Was so lovely getting to see Paul again after so long and even better for it to be on one of Rachelle Summer’s events, Stepford Wives at The Hacienda in London with Nicole Rayner :)

Paul was on point throughout the day with his brilliant sense of humour and throwing ideas around as well as listening to any of our suggestions. Paul is so easy to work with with he just lets you flow through your poses, stopping only to change or adjust the lighting, I saw some fantastic back of cameras on the day an I can’t wait to see the final results! :D

Thank you so much for coming and putting up with our madness!

Another utterly fabulous shoot with Paul!

This time he joined us on my Stepford Wives event! The theme was totally out of his usual shooting style but he really embraced it! He really adapted well to it, trying out different angles and getting some bloody cracking shots because of it!

Paul is just a blast to work with, it is always a collaboration and he is always welcomes feedback from the models too. Another fabulous shoot and can't wait to see some results :D

Highly recommended from me! Viva Las Vegas :D :D

I loved working with Paul!

He came to my art nude body paint workshop at Aura hosted by Laura and Simon on lighting.

A lovely photographer to work with, plenty of creative flare and kind and respectful.

Highly recommended by me.

I hope to see you again soon.

Best wishes

What a great shoot!

Paul is clearly a driven, determined indiviudal with creative ideas and knowledge on what works best photogra[hically by using the model to help bring that imagw to life. His compositions, the way he worked with natural lighting was just superb. A skilled photographer indeed. He was happy to take on extra ideas, using our shoot as a complete collaboration. Paul looked after me, looked out for me. I was in safe hands. No problems at all. Juat an easy, fun flowing day.

It was a pleasure to shoot with Paul. Communication beofre and during the shoot was on pooint, very informative.

I look forward to our next shoot.

Highly reccomend!

It doesn’t matter what situation it is in which I’m working with Paul: it’s destined to be a brilliant shoot! All the ideal ingredients: a terrific rapport/banter flow, a relaxed/non-pressured pace, wacky/wonderful and ingenious ideas and just an all-round epic atmosphere with a lot of mutual creative drive and interest. :D So of course I bloomin’ recommend him - no questions asked!

Though I am going to harp-on a bit about our latest shoot because it was the exact dictionary definition of fantabulous (you will not find any other such definition! :P) We worked together this time at Tim’s Cottage which was the very first location whereby we shot together for the very initial time! So it was nice returning to the same place with different visions and such as a model/photographer, and really pushing the boat out with the images we tackled. :) Paul as a photographer just throws himself into the situation because up to now we’ve shot everything from specifically controlled studio setups, to questionable weather/light conditions in the mountains of North Scotland to indoorsy/non-studio which has its own challenges... Essentially the point is that Paul will throw himself at every picture-making challenge out there with buckets of mega enthusiasm, and really does create some superb work! He really deserves non-exaggerated credit for it!

The (other) nice thing about working with Paul is that he is just so easy going and positively welcoming of the models ideas and input on a team basis, but he ALWAYS brings super cool input to shoots: whether it’s an actual garment, a visual concept or even if it comes to him on the day when the pose/situation is right in front of him! This time we actually decided to go with the flow a bit more and just see what interesting images we could pull from the setting and the light - it didn’t what I was doing pose-wise; Paul was on-it-like-a-car-bonnet and bounced of it by working the angles (even if the best angle involved doing some weird body-bending himself, or leaning across furniture in awkward ways to frame it the best possible composition for each photo) and rocking the light (anyone who has ever shot at a cottage or home location will know how either part or all of your light source is dictated by what that big ball of fire in the sky decides to throw at you! And on an indecisive sunny/cloudy day - the photographer really has their hands full keeping up with the conditions!) Paul’s patience prevailed though! :D And the team-driven flow was rife from the word go to the last picture taken. Thank you so much Paul for putting up with my utterly weird suggestion at times too! You need a gold medal really...

