Second shoot with Paul,

His pre comms were amazing as always, shoot plan directed me to know exactly what to bring and expect.

Paul is kind and respectful at all points. Felt entirely comfortable throughout our whole shoot.

I would highly recommend Paul to other models!

I had a brilliant first shoot with Paul today.

Right from the start his shoot plan was informative and to the point which is always amazing. I therefore knew exactly what to bring along for outfits and the style of photos we were going for.

On the day Paul was incredibly welcoming, I felt at ease instantly. He is easy to chat and have a laugh with and has a clear dedication to capturing the shot!

I had a brilliant time shooting with Paul, and would highly recommend him to other photographers/models. I’d jump at the chance to work with him again!

My first ever shoot in a studio, i was nervous but Paul made me feel very relaxed and allowed my to work at my own pace, this made the whole experience amazing and i would highly recommend paul for new or experienced models as it is an absolute pleasure.

Paul was kind and professional from start to finish... looking forward to working with him again

Great shoot with Paul and a long time in the making!!

It was definitely worth the wait!! An absolute joy from start to finish.

Paul has charm and charisma in abundance and is such a lovely and genuine person!! His work is top notch too, so I recommend him to anyone who wants to achieve great photos with and equally great character!!

10/10!!

Thank you so much Paul,

Look forward to future projects in front of your lens!!

Had a really lovely shoot with Tugmaster today. It was my third shoot I have had with this lovely gentleman . He made me feel very comfortable and gave me enough direction to make me feel confident but also allowed me to express my own ideas. Before the shoot, he was very communicative and helpful with the styling which made it so much easier on the day. A true kind gentleman and would definitely shoot again with him. It was like working with your best friend yet still professional. Very Highly Recommended!!!

Thank you buddy :-)

Had a really good second shoot with Tugmaster (Paul) at J9 Studios during my recent modelling tour to Gloucester.

Prior to shooting pre-communication was great and things were easy to organise with Paul and his friend John who helped to plan the shoot.

On the day of shooting Paul was friendly when he arrived to the studio and we had a good chat and a catch up before shooting.

Shooting with Paul just works so well! We had such a productive shoot and in a short space of time managed to get lots of different themes and looks.

Such a happy, fun and productive shoot I’d more than recommended Paul and I’d love to shoot with him again in the future :)

Fantastic first shoot with Paul today. Pre shoot comms were excellent, so I knew exactly what to bring and Paul made me feel comfortable from the moment I arrived. He's fun to work with, completely professional and respectful and gives excellent directions. We worked through a number of sets and the time just flew by. Looking forward to seeing the images we produced and really hope we get to work together again. Highly recommended.

I had fabulous shoot with Paul yesterday at J9 at studio!

It was our first 1-2-1 shoot but went great - detailed pre Comms so I knew exactly what to prepare, clear plan for the shoot and lots of fun and chats during taking the photos!

Paul has set up a lovely moody lights and some results I've seen on his laptop were stunning!!

He's a lovely photographer, really enjoyed working with him and looking to work again in the futures!

100% recommend

I had a lovely shoot with Paul at Full Moon Studio as he’d booked a two hour slot with me on my studio day . We started with some portraits and got some lovely lingerie shoots and Paul was a lovely gentleman the entire time and was also capable of holding a decent conversation! We had a great time together and I look forward to seeing the shots we worked together to achieve so would love to work with Paul again should the opportunity present itself!

Had my first shoot with Paul- we had met briefly in the studio previously but it was lovely to get to meet him and work with him properly! When I arrived- early might I add- he was already there with the lights set up and raring to go and that's a little how the shoot went- Paul was great and easy to work with. A lovely guy- very easy to chat to and the two hours flew by in no time at all (he even helped me hunt down my phone when I lost it..... very patiently)! We experimented and went off the shoot plan- which I always think is a sign that the shoot went well- to many ideas popped up they just HAD TO BE SHOT!! The results I've seen so far are fab- really pleased with them and I hope Paul is too! Definitely recommended, thanks Paul, hope this was the first shoot of many!

Had a fabulous recent shoot at J9 studios with the Tugmaster. We shot on the 4th day of my West-midlands tour together in Cheltenham which was only around 40 minutes from Birmingham on the train for me.

