Hi, I’m Paul!.. well you probably guessed that bit by now 🙂
I’ve lived in Camberley for a number of years now and have a home studio where I do a large proportion of my work.
There are 3 things in life that I Love. Photography, Scuba Diving and my girlfriend who puts up with the other two! In the last few years we have also got a German Shepherd called Wolfie, so I need to include him now too, but dont worry he doesnt join us on shoots!
So what is it about me that really would make you want to work with me? I hope that it is because I have a passion to capture those moments in your life that you want to keep forever. Maybe it’s because I’m easy to work with and always remember that this is about your special moment and not my picture. In a nutshell it’s all about you not me.
So what is it that I am not? I am certainly not a pretentious photographer, I prefer being behind the camera more than standing in front of it. I love capturing emotions when people aren’t posing. I don’t chase awards like many others, I don’t look for the accolades that perhaps other seek. I simply want you to love my pictures, and for them to bring pleasure to your family and friends.
I’m also lucky enough to be one of the UK’s only Underwater Photographers specialising in portraiture.. if you’d like to read more about this you can find it here
I took some photos whilst being a guest at a wedding recently, these people were my friends, not paying clients. I just wanted to give them their wedding through my eyes, nothing more. So when I received this text from the maid of honor I was simply blown away.
“Such lovely photos you have put up again Paul! You have a real talent for beautifully capturing precious moments and all the love, warmth and personality given in these natural, unstaged shots. Quite stunning and an incredible artistic gift”
So I’ll let you decide, am I the right person for you? Still not sure? you can read what others have said about me here
Molly-Mae Oxenham1 April 2024I recently had the most incredible underwater photoshoot with Paul Dale, and it was an absolute blast! From the moment I stepped into the pool, he made me feel completely at ease and comfortable. His friendly and professional demeanour instantly put me at ease, making it a fantastic first experience. Paul’s expertise in underwater photography truly shines through, as he captured the most breathtaking shots. The entire session was filled with laughter, creativity and pure joy. I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to document this unique and memorable moment. He took my underwater photos to the next level, making them look absolutely stunning. I was so blown away by how good they have turned out, I can’t wait to receive the rest. I highly recommend Paul for anyone looking to have an amazing underwater photoshoot experience! Molly-MaeFulfil Enterprises22 March 2024The photography was great! Paul is a professional and friendly person that provides a high quality of work, would recommend!Ioana Miro3 November 2023The best decision I ever made was doing an underwater maternity photoshoot with Paul. I feel incredibly lucky that someone in UK offers this type of photography. Paul’s aesthetics and taste make the photos look out of this world. He’s a true gentleman who makes you feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Every penny spent is justified by the huge effort he puts into the shoot, including having assistance, scuba diving equipment, lighting, renting the pool and using top photography gear. Thank you!Naomi Smith19 August 2023I had the pleasure of working with Paul, shooting headshots and body shots… It was a wonderful experience - so professional and enjoyable, and Paul made me feel very comfortable & welcome!

Amazing photographer and really lovely guy! Will defo be shooting with Paul again. :) 10/10.Jess Orchard17 January 2023Paul kindly organised a 1:1 studio lighting course for me. It was such a great experience, I came home buzzing with ideas and information. As a ‘natural light photographer’ I was very much out of my comfort zone. But over the morning session, Paul clearly and patiently explained how to setup lighting in a studio. Paul is really knowledgeable and professional and the course was just what I needed to start me off on my studio work. The session included a model who was very professional and easy to work with. All in all, I highly recommend Paul if you are looking to expand your knowledge on anything to do with studio lighting / headshots etc.. he is your man!Scarlett Lathey14 December 2022I had such an amazing shoot with Paul, I had never done anything like it before and he made me feel so comfortable The end pictures are incredible with such a variety to choose from.Georgia Billiard-Edwards12 December 2022Amazing experience with Paul!
