I have worked with Paddy in my last trip to London and everything was fantastic!

First of all, we had good communication since the very beginning and he proposed lots of ideas for our shoot. Besides this, the day of our shoot was perfect, since Paddy is a great communicator and a easy going person who made the shoot very smooth and relaxed.

I would definitely recommend him to any model who wants to go to England.

I love making pictures with Paddy. It was our third session and hopefully many more are to come. Working with him is so effortless. He's very creative with light and technique, therefore every picture looks great. I would describe his style as cinematographic, candid and tastefully erotic. In addition, he's such a nice person to talk to and just to be around.

I love love everything about the shoot and the pictures and Mr Paddy. Everything was excellent. Pad sourced a gorgeous location, has the best eye for a fantastic capture and has no ego. He's entirely open to artistic maneuvers and new endeavours. So many truly awesome pictures have come from this shoot already. Im very impressed with Paddington. Would prob recommend. I guess 😜

Worked with Paddy for the first time at a recent Creativity hub event. Paddy was really lovely and friendly to work with,he gave incredible feedback whilst shooting which helped me a lot and made working with him even more enjoyable. I admired Paddy for taking on the challenge of working with flash and how he didn’t let it phase him,it was also lovely to see him work in his familiar place of natural light, in either way Paddy’s images looked beautiful from the back of the camera! It’s clear to see from his portfolio he is very talented and can produce amazing photos,I’d definitely recommend shooting with him and I hope to again in the future.

Was great to meet Paddy at the recent Creativity Hub event. He was very friendly and easy to work with and I would happily do a full shoot with him in future

Recommended from me :)

Summers Abroad

Paddy joined the Summers Abroad team on our scouting trip in Las Vegas.

It was super lovely having him there for the week, Paddy is always full of life and has a cracking personality so shoots and also social time with him is always awesome and something I look forward to :)

We put him through his paces as the scouting week is really not easy, but we all had a great laugh anyway and the week was so memorable! It was so sad to see him leave and I hope he can join us on a proper trip away at some point in the future!

I had a GREAT shoot with Paddy.

First of all, he made an effort to find a nice location right next to where I was staying. So sweet of him!

He had a list of ideas he wanted to work on, which was very helpful. He made me feel comfortable and at ease. By the way, I got also introduced to some Irish music :D

And the best part is that I basically love every single picture we made (well, I've only seen them on the back of the camera, but that doesn't make me doubt).

He's a very talented and a very kind person.. Would recommend him anytime to anyone :)

I met and worked with Paddy for the first time at my house.

Paddy's Pre communication was fanstastic and he turned up on time.

He's such a sweetheart!. And fun to work with person! Pictures looked pretty awesome on the back of camera and I cant wait to see them after editing!

I'n looking forward to my second shoot with Paddy!

100% recommended !

Who-teh-feck doesn't like working with Paddy? He is the most awesome photographer, comedian, gamer & all round guy.. he's a mate of mine, but I don't think this reference is any less valid.

I have to say, not many photographers have had a sense of humour to warrant me getting a stitch within the first 10 minutes of meeting, bahaha. We have shot together 3 or 4 times now I think, and been to many more socials..

There is literally nothing else to say.. oh yeah, his work is the dog's B.. yep.. fantastic..

THANK YOU!

When a photographer cries out "YASSSSSS QUEEN" as you strike a pose...well, you just know you are going to get on!!

I met and worked with Paddy for the first ever time this weekend at the Guys Cliffe event organised by Nicole Rayner.

Paddy is EPIC to work with. Such a lovely guy, fun, friendly, OMG such a laugh! I adore the images we created and I had a blast working with him. I just wish we hadn't left it so many years!

Paddy has a great eye for an image and put his own Paddy twist on the 'art nude' theme which was great. Yasssss Queen indeed!

Thank you so much Paddy- I can't wait to see the results from the shoot and I really hope we can do it again one day. :D :D

I honestly couldn't tell you how many times I have shot with this guy!! Which should tell you something... :D

Without a doubt one of thee best photographers I've ever shot with and had the absolute pleasure of getting to know and calling a friend.

Paddy it like the gay best friend, but without being gay ( at least I don't think so anyway :P JOKES!! ) HAHA. He recently spent 2 nights girly sleepovering with myself, Nicole Rayner and my sister too. We had such a laugh - it was brilliant!

Paddy was one of the photographers booked on Nicole Rayner's Art Nude Workshop at Guys Cliffe. I was sooo happy when I found out.

A abundance of skill, pure talent with shooting natural light and composing images that you just know 'That's a Paddy shot'. He has the eye for captures pure feminine imagery and he always gets the pure essence of me.

I honestly could go on and on about this guy but I don't want to bore you or take too long a space on his page!.

If you get the chance, don't hesitate.....take a running jump :)

Thank you always, Tillie x

ONE OF THE MOST AWESOME PHOTOGRAPHERS EVER! AND SUCH A FUNNY AND AWESOME PERSON!

YOU’RE LUCKY IF YOU GET TO SHOOT WITH PADDY!

Enough said really….

Without a doubt one of my favourite photographers I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with during my time as a model. Paddy is punctual, funny, energetic and chatty. He is technically proficient and an excellent photographer. A great talent, with a knack for interesting angles. He is open to suggestions and happy to execute spontaneous ideas, even without much clarification from me.

Our shoot was 8 hours, but I’d do it all again today and tomorrow. I recommend him highly, he ticks every box.

Thankyou paddy, I can’t wait for the results.

I worked with Paddy yesterday at The Hacienda, London, both on my own and also in Duo Shots with the gorgeous Nicole Rayner, and to say that it was an absolute joy would be an understatement.

Paddy is a very friendly, professional and talented Photographer, and such an amazing person too. I am personally massively humbled to be the first ever Male Model that he has worked with,even though it seemed as if he has worked with so many before, he was right on point with everything that he did.

Paddy is very easy to work with, and he came up with some brilliant ideas as well. He helped to make it a fun and relaxed environment,which helps so much in getting the best images possible.

I would highly recommend Paddy to anybody, and I would really love to work with him again in the future.

My first shoot with Paddy at the great Hacienda location, Paddy's pre communication was excellent and the shoot was relaxed but also very productive. Paddy was very easy to work with and goes to every effort to make sure you are comfortable. The shoot was a lot of fun and the photos came out beautifully!

I hope to work with Paddy again, Highly Recommended!

Had an awesome shoot with Paddy doing some Lara Croft cosplay in the woods!

The weather wasn't on our side it was pretty chilly but Paddy was really laid back and made sure there were lots of warm up breaks :)

The shoot went great I really enjoyed it so excited to see the images!!!

Highly recommended!

I shot with Paddy for the second time in Spain with Photofinca and it was a fantastic experience! Paddy is super chilled,focused and always up for a laugh. We rocked Spain and shot at a number of stunning locations and also around the villa which worked out pretty well too. Theres lots of variety in Paddy's work, his lighting and composition is spot on. I love his attention to detail and we really teamed up to make the images the best they could be. It was very cool to work with Paddy on a more 1-to-1 basis, and I have no hesitation in reccomending him, we all know Paddy is AWESOME! Always professional, considerate and creative. The shots on BOC blew me away, and I can't wait to see the edits. Cheers Paddy for making the trip legendary :)