Me and Paul were chatting a few times about shooting on purple port during my last two tours to this area but the stars sadly didn’t aline for us. Third time was a charm and we finally managed to get a shoot booked in.

Paul’s pre-coms we’re clear and easy to understand and I knew what to expect from the shoot. On the day of shooting Paul was friendly and easy to get along with from the start. We shot in every lingerie set that I had in my suitcase for the tour haha all 5 of them and did some sheer stuff too. Paul is so easy going and really gives a relaxed low pressure atmosphere to his shoots.

Time flew by as we had a good chat and a laugh and a shoot. More than recommended from me.

It was a complete pleasure to work with Paul, for a boudoir hotel shoot.

His friendly, with good sense of humour, and a true Gent.

Pre coms before, and on the day, was well organised.

Paul’s photography is professional-with a great eye.

He always knows how to capture me,in fantastic angles and lighting.

Our creative ideas, always flow well together, to achieving unique lovely images.

Thankyou Paul , for a fantastic boudoir shoot.😏

Highly recommended to models.

Nice to have Paul attend the low-key group shoot at Alastair Currills studio last Thursday. Paul was early to the studio and was friendly and chatty to myself, Alastair, and the other group shoot members. Paul is always happy to assist and help out if an extra pair of hands is needed and has a relaxed approach when shooting. This is our second low-key shoot together now as we have been experimenting with the style.

I enjoy shooting with Paul and enjoy his company. He is an all round genuine guy and always completely professional and respectful to everyone he shoots with.

Thank you for attending Paul, I love your uploads so far :) x

This was my second shoot with Paul and I couldn't have modelled for a nicer gentleman.

Paul was extremely professional from the start. We had a home shoot around my little home town and Paul always throughout the shoot made sure I was comfortable 1st and foremost! I can't stress how much easier this made our shoot, it felt more like a catch up with an old friend and that we'd shot numerous times before! Not only is Paul extremely warm and hospitable he's fantastic at what he does, his eye for detail and endless ideas as you can see by his amazing work. It was nothing short of a pleasure to work with Paul Thankyou so much.

I would happily recommend Paul to anyone and would definitely jump at the chance to work with him again :-)

I met Paul for the first time when he attended my recent natural light workshop. Paul is a lovely guy, easy to work with, took on board my help and advice and came up with some truly amazing images. I highly recommend Paul and look forward to working with him again.

Had the chance to work with Paul who attended a natural light workshop at my home last week, arrived nice and early. A lovely guy, very friendly and chatty and easy to work with.

I hope I get the chance to work with him again soon.

Recommended by me.

Thanks again for attending Paul ☺️

J9 Studios

Paul shot at the studio today for the first time, with experienced local model Melanie Bond.

I made myself scarce once Paul was comfortable with all the lights etc. and ready to shoot, but enjoyed chatting with them both prior to this and once their shoot was finished for the day. From my perspective I couldn't have asked for more, they were on time, friendly, respectful of the studio and it's props, and left it in the state they found it.

Hopefully Paul got some great shots and enjoyed his time at the studio with Mel. I certainly would have no qualms letting Paul use the studio again.

Fantastic shoot with Paul yesterday at J9 Studios. Paul and I have shot together on group shoots previously, but this was our first 1 on 1 shoot. Paul arrived early, he was organised and we got on so well again straight away. Paul sent me a shoot plan, which was really helpful with what to expect and also what to pack. When the shoot begun, we bounced through each set at a steady pace and got alot of looks shot. We chatted and joked along the way, and it was a very productive shoot! The 3 hours absolutely flew by! Paul showed me the back of camera images too and has already sent me some photos to choose from! The whole shoot was an absolute pleasure, from the fashion looks and lingerie we shot. Paul is a totally stand up gent and respectful at all times. I enjoyed the whole shoot - thanks again Paul :) x

Would of course definitely recommend!

I have met Paul during portrait workshops in Alastair Currill's studio and he was an absolutely pleasure to work with. We've chatted many times in the past but actually never had a chance to work together before!

Paul is a lovely person, very creative and professional - sometimes during workshop is actually really had to get to know someone but I've really enjoyed shooting with him - Hopefully we could work again in the future!
