Hi Paul, I have stumbled across your site and am completely in love with your pictures. I have been looking into pet photography as something i would love to do and have no idea how to even start, maybe one day i will visit one of your training days! the way you manage to capture expressions is amazing and inspiring. Keep up the good work!

Thanks Paul for a very wet, but fantastic shoot of the dogs! Glad that we braved the weather as pics turned out good. A mixture of muddy fun pics and beautiful portraits made it sooo hard to choose the pics to print! Wish you all the best Paul!

Hello, Paul I learnt so much about photographing dogs. I have a greater understanding of animal behaviour, maximising the enviroment, composition, light and especially auto focus control. Thanks. I

Paul - thank you so much for such a lovely set of photographs - Buddy looks wonderfully old and wise and Merry just looks - well very merry! It will be a nightmare choosing which to have, but especiallly when I have to part with poor old Bud, this will be a wonderful reminder - thanks.

Thank you Paul and Kathryn for an excellent course last week. The balance of practical and theory was just right. i learnt a huge amount from the two days, and it has been an inspiration to further my pet photography. Please let me know if you plan to do a follow up course. Thanks, Jo :-)

Thank you so much for spending hours taking endless photos of my dogs, which has resulted in the most fabulous collection. My biggest problem now is deciding which to choose, although family and friends have already suggested purchasing some for me as Christmas presents! Your genuine love of animals enhances your skills in photography, and the results are truly incredible. I shall be recommending you to all my friends. Thank you again.

Paul, what a pure pleasure it was to attend your first workshop here in the USA. I have no doubt that many others on this side of the pond will enjoy your future workshops and seminars. I think one of the most valuable things I learned was to "listen" to what the pet is "telling" you. Although it's easier said than done --- their expressions and signals pass by in mere 10ths of a second! --- I was so glad to have your help and guidance in exploring a completely new field of photography. I can easily see why you're so deserving of the accolades and awards from your fellows there in Scotland and the UK. Thanks, once again for an enjoyable experience!

Hi Paul, Thank you so much for choosing Space... for your very first Pet Seminar in the USA! I can only hope it was as wonderful of an experience for you as it was for us to have you here. Your cute and whitty personality made it such fun and most important what a great learning experience. I completely admire how important your pets safety and well being are always put first. I made a joke to you about you being an animal whisper and you laughed, but I truley believe you have a special sense with amimals, it must be why your work is absolutley amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us and I would reccomend to anyone who has any pet photography interest, personally or professionally to take your workshop! Cheers and take Care of yourself - Vivian

Paul, what a pleasure it was to meet the man behind these awesome pet photos! I had a wonderful time at your workshop, learning and laughing, you've got a great sense of humor! I hope you enjoyed your visit to the United States and return for another workshop, I'd love to do it again.

Just seen the photos of our beautiful greyhound Sal and they are absoloutely gorgeous - I have to confess they brought a tear to my eye (a fact my husband hasn't stoppped slagging me off for!). I think the most important thing is that they capture her personality perfectly - the soulful (slightly gormless) expression and the ubiquitous one ear up, one ear down. You have made choosing a really difficult job!

My name is Sylvie and this is a little note from me on April's Pet Photography Course that I attended. Dear All, you may have already warmed to Paul after seeing his so unique photographs and maybe perhaps, he became your daily inspiration like it happened for me. However, I have to say, this is just a thin thin slice of what there is. The course itself was invaluable to me with so much food for thought and making my mind marvellously clear and refocused. Nevertheless, I highly doubt I would feel that way if not for Paul. He is so easy to be around; so genuine and honest. A kind of teacher that you look up to and respect and still feel very comfortable with. He would praise but not patronise; he would point out what doesn't work, but also show you how to improve it (in his humble opinion); he would motivate and not just say: everything will be fine; he would confirm it to you that it will indeed be hard and difficult, but also so rewarding and satisfying when you achieve what you aimed at.

Hi Paul! After picking up Milly's photos today, we just wanted to let you know that we love them all, they are perfect and worth every single penny. You have captured her personality so well, and have actually made her look well behaved! They really are wonderful, you have exceeded our expectations ten fold. We may be slightly biased because she's our dog, but we think they're the best photos we've ever seen, they could be straight out of a book or magazine. We've been showing them to people all day and they have all agreed that they're amazing - lots of 'wow' and 'ahh' sounds were being made! The photos will be getting pride of place, and we'll be recommending you to anyone who'll listen. We just wish we'd found you when she was still a puppy! We'll be making up for lost time though - we're already talking about getting some more done in the summer! Thanks again!

Hi Paul, wanted you to know that we thoroughly enjoyed your seminar and now looking forward to buying your book and the other two that you recommended.

Just seen the photos that Paul took of Beau and what can i say? they are better than i could of ever imagined! Paul has captured Beau's personality to a tee and at the same time she had a ball. Considering we came so close to losing her only a few weeks before she now looks amazing! We now have pictures of her that we can cherish forever, the only hard part is deciding which ones to get printed off! Once again big thank you's to Paul and his wife Catherine for fitting Beau in at such short notice and going out of there way for the shoot.

Thanks Paul for the fabulous pictures of our persians, Bowie and Ramsay. We are delighted with them and Craig forgives Bowie for sitting on his speakers.
