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!

This is my 3rd Shoot with Paul and lucky three times each shoot has been good as the last love working with Paul he has a good sense of humor and a breeze to work with.Respectful through out .I feel at aase and creative .We always manage to do lots of different styles and themes comms are always spot on.Paul was trying out some new lights which gave a really nice effect.He brought his lap top so we could see the images on the screen which was really helpful when it decided to catch up computers always seem to have a mind of their own ha Thanks Paul for a great day highly reccomend to other models.

It was so lovely to meet and work with Paul, and his lovely wife, for the first time a couple of days ago, when he answered a casting call to cover a cancellation at Far Forest Studio.

Paul has always been so supportive of my work and, even though we’d never met before, it felt like I’d known him ages. Pre-comms were fabulous; very friendly and clear. Paul is quite simply wonderful company, and our two hours together just flew by. I think the three of us chatted as much as we shot!

Paul decided on a mix of styles including Old Hollywood Portraiture and a Stevie Nicks ‘on stage’ set. These are two of my absolute favourite styles to shoot and there was a lovely, creative atmosphere in the studio.

The back of cams were amazing! With the mix of outfits, lighting and props (including a microphone and stand provided by Paul) we managed to produce some beautiful and authentic feeling images.

It was a pleasure to work with Paul and I hope to do so again in the future! Thanks for a lovely shoot Paul!

Had my first shoot today with Paul. He's a really creative individual, he moves around with his camera, capturing images from different angles and has an artistic eye for photography.

Prior to the shoot communication was brilliant, we went for suited & booted portraits and some quirky arty shots.

Paul is a very polite and extremely professional photographer who is incredibly easy to work with, a lovely person, brilliant, fun and easy to shoot with lots of chatting too. We managed to get an amazing amount of work done together within the 2 hours.

Images from the back of the camera looked fantastic. I highly recommend working with Paul, a true gentleman and I would be more than happy to work together again in the very near future!

Cheers Paul, Nigel WHP :-)

I had the pleasure of meeting Paul on a group shoot at F/8 studio recently for a 1940s workshop.

Paul was friendly and chatty from the get go and a good laugh. He was respectful towards me and the others in the group & also was very helpful during the day with the lighting and equipment. With his knowledge and professionalism it made a good day plus some great images! Recommended :)

Melanie Bond (Butler)

A great location shoot recently with Paul on a Cotswold walk. Paul was well organised and on time. His pre comms were good and the shoot was nice and relaxed. Paul and I did not stop chatting from the moment we met up to when we said goodbye. The shoot flowed really well. We shot in various different places on the walk and even had the bonus on some Bluebells at the end! Hopefully this will give Paul more of a taste for location shoots and build up his portfolio further. Really enjoyed my shoot with Paul and would recommend him to other models. Thanks for a great couple of hours Paul :) x

Paul attended the 1920s Flapper Girl Group Shoot Paul Davies and I were running. I have shot with Paul a few times now and enjoyed every one! Paul is on time, friendly and chatty with the group :)

He is also an extra pair of hands and good at assisting if needed - Studio set ups and lifting things etc.

Paul is very easy going and a relaxed Photographer to shoot with. I would recommend him and look forward to shooting with him again soon. Thanks Paul :) x

Paul came to the Pin Up Workshop at F8 Studio on the 1st. When I met Paul, I felt instantly comfortable around him. He was very relaxed, social and fitted into the group well.

This was my first shoot with Paul. I found him to be very polite, respectful and professional. Pre- shoot comms were very good and expectations were made clear.

Paul preferred to let me direct poses etc and was very open to suggestions on the shoot.

Images were shared generously and in good time, with great communication about editing. I am very pleased with the images themselves and found shooting with Paul an enjoyable experience. I look forward to working with him again.

f/8 Studio

We ran a “One light workshop” last weekend, with Paul as one if the attendees, and what a pleasure it was to have him along. Paul’s communication was excellent, he paid the deposit immediately, which makes our job heavenly. Paul arrived promptly for the start of the workshop, which is always greatly appreciated, and fitted straight in with the group, which is brilliant, as it’s daunting being part of a workshop, but this clearly didn’t phase him at all. Paul was courteous and considerate at all times, to both models and myself throughout the day, he was a great team member, and got on with everyone, which is perfect for any studio workshop or group shoot. We would love to have Paul back at f/8 again, and can’t recommend him enough to any studio, workshop, group shoot, models & photographers etc. Absolute pleasure throughout the 8 hours, thank you so much for such a truly positive experience Paul, Alley :):)

Paul shot here this morning, for his first time and seemed to enjoy the experience along with his model.

All comms leading up to the shoot were great and Paul is polite, friendly and with good time keeping. Respectful of the studio and facilities on offer.

Paul is certainly welcome to return and I'm happy to recommend! – Lee :-)
