I had an amazing shoot with Paul at his studio in Gloucester. Paul very kindly picked me up from the train station and was very patient and understanding when there were issues with the trains

The shoot itself was amazing. Paul knows a lot about photography and was very good at styling shoots and knowing how to light them. We got through a lot of different sets and the time flew by.

We got along really well and he’s a lovely person to talk to. The shoot was really comfortable and fun. I really had an amazing time and I hope to be back again!

The photos look fantastic. I’m so pleased with how it all turned out

Thank you Paul!

I would definitely recommend shooting with him

Shooting with Paul just flies by every time. I've been lucky to shoot with Paul a few times now and im incredibly comfortable with him. Paul has got to be one of my favourites to shoot with in every aspect. We always have such a great laugh and walk away with fantastic shots. Its not often i get to shoot fashion and not only was Paul happy to do a few fashion sets but he also put together a fashion lighting workshop too. He is incredibly creative with his set ideas and lighting ideas too.

I will always be happy to recommend Paul to any model both new and experienced. its always a pleasure shooting.

Thanks again,

Jasmine

Paul where do i even start!

I had the pleasure of working Paul and so over the moon with the results! We had a quick natter to begin with and quite instantly clicked which always makes he shoot that much better. We discussed some ideas to begin with and got started. The shoot absolutely flew by and I can honestly say i've never worked with a photographer that is this respectful. I was safe and felt completely relaxed to shoot. Paul has great communication and happy to explain his lighting whenever i've had questions.

I would heavily recommend Paul to any model both new and experienced. He definitely has a great love for what he does.

Thanks again,

Jasmine

Paul has to be the most down to earth photographer I have ever met. Never have I felt so comfortable or laughed so much on a shoot, it was like hanging out with a friend for the day.

We shot for about 4/5 hours and we got so many sets done in that time, some of my ideas and Paul's, it's great to work with someone who is willing to actually collaborate and share ideas.

Paul is a natural creative and it was such a joy to work with him again. If you get the chance to work with him, you should take it in a heartbeat.

Highly recommended!

It’s been a couple years since we last worked together but it was wonderful to see Paul again on Monday 17th; now I’ve moved back to Gloucestershire.

Always have such a laugh with Paul and it was interesting to see what projects he has going on.

I’m looking forward to working together more now that I’m back and hopefully getting some interesting projects planned together.

A very trusted photographer who cares about his art and the models he works with. Will always recommend him.

Paul booked me for 6 hours at his studio. We've done quite a few shoots now and yet each one is awesome and brings something new.

This one was no different. It was so much fun, shooting so many different styles, some of them bat sh*t crazy in the best way!

Paul lit each one to perfection and the images looked great on the screen.

So looking forward to seeing the edits!

Wow, what an amazing day I had shooting with Paul at F/8 Studios. He was incredibly friendly and hospitable to everyone on sets needs, as well as having an incredible talent for what he does. He made the day fly by, and I cannot wait to work with him again in September!

I really enjoyed my brief shoot with Paul at his studio in Gloucester. Paul was kind, friendly and respectful throughout communication before during and after the shoot. We managed to create some beautiful shots, experimenting with studio lighting and Paul is clearly a very experienced and masterful photographer. I look forward to shooting with him at F/8 studios again in the future.

I had a fab time shooting with Paul at his studio during my last visit. His low-key art nude lighting is impeccable. We created some really dynamic images and then played with props to make quirky abstract fashion. Working with Paul is always a good laugh and the ideas just flow. I'd say to any models who haven't worked with Paul yet that you absolutely should.

Thank you Paul! You are brilliant!!! x

Well… where do I start! I applied for Paul’s last minute casting call and Paul messaged me with details about the project. First great GREEN flag, was that he explained the style of the project very well in details and we agreed on ideas and levels with ease.

When I arrived to the studio the next day I knew straight away that we will have an awesome shoot! Paul has a great personality and is very creative, but most importantly respectful and professional.

The studio space is well equipped and spacious. There is also a separate changing room area for the model to comfortably get changed/prepare.

We’ve managed to do 4-5 sets within 4 hour booking and I was super pleased with the results.

Overall, I’ve had a very pleasant experience and would definitely recommend Paul to any model that would like to work with him!

I worked with Paul for the first time last week at his fab studio! I applied to one of his casting calls, booking the shoot was done with ease and communications were great! It’s always a bit nerve wracking when you work with someone for the first time, however when Paul collected me from the station I knew instantly that the shoot was going to be great!

Paul is very down to earth with a very warm personality that is impossible not to get on with and there are plenty of laughs too!

Paul was shooting me for his Erotica project he was so unbelievably respectful making sure I was warm, had a dressing gown on when sorting the lights and plenty of breaks! He also sent me some images the same day! Which were stunning! He’s a very talented photographer with a fab eye for beautiful images!

I thoroughly enjoyed my shoot with Paul an all round lovely man and talented photographer! I would 200% wholeheartedly recommend him! If you get the chance to shoot with him then you must!

I’ve had 2 shoots with Paul now and both have been really successful. The photos have been fab and he’s given me lots of great advice too! Paul is professional and friendly and would highly recommend him.

What a pleasure it is to work with Paul, one of the most attentive, educated photographers I have had the pleasure to work with. Comma are on point and he’s forever thinking of what’s next.

I am looking forward to our next shoot already 😁💋

I came for a shoot on Saturday with another model. Paul was encouraging, kind, creative and a gentleman the whole way through. He never made me or the other model feel left out or favoured, he was a joy to work with and I hope to work with him again soon! The studio was also a great space for creatives to play. Highly recommend :)

Well what an amazing adventure I have had working with Paul at his studio F8 over the weekend.

If you thought Terminator was the only one who didn't let anything stop him you have not yet worked with Paul!

Apart from being such a lovely guy 100% who makes you feel so welcome and for me I felt like part of the family.

I had a two day Retro Rob Tour at F8 and it was a total success even though I threw challenges at Paul left right and center can do so and so and what if? nothing fazed Paul and he delivered above my expectations even making sure I got safely to the studio through the snow on the second day and safely home .

It was a brilliant weekend and we are already talking about what other projects we can work on.

Thank you so much for your love support and hospitality it is truly touching .

I promise to think of some more lighting challenges for when we next meet :-{)

Who better than the Vintage and Jazz lover himself Paul!

Well after many emails and texts the day finally arrived!

With awesome lighting and props at the ready we created what I can only describe as Art!

I have to give it to Paul when it comes to model care he gets A star!

We arrived in 10000 degree heat! ( well it felt like it over the weekend!) only to have arrive 15 mins later at the studio an air conditioner unit express delivery! I was like wow!! Paul's answer well I wanted everyone to be comfortable.

Now thats cool!

The days flew by and everyone left with a smile on there faces including me!

An amazing buzz and weekend standby Paul and F8 for the Return of Retro Rob!

I shot with Paul for the first time today. Not only was it my first time shooting with Paul, but it was my first time shooting to the level of mild erotica.

I absolutely LOVED it! And will most definitely be shooting this level with Paul again.

Paul has good clear communication in messages and in person. On arrival of the shoot we sat down to talk about his background, his aims and goals of the shoot and emphasised that if I'm not wanting to do something, no means no!

Paul is a fun, professional individual who made me feel at complete ease. He gave good direction when needed and just blew me away with his creative mind and work. Incredible!

I highly recommend Paul, especially to those wanting to try new levels with a trustworthy professional.

Thank you for an awesome day!
