Sarjana – Jan2019

Shooting with Paul was an amazing experience. Apart from being an incredible photographer, he is a warm person and goes out of his way to make sure that the model is comfortable.

It was my first lingerie shoot and it went more smoothly than most shoots I’ve been a part of. Also, the pictures were stunning. I’m still having a hard time choosing the best ones from the lot.

I’d 100% recommend Paul’s services to anyone who is looking to get some great head/body shots clicked

Paul was amazing to work with, so professional and considering of the dancers experience. It was my first time having body shots so naturally was a little nervous but Paul was so confident in his art I felt completely reassured that he would capture some great shots. I didn’t even have to ask to look at the pictures throughout the shoot, the constant updates were so helpful for me to see what was working. I was over the moon with the photos I now have for my portfolio – thank you again Paul!!

Would definitely re-book Paul! I would also highly recommend listening to his advice. The engagement shoot was a great insight into how our wedding photos would turn out – and they were beautiful!

We recently used Paul to take our wedding photos.
Our photos are exactly what we hoped for.
Paul listened to what we wanted and made us both feel very relaxed on the day.
Highly recommended.

From the initial phone conversations to the final finished photos, Paul was brilliant to work with. A lot of our team members were very nervous about having their photo taken, especially in the office, but each of them commented on how instantly at ease Paul made them feel. They really enjoyed the shoot and everyone was pleased with the results that meant we had a relaxed yet professional set of shots that really captured the feel of our leadership team. Thank you Paul!

Paul is fantastic! He made me feel so at ease with the shoot (which i was quite nervous for) and we had fun! Great images, which he got back to me in less than 24 hours. He was great with suggesting angles, lighting and backgrounds, as well as showing me the pictures as we went. It was also really nice to be able to go through the photos with him at the end and get his advice on which were best/would work. Doesn’t overcharge and a great deal for students!

Thanks again Paul. x

Paul took some absolutely stunning shots in a wide variety of styles of myself my partner and son. He was very welcoming skilled and professional it made our family shoot a real pleasure. I was a bit nervous as it was our first family shoot but Paul did make us all feel so relaxed no rush at all very patient. He was very good at keeping my son in engaged who has adhd and asd and can find focused tasks a real struggle, highly recommend!

I’ve had a few photoshoots now with Paul including underwater and can honestly say it has been a pleasure each time. Instantly feel at ease with him especially as I’m no pro at this but he’s helped to guide and encourage me to get the best shot. Highly recommend him.

AMAZING!! Paul is so patient and even if you’re nervous and unsure, he gives you ideas of poses to get the very best out of you. I felt totally at ease, really comfortable, and excited for the various different planned photoshoots at Mermaid Camp. The real test comes in the water when things tend not to go where you want them to, but there’s no rush in getting a good photo, and he kept going for hours in the water to make sure we were all happy. Can’t wait to work with again in the future.

I recently got some new headshots taken by Paul and I have to say I was very impressed with his work. I felt comfortable and relaxed during the session and Paul was attentive to my individual needs. He helped me to secure the shots that I was after and throughout the session, he threw in ideas of his own to make the shoot a real collaboration of work. Paul would show me the shots on his camera frequently which I found a really helpful part of the process.
After the shoot we sat down and went through the shots together which, again, was a really helpful and personal touch to the session.
When my shots were chosen, he touched them up and had them sent to me within 24 hours. He then took the time to chat with me on the phone to ensure everything was to my satisfaction.
To describe my overall experience, Paul was professional, personal and I am delighted with the outcome. Highly recommended!

Paul is an amazing photographer and knows exactly what he’s doing with headshots. He knows how picky the industry is so makes sure the photos taken are perfect! He made me very comfortable and got the photos back to me extremely quickly. I will definitely be returning when I need any more photos in the future!

Had a fantastic session with Paul on Friday. He really listened to what I wanted to come away with (shots that are an accurate representation of what I look like.) He encouraged me to get a range of photographs. I felt very comfortable and was even allowed to choose my own background music! We even had a sit down session afterwards where we looked through the pictures and narrowed down the best ones. I would highly recommend him!

Paul is really great to work with! He makes an incredible amount of effort and makes you feel very comfortable. I won his competition and he treated me as any other customer which was great. On top of that he allowed me to have an opinion and let me see the photos so I was confident on how the session was going. The next day I got my photos through fully edited, brilliant service! Can’t recommend him enough.

I had head and body shots taken with Paul yesterday and I couldn’t be happier with the end results. Not only is he extremely helpful but made me feel comfortable throughout the entire session. The attention to details and lighting he pays in every picture is quite amazing and resulted in some lovely pictures. Paul always shows you the pictures throughout the shoot so you can see what you like and dislike. I would definitely recommend to anyone – especially dancers or performers. I will be using him again for sure!! Thank-you Paul.

