Private. Luxury. Bespoke.

Unique photographic expeditions

"Of course we liked the ability to access a professional who knew the camera equipment extremely well, and we also liked having someone who was familiar with the location we had chosen, including all the best places to shoot.

What we also loved was Paul himself - his personality, his openness, his significant knowledge about photography, and his familiarity with such a variety of camera systems. But most importantly, we enjoyed Paul’s willingness to exchange his expertise and the fact that he was a great teacher."