So Paul’s am awesome photographer, with a truly creative mind! But he’s also a total sweetheart and extremely professional in his approach/respectful to always make the models he works with feel entirely comfortable. :) We made great use of the facilities for tea/coffee and worked at a leisurely pace, still bagging inane stuff. He is the easiest person in the world to work with both creatively, but also simply because he has a lovely nature... Gosh we chatted and chatted and chatted - the gorgeous images must have just made themselves ha! Time flew by like a rocket and no sooner we’d initiated the communications for the shoot - it was all done! He’s just an all-round top gent in every possible way and I can reassure every model that may be due to work with Paul: you will have a fantastic shoot. :) I’m already looking forward to us working together on an event next year! But if we do so before then: happy days!!!

Thank you so much Paul!

I always have such a good time shooting with Paul!

I get on with him like a house on fire and have done since the first time we shot together in London a few years ago :)

I always look forward to catching up and shooting, he is such a friendly guy and has such a fab personality that time honestly zooms by :)

I can't wait for him to join us on my Stepford Wives event next weekend but above all I am beyond excited for him joining us on my Summers Abroad trip to Vegas this year :D

Highly highly recommended if you can't already tell haha!

A total pleasure working with Paul again, this time at Guys Cliffe 2019, organised by the lovely Nicole Rayner!

Paul was enthusiastic, considerate, easy going and creative. He encouraged collaboration on ideas, brought a fantastic outfit for some unique shots and was just overall lovely to work with both 1:1 and together with the other models.

I can't wait to see some of his results! Absolutely recommended! :-D

I worked with the lovely Paul again, this time at a The Guys Cliffe event organised by Nicole Rayner. Pail was great to work with and as before was laid back, relaxed, professional and respectful. It can be tricky working with so many models at the same time but when shooting all four models Paul took his time to focus on creating one very good shoot of us all rather than just firing away which I really appreciated as quality always beats quantity!

Thankyou Paul for coming - I can’t wait to see the images :)

Highly recommended

Paul's awesome. Just...AWESOME! SERIOUSLY!!

One of TCH team bumped into him a few weeks ago at another event, and to our surprise we were delighted to find soon after he'd booked onto ours!

Come the day itself, as before, he knows what he wants out of a shot. He comes well prepared with armfuls of kit...and is always happy to try out a few tricks or props to expand his portfolio!

Basically, his BOC images looked amazing! We're SO pleased that Paul took the time to join us in Surrey. Both Tinkerbella & Oh Look it's Nemo both said they loved his work, and hopefully it's not too long before we see him again!

100% HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I recently had my first shoot with Paul at my home and it was honestly such a fun shoot!

Paul is very polite and considerate with levels, privacy and was very respectful of my home. We had a really great time, Paul is a talented photographer with an amazing eye for detail, light, and style/feel of a shot, all of which made my job very easy indeed.

The time flew by, we had finished in what seemed like no time at all and Paul is absolutely welcome back for another shoot any time!

I would highly recommend this lovely gentleman - aside from being a joy to work with Paul also takes fantastic photos which is just a great bonus really!!

Thanks Paul for a wonderful shoot 🙂🙂

Ahh what a brilliant first shoot with Paul! We worked together on my recent mini Kent tour and I'm so glad we did! Paul is FULL of ideas and proposals- too many to cover in the shoot time we had! I'm really looking forward to seeing some of his photos! A lovely friendly chap and I'd happily work together again - hopefully soon!

Thanks again Paul!

I had my first shoot with Paul at Aura studio this weekend. Paul is an absolute pleasure to work with. We got on really well and the time flew by. The pictures looked amazing from the back of the camera. Paul comes highly recommended by me and I hope to work with him again in the near future.

I had a wonderful shoot with Paul around my yorkshire locations! Having shot with Paul before I knew it was going to be an enjoyable day and I was not disappointed!

.

We covered a range of different locations! Paul was efficient throughout the whole day so we managed to cover a lot! Paul brought his own great ideas to the shoot as well as listing to any that I had!

