References for Creative Nonsense

I have worked with Phil on various shoots/events over the years and always enjoy his company and shooting together.

We recently worked at Pauls Wales weekend last month, although we didn't shoot together I am still happy to leave a reference as Phil worked very hard looking after all the Models and Photographers with Paul on the event.

Phil is always there to help you whatever that may be, nothing is too much for him.

Phil also gave me a lift to wales from Swindon, which was very helpful for me and we had a nice time chatting and drinking spiced Latte's along the way :)

Thanks Phil, see you at the Manor House.

Highly recommended

Phil's assistance on the Wales Weekends was much appreciated, spending the time to visit the groups and find out if they need help, or just to discuss ideas helps the whole thing run smoothly !

it was my first time meeting phil at pauls wales weekend. I got on great strait away he even messaged me before the weekend to say hi and made sure i knew where i was going and things. During the weekend he was always checking up on all the models and helping anyone who needed it and generally just being nice and helpful. We did get a chance to do a quick shoot. We got some really lovely images. I would love to work with him again sometime. Thanks for a great shoot.

He was extremely polite and friendly and although we never got to shoot this time around ,I'd hope that in the future we get the opportunity.

I have attended to Paul's Wales event, where I met Phil as one of the organizers.

Phil has given me a lift from Reading to take me to the trip and we had lovely chat on the way there and we get to know each other.

On the weekend Phil was always there to help to both models and photographers and felt very comfortable knowing that he is always in hand if needed.

I did not get to shoot on this occasion but i would love to shoot with him and hope to meet again soon.

100% recommended! :)

I worked with Phil recently at his home. He had loads of really great ideas and amazing props for sets. He definitely has a creative eye and I really love the images we created together.

He's a lovely guy, really friendly and welcoming. He made sure I was comfortable throughout the shoot and kept checking to see if I needed anything to eat or drink. He also made sure I got my train home in time.

I loved working with him and I hope we can work together again. 100% recommended.

Phil’s a great guy and definitely fun to work with! He kindly grabbed me from reading station and took me all the way to our great destination in wales! Paul is 100% professional, always looked out for me if I needed him, easy to talk to and chat too!

Hopefully we get to shoot again soon and catch up!

Thanks for a great weekend Phil!!!

Had my second fantastic shoot with Phil at Pauls studio in reading

He was very prepared with some awesome ideas, such as green screen effect and trying out some portraits.

Phil is so easy to work with, polite and friendly throughout the day and it was so nice to catch up with him.

He is very easy going and a lovely person too, a good laugh and I can't wait to work with him again in the near future ;)

Highly recommended by me, as a talented photographer and a lovely person.

Did my first shoot with Phil not to long ago and was so much fun! I loved the concept we came up with I think we did a good job! I would definitely recommend working with him as it was a relaxed atmosphere and he doesn't put too much pressure on you.

Can't wait until the next shoot to see what more we could come up with!

Thank you so much Phil!

Phil was absolutely fantastic, from beginning to end!

We made some great plans in a short amount of time but covered all grounds, Phil is fantastic at communicating and very conscientious which made organisation so easy. The shoot itself was relaxed, creative, organic and fun which has created some really great images; I loved working with Phil and am looking forwards to doing so again.

During my first day at Paul's Studio in Reading I had the opportunity to shoot with this lovely gent! Upon meeting we discussed ideas and levels and he ensured I was 100% happy everything he wanted to shoot before diving in. He is such a sweet and honest individual with a real eye for beauty and photography, he came up with some wonderful ideas and together we created some stunning photographs. I hope I get to work with him again next time I'm in Reading as this man is a truly great photographer and an even better person!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND - RATED 5*

I had lots of fun shooting with Phil yesterday. He picked me up and dropped me off at my house, and was an excellent host. We got a variety of interesting images and bounced ideas off each other. Phil is a pleasure to work with, an excellent photographer and a really nice person as well. I'd definitely shoot with him again.

Had a lovely shoot with Phil, who I finally got to work with!

He was very hospitable at his home studio, and the shoot was relaxed, fun, and the time flew by.

Phil clearly has a passion for photography and I would not hesitate to work with him again

Well ummm what can I say? Blimey! What a shoot. Phil is tremendous he was so welcoming today and was also ready to start our shoot early. He had a few different arrangements me set ups in his beautiful home for us today and glad to say they all worked perfectly from the second I arrived I knew the shoot would be wonderful! Phil is a true true professional with a fantastic sense of humour and our shoot was filled with lots of chat and giggles!

I had my first shoot with phil today during a studio weekend at Paul's-studio. He was friendly, chatty and really easy to get along with! I thoroughly enjoyed the shoot and would happily recommend him to others!

We covered a whole range of styles and Phil also brought along (clean) clothing/props to add to the images which were a great addition. Loads of lighting styles and different set ups and generally just a lot of fun!

Thank you again

I had such an amazing shoot with Phil! My first ever shoot organised through PP and I could not have been happier. He was always on it with communication and making sure that everything was okay on both ends. He was kind enough to accommodate what I was doing and made it work for me as well as himself.

I was nervous but I quickly calmed down. Phil gave me the encouragement I needed to let go and just enough to make sure we were getting the best pictures. It was just the right amount of experimental for a first shoot and I can't wait to work with him again and again!

I got access to all of the pictures the very next day (would have been the same day if I was quicker to respond!) and some edits. Within the day that I let Phil know which images I wanted edited they were done. When I then asked him for a few more he kept me well informed of when he would be able to get them done practically.

Could not recommend him more.

Phil really is a gentleman of his trade! He is friendly, accommodating and an all round good egg. Was super chuffed to be able to shoot with him alongside Paul and what a wonderful photographer duo they were. I absolutely adore the photos I've seen so far; it's safe to say Phil has 'the eye' for a good photo which is a valuable asset to be cherished. Thank you so much for a great shoot! Can't wait to do it all again soon. Grace
