More about Paul S....

What do you love about your job?

The thing I love most about photography is all the different people and personalities I meet throughout the weeks various projects. Exchanging conversation and capturing a special moment is a wonderful way to work.

What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?

I shoot architectural projects for realestate and Airbnb listings. I have clients that need a steady stream of images for their fashion and lifestyle brands, usually content destined for their personal and business instagram and social media channels. All these shoots are made special by taking the time to discuss the project face to face with the client and also to allocate time for experimentation, a good shoot will get a mix of planned and unique shots.

I specialise in studio and natural light portraits capturing my clients in my 2nd floor studio and my local park. I try to make the experience special by getting my clients to choose their favourite music to play during the shoot, offering chilled bottled water and friendly chat throughout.

Awards, honors, and recognitions received

I have received recognition for charitable and volunteer photography work I've done over the years, mainly for local fundraising and community events.

A fun fact about this photographer

I sung in a kiwi punk rock band called Funk Mutha when I was 17.