Paul is a great photographer- he created some really beautiful images of me which I can’t wait to see the finished result of! Paul is great company - very relaxed - very considerate - he made sure I was able to get lunch and when I thought that I had dropped my phone he was more than happy to take time out of the shoot so I could go and find it - what a sweetheart! (it was in the car- silly me)

Paul is always respectful and professional! And I am very very glad to have lost more shoots with Paul over the year! Lucky me!!

Highly recommended

I was lucky enough to have Paul join me on my recent 'Back to the 70's' event at the Hacienda.

Paul was the ONLY one to really dress up 70's in the entire four days (except the models of course!) so he was rewarded handsomely with a large discount off one of my next trips abroad- beats a bottle of cheap booze ;) :P

We all went back nearly 50 years on entering the studio- the mixture of 70's music, the mustard yellows, browns, purples... even the authentic 70's snacks- we wanted everyone walking in to feel like they had literally gone back in time!

I can confidently say everyone involved had blast for the duration of the shoot time. All 16 photographers walked away with stunning images. I know as I did my best to look through as many as I could-!

The event took six months to create, and the four days flew by way too fast.

We have all raised a lot of money for Battersea Cats and Dogs home and also created many wonderful memories- some of which I hope will stay with me until the 2070's- If I'm lucky-!!! ;)

I am over the moon at how well the event went- I have everyone involved to thank for that- the models, assistants, studio, hair stylist and of course, the photographers. I could't have done it without you- so thank you for having faith in my event and booking a slot.

Peace out dudes...Socky Socky indeed :P :)

Carla Monaco

Great to work with Paul again this time at Artemis's 70s event at the hacienda.

Paul is a legend for being the only photographer to dress up in 70s clothes- so much fun and really made the day :)

Paul is so nice to work with, makes you feel comfortable from the start, laid back yet professional.

Paul got some stunning images from the event, looking forward to seeing the results.

I hope to work with Paul again soon, thank you for a great shoot.

Best

This was my first shoot with Paul and he was a real pleasure to work with!

Pre-communications were fantastic and prompt.

We both came to the shoot with some great ideas in mind and Paul went to the effort of hiring a brilliant period costume for the session. I enjoyed my time spent with Paul and found him incredibly friendly and easy-going. I felt comfortable and confident in his presence and most importantly, we captured some great images together. It's important to have a laugh and create a good relationship with each other whilst working on shoots and we certainly did.

We had some rain to deal with- However, it didn't dampen the our spirits and we had a good time regardless.

I would 100% recommend working with Paul and I am sure I will work with him again in the future. He is great :)

Shooting with Paul is always a real pleasure, he just gets better and better, always improving and moving his photography to another level.

Paul is so respectful and laid back, so easy to work with every time and we always work as a team to produce the best shots we can :)

A talented photographer and an all round lovely guy x

I love working with Paul!

I got to shoot with him on a beautifully creative shoot at Studio Visage on a make up shoot with Sister of SINISTER as MUA!

Paul is wonderfully laid back and has a real eye for such wonderful imagery, using all the most flattering of angles and lighting - the images just looked fabulush!

This incredible photographer is an absolute legend, a favourite of mine to work with and I can't thank him enough for such a acing shoots - recommended to the highest degree :)

Wow what can I say! Just had the most awesome shoot with Paul and my modelling duo partner Retro Rob. Paul is so fantastic to work with - a really lovely guy with a great sense of fun and he takes cracking pics!

Rob and I were amazed with what he captured today and I found it so rewarding as we were working hard to produce some quite physically challenging poses, all of which Paul photographer beautifully!

The 6 hours flew by and we got through a lot of sequences finishing up with some vintage.

Thank you Paul for booking us and for being such a great guy to work with.

I’m really proud with what we achieved today and can’t wait to see the pics.

Hope to work with you again soon. Very highly recommended :)