Absolutely fantastic! Great value for money with superb results! Was a rare treat getting to meet the wonderful Wolfie as well x

Paul was amazing i felt very comfortable with him, he is an amazing photographer and i hate having headshots done and the first thing i said to him was these are the first headshots i actually can’t decide what one to pick there were so many good ones.

I asked Paul to take some new corporate-style headshots for work as mine were almost 10 years old and didn’t look like me anymore. Paul was professional and friendly, helping me feel relaxed and comfortable as I’m not a huge fan of being in front of the camera. He showed me the shots as we were going and I was so impressed – he quickly saw angles and light options that were most flattering and was great at giving me little tips but I didn’t feel too posed. I even now know some secrets to taking better family/friends pics! I’m really happy with my photos for Linked In etc – I highly recommend Paul if you too need you profile photo updating!

Couldn’t have asked for a better first photo shoot then my shoot today with Paul! Was such a good day and left feeling much more confident and happy with myself. He is a very genuine and nice man and really made me feel comfortable and relaxed during the whole shoot. I highly recommend Paul to any dancers or performers needing head/body shots for their portfolios! I love all my pictures – thank you so much!

I had my first shoot with Paul today and it was amazing! Paul takes a lot of care with his photography, making sure all the shots he takes are great ones! We covered a lot of outfits and different lighting / backdrops in roughly 2 and a half hours! Paul showed me the shots throughout the shoot so I knew exactly what each set looked like. At the end of the shoot, Paul took the time to go through the photos and let me choose my favourites, which was very difficult as they were all so good! Paul was recommended to me by another photographer I have worked with and I would highly recommend him to everyone! I will definitely shoot with Paul again in the future!

I won Paul’s free photoshoot competition on The Hustle. He is a fantastic photographer who captured me at my best! He made me feel really relaxed and comfortable. I got the edits back straight away on the same day a few hours after my shoot! Amazing! The photos look great and I’d highly recommend Paul to anyone.

I have been to Paul Dale twice now…once for headshots and the other for bodyshots. Both times I have got EXACTLY what I have been after. Paul goes the extra mile, changing backdrops, colours, angles etc to make sure you get lots of variety at the end to chose from.
Paul is so welcoming and makes you feel comfortable. I have enjoyed both my shoots and BOTH times I have been stuck as to what photos to choose because there are so many I like!! This never happens to me!! I 100% recommend Paul Dale Photography. I am sooo happy with the bodyshots that I have just had taken. Paul shows you the photos as you go along to make sure you are happy with lighting and facial expressions etc and to see if there’s anything you want to change. He is so quick in getting the photos back to you after the shoot too which is fantastic!

Absolute pleasure working with Paul for the second time. He is so lovely and wants the best outcome for you! Not only does he listen and deliver what you want, he will show you whilst shooting the back of the camera to see if you’re happy with his work. It is completely a two part shoot, he isn’t a happy snapper, and then at the end you realise you had a gap in your fringe or a piece of hair was out of place, he works with you! Couldn’t say a bad word.

I had the best experience on my shoot today with Paul. He was so relaxed and genuine it made the whole thing a breeze! After the shoot he talked me through what ones would look good and what I would logically need for my portfolio.AND he got them all back to me that day! I literally couldn’t have asked for a better experience! The pictures are amazing – I love them, thank you Paul!

Paul is now the only photographer I will use. I am not a model, or a dancer, or an actress, and quite frankly the first time I knew I was going to be doing a photo shoot I was quite anxious. This feeling didn’t last long, Paul sessions are fun, relaxed and completely professional from start to finish. It is clear that he takes huge pride in his finished pictures which are beautiful and get no end of complements. I will soon be returning for shoot number three.

Annie

Paul is a complete professional, and puts you at ease very naturally. I am not extremely confident with having my photo taken however, Paul knew exactly what lighting and angles to use to get great shots that I was pleased with. I would strongly recommend Paul to anyone who is looking to get head shots!!

Had an amazing shoot with Paul this morning and left feeling so empowered and confident with myself! If anyone needs body shots with someone who knows what their doing, or just wants a morning to feel good about themselves, this is the guy to go to! I’d recommend to all my performer friends AND non-performers who just want to have some feel good fun.
AND to make the day even better, he got the edited photos to me the same day!

I really enjoyed my shoot with Paul. I got the exact photos I was looking for. He made me feel confident in front of the camera which doesn’t always come naturally to me! I would highly recommend to other performers looking for head shots/body shots. My photos were edited very quickly and I am very impressed with them. Can’t wait to add them to my portfolio, thank you Paul!

Paul took great pictures at our dance school. He was lovely to work with, fab with the kids and managed to capture the lively enthusiasm of our pupils in natural action shots as well as some beautifully poised work from our dancers. Thanks!
