I had the pleasure of working with Paul for the first time during a Summers Abroad event and what a joy it was. Although we didn't work together 1-2-1 he worked well with his partner, taking it in turns to shoot and Paul was always respectful and mindful of me throughout. He worked hard throughout our shoot together and I felt comfortable in his presence. Although only a character reference I was extremely happy with how the mini shoot went and I would absolutely work with him in the future!

Thankyou for a wonderful shoot!

We can't begin to say how lucky we feel to have had Paul along with us, for a week long adventure, in Iceland this year. He really did make it feel more like a holiday with friends than a work trip.

Paul is a fantastic photographer; enthusiastic, skilled, conscientious of conditions, models and other photographers alike. Truly a joy to be around and to work alongside. We could only hope to host him again.

As anybody whom has visited will likely tell you, Iceland is far from predictable, and to make the most of it you really have to roll with the punches. Paul had the patience of a saint and was more than willing to suffer the early mornings, late nights, long drives and weather, to come away with some truly beautiful images. His wonderful attitude throughout made our job a dream.

Paul, we look forward to seeing you again before too long!

Kieran and Cariad.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Paul again after a few years! Paul is an absolute gentleman, so incredibly kind and arrived with a big smile, wine and flowers! :)

We worked together in my little studio "Heavenly Bodies Studio" and had such a blast shooting a mixture of Fashion to Art Nudes. Paul gives great direction, the lighting was wonderful and I really look forward to seeing the results!

The highest of recommendations to all models and creatives. Paul is a complete Gem. Thankyou for a wonderful day and I really hope to catch up in the New Year, Helen x

Basford Hurst Cottage Photography Location

Paul came to Basford Hurst Cottage to shoot with Cariad Celis and Ivory Flame on their duo studio day.

It was an absolute pleasure to welcome Paul to Basford, especially as he lives over three hours away in Kent!! He arrived on time with everything he needed for the shoot. He worked well with both models throughout the day and brought loads of enthusiasm to everything he did.

Paul was always respectful of our location and made sure to ask if he needed anything or was unsure of anything. He is polite, friendly, easy to talk to and I would highly recommend him!!! Welcome back to Basford any time!! Thank you Paul!!

Huge thanks to this amazing human for the fantastic opportunity to model from TankSpace alongside Cariad Celis the other day .

We had an amazing 4 hour shoot. 2 hours on the tank and 2 from the rain room. The photos looked amazing and I'm so exited to see the final edits uploaded on here.

Very happy to highly recommend to all. StormBringer is a very generous, professional and creative photographer.

Thank you for everything :)

Yay! another shoot with the legend of the Stormbringer! I honestly cannot rave about Paul enough. I have worked with him on a fair few occasions now, with each shoot hosting its own theme and set of unique challenges, from mist up in the Peak District to the most recent shoot at Tankspace. It is a joy to get the opportunity to work collaboratively with a great photographer like Paul.

For the Tankspace shoot, Paul had the concept of Helmet Newtown meets Jack Vettriano but underwater, with myself and the incredible Irida the shapeshifter working as a duo and ahh what an awesome idea!! When I looked though the photos I was ecstatic, we did a similar set in the rain too which came out equally as amazing. We could have shot all day and I know Paul was brimming with ideas but alas we ran out of time.

Thank you Paul for inviting me on this shoot, I look forward to hopefully working with this dream team again!

As always a highly recommended from me :)

It was lovely to see Paul back at the studio again, it's a shame he lives so far away as he is a joy to have in the studio. He is a really lovely guy, friendly, easy going and easily builds a rapport with the models he works with. He is also very respectful of the studio and everything in it which is always a bonus!!

Absolutely recommend Paul and hopefully see him back again at some point.

I have worked with Paul sooooo many times now and it's always a pleasure but this was our first proper 1-2-1 shoot when I headed down to visit Inspire studio last month.

I loved the images we created and of course, it was a lovely two hours. When my life gives me some peace and quiet I can look through the images myself properly too- thank you :)

Always enjoy working with Paul and we always get such great images. Hope we can do another shoot later this year :) Thank you Paul :)

Worked with Paul recently at The Cottage Studio in Henfield, a very experimental shoot but we got through various different sets and the time just flew by. We had plenty to chat and laugh about and I really enjoyed the whole shoot.

I would highly recommend working with Paul, and we have already chatted about future ideas so I look forward to working together again some time in the future.

