Today, I had my first shoot with Paul at F/8 studio in Gloucester & all I can say is WOW!

Paul was so much fun to shoot with, we had a good laugh & Paul made me feel 100% comfortable. Looking at the photos we got even before editing and they looked amazing.

I absolutely cannot wait to see the finished photos and we are already in talks about our next shoot- which I am super excited for!

Thank you for an amazing shoot today, look forward to next time.

If you haven’t already- get yourself in for a shoot with Paul- couldn’t recommend enough.

I was very happy when Paul asked me to do another shoot with him. This was our second shoot and I had such a great day.

Paul is really fun to be around, very talented and professional and just a really great guy. His studio is full of outfits, shoes and props which I absolutely loved using.

He’s so great and has lots of fun idea and also goes along with any of mine and let’s me do any poses or wear any outfits I desire.

He’s very trustworthy and makes you feel completely comfortable and is definitely one of my favourite photographers ever!

If you are as lucky as me and get chance to work with him then I’d highly recommend that you do :-)

What a Really fun day I had. Paul had me laughing lots and was a real pleasure to spend time with. He is so easy going and has lots of ideas but was also happy to go with any of my ideals

His photos are amazing, he is so talented and I feel honoured he wanted to work with me. I can’t wait to see the photos we created.

I would highly recommend working with Paul and I am excited to work with him again.

He also makes a really really good cup of tea!!

Another amazing day with Paul. Brilliant energy, talent and ideas were flowing off us both. Paul is super talented and what I like most about him is that he is open minded and often lets the model have a lot of input in terms of the creative direction.

I can’t even explain how excited I am to see these images. As per usual with Paul, they are totally different to anything I have on my portfolio which is very beneficial as a model.

Really look forward to working together again.

I had a shoot with Paul back in July and he made me feel comfortable right from the start, we did many shots with different outfits and every one was amazing! He was professional throughout and is a very talented photographer.

I highly recommended him to all creatives and look forward to working with him again 😊

I adore shooting with Paul and he has a wonderful way of bringing out the best in every model that steps into his studio. Absolute sweetheart and bloody brilliant with a camera. Can't thank Paul enough for everything he does. xx

Huge thanks to Paul for a running our Pin Up Group Shoot last Saturday! The day went really well, everything was spot on! Paul arrived hours early before the start of the shoot and the Studio was completely ready to go! Paul is a great Studio owner, he always oversees everything and makes sure both the model and photographers are settled and comfortable. He always has a no nonsense approach in regards to the models well being which is fab as you always feel 100% safe at F8. Paul makes me laugh constantly and I enjoy all the banter on the shoots. I would highly recommend Paul and F8 Studio to shoot with / at and we are already planning our next shoot :) - thanks for a fab Group Shoot Paul! x

I can't say enough good things about my shoot with Paul. The guy is an absolute scream, and I had a blast working with him. His communication is spot on, the studio was well equipped and I felt comfortable from the second we met.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him or work with him again should the opportunity arise 😊

Had an amazing shoot with Paul, I can’t wait for our next one! Was a bit out of my comfort zone, but was made to feel really at ease and welcomed.

Received images quickly and to a very high standard, no fuss atall. Got plenty of stunning photos that I couldn’t be more pleased with.

Would definitely recommend, such a professional and lovely guy.

I had a super four hour shoot with Paul a few days ago at F8!

It was my first studio shoot since...well, some time in autumn 2019!! So it felt really good to be back in front on the lights and posing away!!

We worked our way through everything I packed and took some super cool images!! Really loved them and really enjoyed the shoot as a whole!

Good to catch up, have a good natter, laugh and be creative again! Thank you Paul, hope we can do it again one day!! :D :D

I had a great shoot with Paul yesterday... 7 years after out first shoot! I really hope it won't be so long until we shoot again as Paul is awesome! Great fun to work with, easy going, chatty and a great photographer. We shot a whole load of quirky sets in 4 hours and got some really epic results! Highly recommend!

Melanie Bond (Butler)

Excellent studio shoot with Paul yesterday!

Paul was on time, organised and had a plan of action for our shoot!

We chatted and laughed the whole way through!

This was my second shoot with Paul and it was as fun as the first one.

He is totally professional, full of funny stories and makes you feel relaxed during the shoot.

Loved it - can't wait to come back for another.

Many Thanks Paul - see you soon xx

It probably won't come as a surprise that I'm leaving Paul another glowing reference.

This was my first time shooting with Paul and It probably won't be the last. There was a clear concept and idea from the start, communication was fantastic. Paul is a genuinely lovely bloke and very conscious of model safety and comfort. He knew my levels and stuck within them with no problem, I can say with the uttermost confidence that I didn't once feel uncomfortable around him. He's professional, great with his direction all the while giving me free rein to pose and really go with the flow. I had a fantastic time, shooting with Paul was a truly fun experience and we got some great images too!

Cheers, Paul.

What a absolute legend Paul is!

After not being able to shoot for the past 4 months due to covid I am buzzed over today’s shoot.

Great communication prior to shooting and all round the whole shoot was amazing’ full of laughter, dancing around and we got some beautiful shots!

I can’t recommend enough and I can’t wait to shoot again!

Paul is defintely up there with the photographers id be happy to recommend to any model who was starting up.

He makes it fun, he keeps conversation interesting and im aching from laughter afterwards! weve shot 12 hours in his studio - and still havent ran out of ieas yet!

his pre communications were great as always - we had to do a last minute change of location as the British weather showed us up! Even though we already had ideas that we had to scrap in the end - we still came up with 8 hours more of ideas.. some we are really chuffed with and defintely gave us even more ideas for next time.

He likes the whackier poses - which is perfect for me! He has it tethered to his laptop in the studio - so its super easy to go over and look through what youve taken and how you can improve it, resulting in better end results!

I hope Paul continues to work with me (even if his 2nd reference is a bit late) :P and we can be partners in artistic crime again in the ner future!

Have shot with Paul a few times now - we've immediately hit it off, he's a fucking lovely fellow, with amazing ideas, excellent music taste, awesome lighting ideas, and the best company. This shoot was no different. We smashed through some colourful lingerie and suit sets, broke out the fan for a dramatic gothy number, I licked a couple of mannequins (obvs), got a little shiny in one set, accidently fell over in another set whilst sitting down (only I could do that) in a rather gorgeous pool of light, and we had an absolute blast. The images are fucking INCREDIBLE.

So Paul is brilliant. You can't not like him. He's just a dude, a very cool dude. Fwend.

Would highly recommend to all models and creatives!

Until next time my dear.
