictures as well as working with him again. Models i definitely recommend shooting with Paride.

Definitely recommended!! :D

Just Wow! I had my first location shoot with Paride yesterday and have nothing but the ultimate praise for his skills! He is a true artist with a remarkably positive, laidback attitude that puts models right at ease. His images are hauntingly beautiful and tell a compelling story.

I marvelled at how he instinctively seemed to know what would make a fantastic shot and all his pointers were creatively spot on. Not only that, Paride was very attentive and friendly throughout the shoot, and had a cracking sense of humour which made it a lot of fun. It was an absolute pleasure to shoot with this talented photographer and I would jump at the opportunity to work with him again. Grab him while you can! :-)

Shot with Paride for the first time a couple of weeks ago after long admiring his beautiful work. Pre shoot coms were pleasant, organised and easy. On the day of the shoot we had already discussed our goals and had a very clear vision to aim for. The shoot itself lasted only 2 hours but with the excellent communication, great direction and creative flow I think we nailed the shots we were after almost instantly. Paride is a lovely chap, with a quirky sense of humour and natural creative flare, would be a fine additional to any models portfolio and I heartedly recommend.

Thank you again for the AMAZING photos 😊

I love working with Paride! He's so laid back and ultra-creative - a fantastic mix! His images are always surprising and he sees things in a unique way. I love his way of working (a mix of sudden, interesting, specific ideas and complete freedom to do what you want as a model) and look forward to (hopefully) many more shoots. :-) I have always loved the images we've done together.

Stephanie Dubois

I have shot with Paride a few times now and we always do something different.

He is truly a creative soul, using his photography and videography skills as a channel for that creativity.

He doesn't seem to care what other people think of his work as he does it purely to please himself, which is refreshing and also an enjoyable process to be a part of.

We tried video for the first time on this shoot, and I'll confess I was a little nervous, but when I saw some of the edits he has started to put together I was so impressed.

Paride is someone I always enjoy working with, and someone I hope to work with again

Thanks :)

Highly recommended.

I waited so long for this shoot, I was so excited! Paride was great with communication before and after, and he was an absolute gem to work with. It was a tad wet and windy down on the beaches but was worth it from the photos I saw! Highly recommend Paride, if you get the chance to work with him, do it!

Thank you for trekking down to Devon to work with me, was a pleasure!

I shot with Paride today and what a great shoot it was. He is a lovely person and the shoot was very enjoyable. Communication before and during the shoot was very good. He went through the images will me a lot so I knew we got good results and am very happy with what I have seen. I look forward to shooting with him again and recommend him to all. Thank you Paride.