Thanks again for a great shoot! :D

My first shoot with stormringer is very fun and creative . He let me freestyle first some fashion and tried a huge hat . The photos look amazing! The idea of light 💡 is great . We tried a lot of creative light in the end ! Really looking forward to the results! Highly recommended!

This was Paul's first visit to the studio as he came on the Dahls photowerks event and what a pleasure it was to meet him. He is a genuinely lovely guy who I'd be more than happy to see at the studio again. He got on really well with everyone in the group event and he even stayed on to help clear up at the end of the event.....there is not many people that would do that!!

His photography speaks for itself and I think because of his nature he builds a great raport with the models to get the best from his shoot with them.

The Dahls Photowerks

We were so happy when Paul booked on to our first ever event ‘Invoking the Masters’ as we know that if Paul comes along we are in for wonderful company and equally wonderful images, and as usual, he didn’t disappoint. We have been lucky enough to work with Paul on numerous occasions both on large events hosted by other ilke minded creatives as well as 1-2-1 on our Peak District tours.


Paul works well in a group or independently, he is patient and attentive whilst also creative and humble. It was a great honour that he came along to support our first big venture in styling a large event.


Thank you so much Paul for trusting our vision and joining us at Inspire Studios, we truly hope you enjoyed being there as much as we enjoyed having you.



If you didn’t gather from the above, Paul comes highly recommended by us, both as a fantastic photographer and a fantastic person to spend time with, always providing a great working atmosphere and beautiful shots.

We can’t wait to see you again soon.


Thanks again,


Caz & Kie

Had such an awesome shoot with Paul from Neon Dreams in Hook a couple of days ago !

Paul and I have shot together numerous times over the years and it's always awesome to work together !

We worked on classical art nude shapes but also Paul brought with him 2 beautiful latex dresses and we shot those too !!!

Very highly recommended of course :)

I came out of retirement for a cyberpunk and bodyscape themed day at Neon Dreams studio and was delighted to work with Stormbringer!

We had already discussed some ideas beforehand and then were happy to let more ideas flow on the day and we shot a huge range of styles, experimented with different looks and had some great conversations throughout the shoot.

Paul brings such passion and enthusiasm to his work and it was a joy to work with him. Highly recommended! :)

It was son nice to see Paul after so many years recently at a workshop ran by at nomad Holm at Aura photographic in Northampton .

Paul is a great person and a great photographer!

I hope to get to shoot together again on 2022 !

No Storm but a lot of fog! Not a problem when our theme was Wuthering Heights though, Paul always knows how to bring the Weather with him and in this case it was perfect!

Yet again another epic shoot with this true gent, it is always a pleasure to work with Paul, he is kind and professional but most of all great company. I have been lucky over the last couple of years to spend anything from a couple of days with him on an organised trip to working 1-2-1 on a day out.

Each and every time I walk away I feel privileged to work with a photographer of his caliber. Paul is gifted in his skills as a photographer and looking through the images on the back of the camera you can see he puts a lot of thought into each image and its composition. Even before taking a shot he looks around at his surroundings to envision what he wants to capture before any clicks. A real professional.

Thank you for another wonderful shoot and I hope I get the opportunity to work with you again :)

Highly recommended!

We had to postpone a possibility of a shoot last year due to the pandemic and I was worried we'd have to postpone again this time round due to the fuel crisis. Thankfully Paul was lucky (unlike me) and filled his car with fuel during a standard stop before the panic began. He kindly went out of his way to pick me up so our shoot could go ahead which I thought was just lovely!

Communications prior to our shoot were excellent. Paul sent me mood-boards with ideas and we discussed styles and themes beforehand. We did a mix of images inspired by Ellen Von Unwerth 'Wicked' and various other themes and looks including gelled lighting which was experimental, very fun and effective!

Paul came prepared with props and a box of interesting clothing such as hosiery, body stockings and bodysuits etc. He even brought along some yummy snacks (always a bonus on a shoot!). He tethered his camera onto his laptop throughout so we could see the photos as we went along which was great! I'm over the moon with what I saw!

Paul is professional, highly respectful and super easy to work with. We chatted and had a laugh and worked at a relaxed yet productive pace.

He is a fantastic photographer with creative ideas and even gets in uncomfortable positions such as laying on the hard, cold floor to get the angles! Paul gave great direction throughout but also allowed me to pose freely and have plenty of input too. A thoroughly enjoyable shoot!

Highly recommended by me!

Paul came back down to the studio this evening with Kelly. A great guy, full of ideas, knew exactly what he wanted to achieve and gave great direction. An easy going, friendly personality.

Highly recommended and always welcome back.
