I did enjoy working with Paul!

It has to said that this was definitely a slightly more interesting shoot for me. The idea that he had me doing was certainly something that I had never done before. Change isn't always good but, this idea was an exception as the idea was a lot of fun to create!

Paul is a caring, considerate type of photographer, he is definitely one of the good eggs. I do hope to have the opportunity to work with him again, and I would highly recommend him to all!

Third time lucky !!

After 2 false starts , be it planes, trains and automobile-esque transport failures or mother nature keeping us apart it was great to FINALLY work with Suffering4Art at their unconventional home studio !

Upon my arrival , Paul was polite, chatty and hospitable. putting me at ease and we chatted and recapped what we had in mind to shoot ! During our time we explored a variety of props and in preparation Paul was incredibly respectful when helping me and meticulous with fine details. Aside from the themes of their work ,they are certainly an artist with a strong vision and signature style of photography.

I greatly enjoyed my shoot and would happily recommend them! I hope to join forces again during my next visit to the area again in January ! (fingers crossed!)

Yesterday was my first shoot with Suffering4Art, with ChristianRed stepping in to do the rigging, with his assistant. I'd actually been really quite nervous at the prospect of approaching and then working with such an established and renown photographer, but any nerves vanished instantly upon meeting him. S4A, in his pre-communications, was thorough and made sure that everything was covered, in addition to giving me the room to contribute any ideas - I really felt like my voice was heard. On the day of the shoot itself, he picked me up from the train station. The pace was relaxed, and he is very easy to develop a rapport with. The shoot itself was fun, with all three of us pitching in ideas. I am super excited to see the results. I highly recommend S4A to new and experienced models alike.

Had a fabulous first shoot with Paul. He very kindly collected me and dropped me off at the station.

Communication, rapport, direction, skill and humour superb. I really enjoyed the shoot and could have carried on all night, loved his studio, loved his vast prop collection.

To top it off he has four gorgeous cats who were trying hard to be in on the shoot.

I highly recommend Paul, fascinating knowledge of chemistry, loved our chats.

Thanks so much, can't wait for our next shoot, must work through your list. xx

This was my second shoot with Suffering4Art and once again I had a lovely time. I had contacted Paul hoping he would be willing to collaborate and shoot my head shaving. It was a big moment for me and I wanted to make the most of it with some great images. Paul immediately understood what I was going for and I really struggled to narrow down the final image choices.

Paul is very respectful of his models and did an excellent job of capturing the moment, giving direction when need be but not interrupting the natural flow of things too much. I was very glad I asked Paul to be involved in this project and would not hesitate to recommend him to others, especially if you are wanting to shoot something a bit different.

My first shoot with Paul at John Duder’s lighting workshop. A real pleasure to work with and I love the images I’ve seen. I’m looking forward to shooting again in the new year

I had a great shoot with Paul; he was a joy to brainstorm with, committed to getting that perfect capture and provided the edited images at record speed.

He also went that extra mile driving me to and from the train station, and keeping us well supplied with tea and biscuits.

I'm looking forward to shooting with him again!

Wow, what can I say about suffering4art, an absolute delight to work with, Ive done a few shoots now with him over the years. Has an amazing imagination and is very creative. I love collaborating with him on shoots to make sure we get the best out of it. Has various props and a wonderful lil studio in some of his best work has been created. Hope to plan many more shoots in the future with him, highly recommended and a pure gentleman, with a very sadistic/creative streak. Thank you for producing some of the wonderful images you have of me. see you soon x

I have worked with Paul on a number of occasions now and they have often been brilliantly long (10 hour) and varied throughout the day with perfect stops for lunch and coffee.

He is a brilliant photographer an great with creative ideas and trying lovely sadistic things out. He makes you feel completely at ease and he was absolutely amazing. Someone that I would quite happily call a friend and go back to time again.

Thank you lovely!

I've wanted to work with Paul for very long time now, yesterday I got to do it and I was amazed rather than disappointed. As a photographer he knows what he is doing he gives direction to achieve the best possible photograph, open to ideas trying out new themes. As a person he is lovely and got very far to make me feel comfortable during the shoot. From what I've seen we made some smashing images. Wouldn't hesitate to work with him again. I do totally recommend him :)

I have been wanting to work with Paul for many years now and we finally did it! The shoot was so much fun and the results looked amazing on the back of the camera. If you get chance to shoot with this awesome talented photographer snap the opportunity straight up! I cannot wait to finally have some of his work in my portfolio! Thank you Paul for such an amazing shoot! Can't wait to work with you again :)

I had my first shoot with Paul and had a wonderful time. He was very warm, friendly and funny, putting me at ease and making sure I had a great day as well as great images.

As we were shooting rope work with Christian_red, Paul's experience and professionalism really showed. While the rigger was working his magic Paul made sure the lighting was perfect and ready to go, always available if an extra pair of hands was needed and then leaping into action as soon as the ropework was ready.

I was very happy with the images we produced and the turn around for beautifully edited images was so quick! I would happily recommend Paul to anyone and hope to work with him again soon.

I had my first shoot with Paul and it was great, he is easy to get along with and very professional. He makes you feel comfortable straight away.

Paul had some good ideas to try and we have created some awesome images.

I would highly recommend and would love to work with you again.

Worked with S4A twice now and loved every minute of it. Extremely lovely and made me feel welcome from the moment I walked through the door.

Full of wonderful ideas and created some beautiful images. I would 100% work with again and recommend him to anyone wanting to do a shoot with a difference.

So trust me and Paul to arrange a shoot on the hottest day of the year lol, despite the weather we did get some great shots, I love working with Paul I feel like I've known him for years, he's very imaginative, artistic. Considerate and professional and this is why I contacted him for another shoot, Paul always delivers no matter what. I am looking forward to our next shoot! 😀 Thanks Paul x

I've worked with Paul a couple of times and have had a great experience. He's literally bursting with ideas but also willing to let the model contribute ideas too. He has an excellent grasp of the shots he is trying to capture. I love doing shoots with an element of challenge. Being chained to to the wall by the ears, being hosed down naked in a birdcage in the backyard, passing skewers through my nipples, straddling a burning rope... you certainly get a challenge with Paul. In the nicest possible way :) Highly recommended.

I had the brilliant pleasure of shooting with Paul at a duo studio shoot along side the incredible Miss_Rose. What a lovely gentleman, Paul arrived with bags of props for us to work with, Paul was our last photographer on the day so we were able to work in the wet room in shower with him, and I must say I'm excited to see the final shots.

Paul was so down to earth and easy to work with, he was happy to let us go with the flow or give direction when he had an idea, I would happily work with him again and recommend him to anyone.

Thank you for a great ending to the day,

I have lost count the amount of times I've worked with Paul!

We have worked from his home studio, on various locations and this weekend at LP Photografix studio.

Paul is full of creativity and I find him a true inspiration! I think we could work together every day and still keep thinking up new and crazy things to shoot between us!

I also feel very privileged to have been part of his recent exhibition!!

Very highly recommended from me :)
