I had my first shoot with Paul today and it was a full day of great fun. We did several different outfits, location and studio work. Paul made me feel very relaxed, right from the start, with really good pre-shoot communication and lots ideas. I was able to pose freely for him and I hope he got the shots that he wanted.

Paul is a pleasure to work with and would definitely work with him again if the chance arises. Highly recommended.

The Clock Tower London

I hosted a shoot with paul some time ago but have only just got around to doing reviews (apologies)

What can i say that hasn’t already be said. comms were excellent, payment swift, the house was tidier when they left than when they arrived! an absolute pleasure to have in my studio. please come back soon! x

I had my second shoot with Paul while I was in London this year as part of my Europe/UK tour. As usual pre-shoot communications were superb, the planning and organisation of the shoot could not have been more seamless and hasssle-free. Paul was flexible to fit in with my availability and very accommodating of organising a shoot location convenient for me - which ended up being the newly opened Clock Tower London studio - and kindly assisting with transport after we had finished.

A pleasure to work with and lovely company, Paul ensured that I was comfortable throughout the shoot and allowed regular for regular breaks throughout the half-day session. He was collaborative in the shooting process, valuing my input and taking an interest in my feedback when offered. To top that off, he was also extremely speedy in sending through some previews and finished edits from the session! Such a pleasure as always, and highly recommended!

First time shooting with Paul, felt very comfortable. Allowed me to have lots of creative input which I really enjoyed. Although it was a very relaxed shoot environment at his home studio he remained very professional throughout. Would definitely recommend and would shoot with Paul again. X

I had an absolute pleasure working with Paul last Monday. We were shooting in his home studio as the weather did not allow for a truly spring shoot, nevertheless I think we have managed to capture the spirit of spring! During the shoot as well as before it Paul has been clearly communicating his ideas what made our collaboration very fruitful and a pure pleasure. I can definitely recommend working with him and I am very much looking forward to shooting with him, and perhaps with his wife, in the foreseeable future! :)

I shot today with Paul and his wife at Beltcraft Studio.

Paul's pre-comms were on point and I was well informed of the days runnings and what I needed to bring. 8 was also well looked after and given sufficient breaks throughout.

Paul is super professional, easy to work with and worked through a range of sets/styles throughout the shoot.

I had a great day at Beltcraft thanks to Paul's organisation. I am super excited to see some of our images and hope to shoot again in the near future.

Highly recommended.

I had another lovely shoot with Paul and this time his wife Kristen joined us too.

They both had their own ideas rather than shooting the same thing, and they were both fabulous company :)

From what I saw on the back of the camera we got some lovely images together!

Highly recommended and hope to have them join us on one of my events or trips abroad in the future :)

Another great shoot with Paul at the NLS with his lovely wife! Again, I really did enjoy working with those 2, what a great team they are! Excellent pre-shoot communication, full of ideas, coming well prepared with loads of props and ideas in mind. Working very fast and getting many different styles with great results. Coming along with a great selection of food and snacks. Very friendly, great laugh... just very happy with this session I had with Paul and Kristin and more than happy to recommend them again!

Paul and his wife booked me at their home, having shot with Paul before I knew it was going to be a great shoot and jumped at the chance! It was so lovely to meet Mrs Mason, Kristin, they are such a lovely, warm, and welcoming couple. And not to mention incredibly talented. They ensured I was topped up with tea throughout, with plenty of interesting topics to discuss and shoot. Kristin had several cases of clothes, shoes amd accessories. We did several sets, including my favourite- some quirky fun stuff. I love the images Ive seen and would always highly recommend Paul. Many thanks Paul, you rock! :-)

Was such a pleasure to shoot with Paul for the first time at his studio.

Perfect pre-shoot communication. A very talented photographer, well organised. Such a nice and relaxed person. Greeted with lunch and loads of snacks... just a perfect day!

We managed to shoot loads of different style, using different backgrounds and lighting set-up. Absolutely loved the pictures from the back of the camera. I also had the opportunity to work with his lovely wife Kristin who brought many props for me and had very good ideas.

Thank's to both of you!

We already planned another shoot and I am really looking forward to it! Obviously recommended!

I shot with Paul for the first time at his lovely home. His pre comms were excellent and I had a very clear idea of the shoot plan before I got there. Paul was a pleasure to work with, very friendly and hospitable, making me lunch and making sure I had anything I needed. We got through a lot of ideas in the time and it was a really enjoyable shoot. I would happily work with him again and I highly recommend :)

Paul was a pleasure to shoot with! He was very understanding about me being late due to a mistake of an uber driver and having stomach pains later on. But I am glad we still received images we both liked against bad luck on that day!

We were shooting at Paul’s house - he was very welcoming and accommodating.

I would recommend Paul to any model

Had a wonderful shoot with Paul and his wife Kristin at his home in London . As usual Pauls communication is impeccable so I knew exactly the details I needed . Paul had planned out a few ideas and himself and his wife had a great shooting strategy .They shot on a 1-2-1 basis with different ideas so that it was always something different and not repetitive . All time ideas were different and well thought out and I had an excellent time .

A special mention to his wife Krisitn who was lovley and I really enjoyed her imput in the styling and it was enjoyable to watch her idea that she was dying to shoot come to life .

Thank you both for a wonderful afternoon .

Had a lovely shoot with Paul yesterday at the wonderful Buckle Factory in East London.

We managed to shoot a whole range of great looks from fashion-art nude. He made great use of the space and light available. I really enjoyed the fact that he gave me a lot of free rein choosing outfits and poses that best suited me as a model. We had a lot of fun and I'm really excited to see how the photos turn out. Would happily recommend!

When Paul contacted me to work at The Buckle Factory - i just had to say yes! What a fab location full of unique and kooky props!

I had a lot of fun on our shoot, I felt me and Paul worked really well together bouncing off different ideas and concepts to make for interesting images. Paul is very good at capturing movement and editorial fashion.

A lovely, understanding guy who is also pretty nifty with a camera!

Highly recommended :)

My fourth shoot with Paul; this time during my model day at The Hacienda. We didn't plan too much in advance but created some really elegant and opulent images in the evening light, from evening dresses to lingerie, and it's a pleasure to see Paul's confidence and skill grow with every shoot. I hope to work with Paul again next year and wouldn't hesitate in recommending him to others.

So pleased to be writing another glowing reference for Paul, as he deserves the highest merit for his absolute professionalism, friendliness and for his consistent accommodating nature.

Paul is brilliant with Pre comms, very clear on what is to be achieved on the day, which is great for my own preparation and expectancy.

I didn't have transport on my side the day of shooting! But Paul was very understanding of this as we kept communication throughout and was fortunate enough to arrange for me to get picked up by his lovely wife at the nearest available station.

Paul booked a fabulous MUA, Gemma. Just wonderful! Got on really well and her make up skills are next to none. All in all we were a good team! Shooting was effortless and time flew! before we knew our time was up.

I've since seen the images and we've caught some crackers, looking forward to seeing the end results :)

Again, highly recommend!!

I had a brilliant time shooting with Paul on one of my model days at the marvellous 'Hacienda' in London.

He was friendly, professional, enthusiastic and easy going, coming with great ideas and capturing some fabulous and varied shots inside the venue.

The images he took are beautiful quality - vibrant, classy and artful. I would be delighted to work with him again any time in the future and can certainly recommend him to others!

I had the pleasure of working with Paul and his partner the first time today and had a really enjoyable shoot with them both.

Straight away I felt at ease and comfortable around them both as they were very professional, communicated well and easy to work with.

I highly recommend Paul and his partner and I would love to work with them both again in future.
