“Action4Youth have engaged Paul on several occasions and have found his professionalism and ability to understand what we need from the shoot extremely helpful, making the job much easier for us.

We have used him at a number of high profile events – on one occasion at extremely short notice – always delivering excellent results. He is professional and unobtrusive and has provided some really exciting images that capture not just the key moments at the events but also encapsulating the fun and enjoyment of the young people with whom we work.” Nick Lund, Development Director Action4Youth

 “We have worked with Paul for 3 years, with Paul originally taking photographs of our Service’s Annual Awards Night. This year we also used Paul when we had a visit to our Service from King Charles, and we are always delighted with the results. Paul’s photos are very professional, and is efficient at getting the photos back in a timely fashion. He listens to your brief, understands what is required, and provides excellent ideas and feedback”. Abdi Ali, London Ambulance Service NHS Trust
