Experience:
A very experienced photographer using Digital SLR or Medium format digital. Easy to work with, resulting in outstanding images. The philosophy is to make the model comfortable use the best equipment in the best environment - then you get the most outstanding pictures. You will see from the comments from the models I have work with (most come back for more) that they have experienced a really professional photographer in an outstandingly professional studio. Love to take pictures using unusual props such as the portfolio picture above where the ribbons are the material florists use. The more unusual the material the better but always to make a beautiful human being stand out from a crowd. I like to be creative so any ideas for a shoot are more than welcome. The studio is in Redditch just south of Birmingham. It is a fully professional studio mainly working Monday to Friday. In the studio complete professionalism is expected. I use a medium format Hasselblad camera to get the same quality of images expected from the top london studios. I have done hundreds of shoots in all genres so nothing surprises or shocks me. I work with professional models and amateurs alike treating every shoot with as the one that will make the subject and the image famous. The studio has plenty of room to create the images required with a full infinity curve, several backgrounds, full high glide lighting system and a model changing room. There are several MUA's who work in the studio. The studio can also be hired for a shoot, using your own photographer or model, usually at weekends or in the evenings at really competitive prices. Just email me if you would like to do a TFCD shoot or have any ideas you want to translate into digital images.

Comments:

I had a shoot with penfoldpc today and I would highly recommend him to models both amateur and professional alike. He is such fun to work with and I was absolutely delighted with the photos he took. We had a rapport which is important when you want to achieve good images.

I am looking forward to having a sesond shoot with him.

Had an amazing shoot with Paul at his fantastic studio.
Paul had his ideas all planned out but somehow images kept evolving and time passed so quickly that some of them will have to be kept for another time ( hopefully ).
I love working hard for those extra special images, and I know that's what's going to come out of this shoot.
Thank you Paul for a great session , would I recommend .... by jove I would x
