I hired Paul to photograph bottles and drinks for a drinks product at a manor house type venue to be used mainly on social media for the brand. Paul was great to work with, he took some amazing shots using some awesome techniques and I'm really pleased with the outcome. He is professional, a good communicator and timely as well. The photos were edited to very high quality as well which was great. Will definitely be using Paul again for future shoots.

Fantastic work at a very reasonable price! Beautiful food shots as well as the location work. Nice fella to work with a very professional attitude.

Over the years, we had struggled to find the right photographer for our business. From the styling of the shots, through to the experience on the day of the shoot, it always left us slightly disappointed. One, in fact, would hardly converse with us and seemed to be almost irritated at being there! Safe to say, we'd become pretty sceptical. Nonetheless, we needed someone and we needed to find the right person. I found the Bark website and popped a brief on - it took less than 10 minutes to have a shortlist of 5... good start! After comparing the quality of previous work and speaking to each one, we decided that Paul was the best fit in terms of style and experience. There was still a slight feel of intrepidation though, given our previous experience. That changed, however, the moment we met Paul. We finally found someone who listened to what we wanted, offered practical and considered ideas and actually produced what he said he would. In fact, it was miles better than we'd even hoped for. His attention to detail is incredible and he was able to bring our beautiful fresh produce and chefs ingredients to life. Most importantly, he was a pleasure to spend time with and so easy to get along with... like slipping on a comfy pair of shoes! The images were turned around in just a few days and we were so happy with the results, we booked a 2nd day of shooting the following week and have just confirmed a 3rd shoot for next week. Safe to say, we're thrilled with Paul's work and would recommend him to anyone looking to bring their products to life.

Paul was professional from the beginning. I ‘interviewed’ several photographers who I wanted to photograph lots of products and build a website. We spent a long time on the initial consultation which made me feel at ease. He communicated his expertise and creativity in the first phone call and I was confident Paul was the right man for the job. We had a difficulty of me being in Milan and Paul working with my family on shoot day. We managed to overcome the physical distance with lots of emails and phone calls outside of working hours. Shoot day was tense! Lots of work to do, no space, and a busy butchers shop with a stressed out butcher. But over 3 and a half days, we got some great shots. Who knows how, but he made raw meat look appetising! The after touches were done in a timely fashion and we were so pleased with the photos of our products. Then we worked together on the design and building of the website! I was guided by Paul’s expertise on how to maximise google hits and the copy. In the end, it looked amazing. Paul handled the crossover and we were ready for launch in August. On our old website, the average order was £70, with the new professionally built website by Paul and the lovely photos, the average order is £100. I would 100% recommend Paul. I can’t compare Paul’s prices because as we all know, when it comes to website building, how long is a piece of string? However, I felt satisfied with the price we paid. The quality of the work, the time and effort with the level of professionalism felt worth it.
