I don't think I have ever met anyone in my time, in and out of the business of photography, quite as dedicated, professional, creative and passionate about the art as this man. Paul came to my humble abode yesterday, along with the lovely Jan, to work with the inimitable Sophia West and I cannot begin to describe just how prepared he was and how downright professional he was to meet and work with. As a team with Jan they are quite simply the perfect combination of hard working, creative and great fun to be around. No wonder they work so much together, they just compliment each other so well in their work and inspirations.

A lot of people could learn an awful lot from Paul about what it is to be a professional photographer working with models. PLUS they can learn an awful lot about the technical aspects of lighting (myself included) and composition and capturing that special image instead of thousands of possibles. Paul knows what he wants, and boy does he know how to get it. He very kindly showed me what he took throughout the day and his work is just awesome to say the least.

Added to that, I got to actually work with him as a model for one of his sets with Sophia, and I don't think I have had so much fun in a long time. We had an absolute blast, and he took some fantastic images as a result. I think both our sense of humours are on the same level, but unfortunately going over the ladies heads most of the time!!!

To sum up, Paul is VERY welcome to use my humble place anytime he ever wants, be it on his own or with the lovely Jan. Models should also be extremely honoured to work with this man and the lovely Jan too. You will not have a better shoot anytime soon. Sophia left here not long after I finally got them out of my house ( just kidding Paul, you know that right, I could have chatted all night:)) grinning from ear to ear and saying she absolutely adored working with Paul and Jan.

*** VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED*** To studio's, models and photographers alike. I am looking forward a great deal to working with Paul again soon, and his partner in crime too of course.

I had a photo shoot with Zeiss57 on 2nd of April.

We did a lot of shoots included art nude and I felt very comfortable as he is such a professional and nice man!

I would reccomend him to everyone who is new or advanced as you will have a fantastic outcome and a great experience!

Thank you:) I enjoyed to work with you and hope to do more in the future!

Had my first of what I hope will be many shoots with Paul last Friday (Sorry in the delay in putting this up but Easter got in the way!).

He arrived on time & his pre shoot comms were excellent.

Paul is a smashing guy & a truly excellent photographer. He put me totally at ease & the 3 hours flew by!

Initial images looked good & the first few edited ones I have seen are superb!

Highly recommended to all models.

Thank you Paul I am already looking forward to our second shoot

I filled in on a shoot for Paul due to his initial model falling ill. Paul arrived on time, was polite and very respectful. I got on with him very well and had a very relaxed enjoyable shoot.

Despite having not planned anything specific we decided on a few things to try and managed to fill our time with a good amount of fashion, lingerie and art nude. It was a great success and I had a lot of the fun. The image I have seen so far sets a great bar for the rest of the results; which I cannot wait to see. I highly recommend working with Paul and looking forward to our next shoot soon.

Yet another most enjoyable shoot with Paul and as always great to work with him. I am always more than happy to accept a shoot with Paul. He always produces quality images he is very talented, professional and so lovely to work with. As I have said before I highly recommend him to any model.

Had my second shoot with Paul on Monday at my summer house studio room :) Paul brought along professional equipment lighting and backdrops and took the time to set everything up. and was just as good as our Last shoot that was on location and in another studio. Paul is very professional and talented photographer :) I was so pleased with the results of our last shoot I can't wait to see the finished pictures from this one. I would highly recommend others to work with Paul :) I will definitely be using he's pictures to update my portfolio's :) we have already booked our next shoot at my cottage location and really looking forward to working with Paul more :)

I have worked with Zeiss 57 on several occasions , we have worked with several models together ,his knowledge of lighting is second to none, anything that needs attention will be seen to, if all you want is lots of light and no shadows looking just like 2d than that's ok but if you are looking for something different, that is shadows and light looking like 3D and so much better then he is the one to talk to, I would recommend Paul 100% if you are looking to update your portfolio .

Thanks for your knowledge Paul

I worked with Paul for the first time last month and have another shoot with him coming up. our first shoot was a retro theme and we worked with another photographer Jan as well who I have worked with before. we all met up first to discuss concepts and ideas for the shoot and I think it really shows in the pictures how well planed it was. we shot partly on location and 2nd 1/2 of shoot in studio so got lots of different sets in various retro styles. the outfits were all provided and all amazing had great fun wearing them :) Paul is very professional and easy to get along with and an amazing photographer I absolutely luv all the pictures and will defiantly be using them. cant wait for the next shoot!

thanks jen :)

Yet another great shoot with Paul. We shot at the studio igloo and had a brilliant day. I always love shooting with Paul... He's great! He has so many ideas and the end results are always wonderful. I've said before but I can highly recommend Paul to any model and I know we will get to shoot again sometime...well at least I hope we will! :)

Thanks Paul xx

I finally met Paul at a group studio shoot, we had communicated beforehand and it was a pleasure to finally meet him. He was easy to shoot with, knowing what he wants from each set and happy to give direction when needed. I am hoping to work with Paul again on some more relaxed shoots as i believe we can work very well together to make some great images. Would recommend ;)

Jolie Anne

I had the wonderful pleasure of working with Paul again last week. This time he came to my home so we could shoot one to one instead of in a group as we usually do. He came along with everything we needed to get the best possible images. I absolutely love Pauls work and always get images that I'm over the moon with. Paul is such a nice person, totally respectful of my levels and an absolute pleasure to work with. I can't recommend him enough :)

Thank you Paul x I look forward to the next time :)

Had so much fun shooting with Paul today (as always!). We got loads of looks done. Focused on some fashion shots, something a little abstract and finished off with implied. Throughout all, Paul remained professional. I loved the lighting set ups that Paul used today, every time we shoot we always end up with something different- versatility all the way! His pre communications are faultless.

Thanks again Paul :)

Dana Cressida

Wow! What can I say? Yesterday's shoot was amazing! Not only did we have fun, we got some great results!! Paul is so much fun to work with, his pre comms are great and is always well prepared for the shoot! I have so much fun working with him and would recommend him to all. Thanks again Paul, I look forward to our next shoot!

Jolie Anne

I have worked with Paul on a few occasions now and every time has been a pleasure working with him. Paul is just the most lovely person to work with and I just know that I will always get some wonderful images from him. I can't recommend Paul highly enough and I look forward to many more shoots with him....I hope! :)

Thanks Paul xx

Paul was at a group yesterday at prp studios and we had great fun when shooting! Paul manages to take great pictures straight out of the lens. Lovely to see you again Paul! :)

Dana Cressida

Just had my second shoot with Paul and it was so much fun! We went to an air museum to take some pictures outside and inside the old war planes, oh and there was the graffiti wall too!

I could shoot with Paul everyday! He is so passionate about photography, it shows in the images that we have got so far! He is so easy to get along with and makes you feel at ease and comfortable. Thanks again for a great day Paul!

Dana Cressida

Wow! Had a shoot with Paul today and not only was it a great day out but we also got some brilliant shots. He found the best locations and had a great amount of storage when travelling (more outfits and lenses to take!)

100% has my recommendation!

Jolie Anne

I worked with Paul at prp studios on a studio shoot day. It was a pleasure working with Paul who is a really nice guy. He made me feel relaxed and comfortable and gave very good direction and clearly knows his stuff! The images speak for that. I would highly recommend Paul and hope to work with him again in the near future.

Thanks Paul, it was great working with you :-)
