What a lovely shoot I had with Paul and his wife at they're home studio after a last minute change of venue. They were absolutely lovely; utterly welcoming and wonderful to be around! Both were kind and caring towards myself and the MUA, making sure we had a constant supply of tea and chat; along with a meal at the end! I couldn't recommend Paul highly enough, not only are his images to a very high standard and directions clear but he is also just a brilliant person to be around.

I had my first shoot with Paul and his wife Kristen this week and it was superb. They are both really lovely, caring people to be around, making sure the model and I were comfortable and happy at all times - even cooking us a delicious meal! The images are of a really high standard and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I highly recommend working with Paul! x

I shot with Paul for the second time at Windmill Art Studio with his wife Kristen, like before Paul was a complete gentleman, kind, chatty and just so easy to get along with. He had plenty of ideas but was also happy to let me do my own thing! After the shoot Paul kindly shared the images with me and they look great! I would highly recommend him and look forward to another shoot in 2016!

I worked with Paul at Adrian Pini's studio last week, shooting a wide variety of themes and ideas! It was lovely to work together at last and I was certainly not disappointed. Paul is very easy to talk to, with a wealth of ideas and props- even bringing a beautiful old sewing machine for me to pose with!

Pre-shoot communication was great and very clear, so I knew exactly what to bring- and post-shoot, Paul's knowledge of London transport got me back to my hostel in record time. (Thankyou for that- much appreciated!) :)

I would highly recommend him and look forward to working together again.

Had the absolute pleasure of working with Paul and Kristin@WestFive at Adrian Pini's Studio. Pre - communications between us was impeccable, Paul was professional, very down to earth and most importantly great fun.

Before the shoot commenced we managed to discuss outfits and roughly what sets we would be doing in the time that I was booked. I found this to be very helpful.

Whilst shooting the time really did fly by but we managed to do a range of different set up's and outfit changes and Paul was very creative and imaginative.

This was a very enjoyable shoot and I hope we are able to shoot again in the future. Thank you very much.

Very highly recommended!

I've worked with Paul twice now, first was a one to one shoot and second was a shared shoot with two other photographers

Both times were great fun!

Paul is an outstanding photographer with a real eye for his images, great with natural light and studio and very driven to get the best shots, always up for trying out new ideas.. And was very good at planning a last minute shoot with me due to both having cancellations :)

Absolute pleasure to work with him, dream team! The shots speech for themselves, so happy with them!

Thanks

Highly recommended and I look forward to our next shoot!

I worked with Paul and Kristin@WestFive just yesterday at my home studio for the whole afternoon/ into the evening. The theme was 'Jack Vettriano' which I thoroughly enjoyed!

Paul was really organised with what he wanted- there were inspiration images for me to work on and he was happy to listen to my input too which was super nice :)

The four hours flew by and we got a really good selection of images- Having a good chat and a laugh in-between (particularly at my dancing) ;) I am looking forward to seeing them go up and hopefully working with Paul and Kristin again one day :) Thank you!

I shot with Paul for the 2nd time on the beautiful island of Gozo. The whole trip itself was fun, the team was easy going and we all had a great laugh.

Paul himself is a great photographer and I felt relaxed the whole time with him. The images he's produced so far are top quality.

highly recommended!

had an excellent shoot with paul in a hotel in london I was staying in for the weekend. He was a perfect gentlemen and I felt at ease shooting with him. He worked well in a small place and we shot a mixture of indoor and outdoor as well. Paul had loads of concepts and we worked through a few different ideas. I loved all the images he produced and will be working with him again soon!

Queen Cat

Had a lovely shoot with Paul and his wife Kristen last week! Paul had applied to my casting and I was more than happy to come up with different ideas for the shoot - a light, summery look and a goth/victorian look.

Paul and Kristen very easy to get along with, the shoot was enjoyable, relaxed and productive - even despite the not-so-great weather - I had lots of fun!

I received a selection of pictures to choose from the very next day - and am absolutely in love with results so far. Can't wait to see more ^^

I would recommend Paul to any model - he is a professional, respectful and creative photographer who is willing to go the extra mile. Would definitely shoot with him again!

Shutterworks Studio

Paul and his wife Kristen came along to our studio day with Sinopa Rin armed with a vast array of hats, jewellery and accessories, and also used a few bits from our jewellery collection to great effect! They were very professional and made good use of their time with us. Would be very happy to see them back at Shutterworks Studio in the future.

Sinopa Rin

I had a very enjoyable few hours with Paul and his lovely wife Kristen. We'd discussed ideas in pre-comms and they brought a gorgeous selection of jewellery and accessories for me to play with, which resulted in some really beautiful fashion and beauty work. I'd highly recommend them both and hope we can work together again soon.

Paul and his lovely wife Kristen where visiting Amsterdam for a few days. They asked if it was possible to shoot with them on Monday 1st of June. full of excitement I said yes. We had a great day and a lot of fun! Paul and Kristen are very humble and super polite. It was lovely to shoot with them, they are very professional and it felt very comfortable shooting with them!

We've made some very nice work! And we had good pre-communications too :) Thanks Paul and Kristen! Hope you enjoyed Amsterdam and hope to shoot with you both again in the future! Highly recommended!

Natural Happy Woman

I had a most civilized experience shooting with Paul, his wife Kristen and Karen Helle. Everyone was super-polite and considerate, and took it in turns to shoot. I felt relaxed and cared for at all times. A really professional group with great communication. Definitely happy to recommend and a big thank you to Paul for sharing some very cool images with me, yayyyy!!!

On Tuesday, I had a great shoot experience with Paul and his lovely wife!

Project, ideas and images shares and commented before shooting, so very professional and interested in work's results. Each thing studied in detail!

Perfect communication between us and great results directly on camera... so for me a beautiful experience, to repeat if possible.

Very high recommended.

Thank you Paul!
