Paul Ferradas Photography

I wanted some shots for my startup before we pitched to investors and got our website up. Paul did a good job getting some pretty beautiful shots for us. He’s definitely in a different league than 90+% of the photographers you’ll find on Unilocal.Nice work Paul!

We recently hired Paul to shoot our 2014 catalog for our hair accessory company, HOTHEAD accessories. To say that Paul was AMAZING is an understatement. He far exceeded our expectations! He was competitively priced, extremely professional, incredibly talented, and a pleasure to work with. He was very timely in getting right back to us with answers to our questions, and it was clear that he fully invests himself in every project he takes on. He made us feel completely comfortable to ask him as many questions as we needed, and he was 100% prepared on the multiple days of our shoot. Not only was he creative and professional, but he actually delivered the final proofs before our deadline.
Paul truly brought our vision to life, and through our collaboration, helped us create an end product that we are really proud of. Whenever we need a photographer in the future we will only be reaching out to him! I can’t recommend him more highly!!!

Everyone at HMM Model Agency absolutely ADORES working with Paul Ferradas and his 5-​Star team. We are very fortunate to have such a talented fashion photographer in our area. We trust him with our models – he has an amazing eye for editorial and advertising concepts and his images are used throughout our industry on a regular basis. We highly recommend Paul to ALL our models (and clients)-he is worth every penny and everyone benefits from the final photos.
We hired Paul to shoot our HOW TO MODEL Videos for YouTube and it was a great experience – he is kind, patient and really enjoys his work –and it shows. The effort he puts into every shoot or video is a true reflection of his professionalism .not to mention extremely succesful outcome for HMM as well ;)
We feel very lucky having Paul Ferradas on our team. and we know you will too!

I’m a full time model and have only paid two photographers in my whole career to shoot me, Paul is one of them. His work captures every clients best features. He’s shot for big name companies and clients throughout his own career and also shoots people’s most important day of their lives (weddings). That’s a pretty big thing to put into one mans hands but people continue to trust him with that responsibility because of his continued professionalism and consistency in his quality of work and that’s why I contacted him for his services. You get what you pay for so be it hiring him for wedding photos or photos to launch a career he’s your man

Haha I feel like all I’m doing is writing photography related reviews.
Ok, so Paul’s photography work speaks for itself. You just have to look at his portfolio to see that.
My review is specifically towards a photography and retouching workshop that Paul did this past weekend. And the workshop rocked.
Here are the small details that made it great —
1. Paul assembled a world class team. The model was really pretty and very professional (even though she was super young), and the makeup artist Jackie did a fantastic job.
2. The theme of the workshop is lighting and retouching. And Paul really took his time to set up different lighting scenarios and to show us on the computer the cause-​effect of light positioning /​light intensity, use of a beauty dish with a cover, with a grid, etc. etc. Along the process, even if I wasn’t manipulating the lights myself, I felt like I got a much better appreciation of how lighting works.
3. We were only supposed to do a beauty retouch, and spontaneously he, the model, and the makeup artist threw in an extra shoot so we all got to do another practice round.
4. The workshop was hands on. We all got a chance to take our own pictures. I was particularly nervous as I’m pretty new at this, but Paul helped me feel more comfortable with making sure my camera settings were correct and that my exposure was correct.
5. Retouching tips. By taking the time to walk us through his whole process, I learned many useful retouching tips on how to make things look flawless, yet natural. It’s not an easy process, but the results are worth it. I was inspired enough to go back home and rework some of my old pictures. We ran almost two hours over the original scheduled workshop time, but Paul didn’t rush, and we walked out with a better appreciation of what it takes.
6. Paul was even thoughtful enough to set out water bottles for us.
What would I change? I definitely felt I got more than my money’s worth, but in the spirit of improvement, here are very minor things I would have liked to see different —
Intros. I didn’t really get to know my fellow classmates very well, and we did all sit together for a large part of the day. A quick round of intros and our respective backgrounds would have been nice.
Music. There was a little bit of initial awkward silence as we all stood up to shoot the model one at a time. Maybe the mood would have lightened up faster with a little bit of music.
But those two things are really quite minor relative to the rest of the workshop. This experience was highly recommended and I’ll gladly take any future workshop with Paul again.

Paul is a wonderful photographer. I have worked with quite a few photgraphers and I would put him up there with the top ones. He is very professional and gives great advice. He has an eye for what he wants to capture. The photos come out amazing, and he’s work to touch them up speaks for itself. As a model, I would def work with him again. He allows you to give your input on the ones you like and we work together to get the best shots. As with some photographers who only give you 3 or 4 that they like. He has an eye for fashion and lifestyle shots (as that was what we did). I would highly recommend him. He is a super nice guy.

I am a professional Hairstylist and have worked very closley with Paul on numerous Weddings, Photoshoots and Campaigns for various Companies and Professional Sports associations. He is very professional and talented beyond belief. Photography is a art and Mr. Ferradas is a Picasso! The finished work I’ve received is the highest caliber and always in my hand before normal processing time. One of the greatest post production editors I’ve ever worked with he continually impresses me with new techniques and finishes! I continue to utilize his knowledge and skill for my projects and is recommended to all my clients who want the best for their special day, portfolios or ad campaign… Now that he has started incorporating videoography to his arsenal, his work is beyond amazing… simply put, Paul Ferradas is excellent!!!

Paul did a fantastic job on the product photography we had him do. From the very beginning Paul was very upfront about the budget and cost and stuck to them to the end. Paul is timely and thorough in his communications as well as friendly and approachable in person. He understood the needs of our project and executed well. Paul is also great at working with models and was really able to get the performance we needed out of them. In the end, the photos themselves (most important part) turned out perfect and we’ve received a lot of positive feedback already! Thanks Paul.

Paul was an excellent choice for a photographer for my daughter’s first birthday. Our party was both indoors and outdoors and he got excellent photos in both environments. He took so much many fabulous candid shots of my daughter, our family and all of her baby friends. He was able to capture special moments in a totally non-​intrusive way. Paul is polite, professional and very responsive to requests. I highly recommend Paul as a photographer for any of special events which you want preserved with beautiful photographs to last a lifetime.

What a great photographer with such great talent and an eye for photography. Paul did a photoshoot for me and I had so much fun doing it. I did it to capture my youth and a bit of a present for my boyfriend. During the shoot, it was absolute fun. My make-​up artist came out and she had a blast and we all had lots of fun. He took soo many great pictures it was hard to pick out the ones I wanted. I personally think he’s one of the best photographers I’ve met. Great for modelling portfolios. Go check them out, they are gorgeous. He’s definently one of the best photographers to work with!
