Capturing Moments          Creating Memories 

Paul

Hi, I’m Paul and welcome to my website! Thank you for dropping by! 
A little about myself:
First and foremost I’m a Dad - that’s my favourite job, and I know how precious each moment with your kids can be (which is why I love taking photos of families and creating treasured memories that you can keep for a lifetime) 
I have been interested in photography since I was a kid, and have had over 15 years of experience with professional photography equipment and services. 
I would primarily class myself as a photographer who works within the performing arts sector, or an events photographer - but this means I’m also experienced in headshots and portraits, and it means that I understand how to spot a special moment and capture it, so at any special event, be it a theatrical performance or a wedding, I am able to capture the magic! 
I consider my role as your photographer as someone who will ensure you are comfortable, and safe in the knowledge that I am always looking for the best shot to capture your event, or making sure your staged portraits still look natural. 
I understand the responsibility that being a photographer means and the trust that you are placing in me to capture the forever memories. 
I have volunteered working with children and youth for over a decade. I have a chaperone licence, an enhanced DBS certificate and have completed many enhanced safeguarding courses and training. I am also first aid trained and have completed GDPR compliance training. 
I have extensive experience of working with people with disability and neurodivergence.
I am also LGBTQ+ friendly and please note that I include the T in that wholeheartedly. 
As for the (boring) necessary parts - I am also fully insured, and a registered sole trader. 
I am very proud to be the named “official” photographer for The Talentz youth musical theatre school, and for The Tunbridge Wells Musical Theatre Choir. I really enjoy building long lasting professional and friendly relationships with people and organisations (such as repeated work for Southborough Lions and Southborough Street, The Community Panto, Tunbridge Wells Lantern Parade and Tunbridge Wells Fringe Festival) - ensuring they know they can count on me to get the photos they want - and I hope you and I can do the same! 
Please don’t hesitate to contact me.
