As a previously established UK commercial model, Paul Reiffer had the opportunity to work with some of the best photographers around the world. As a result, he decided to switch to “the other side of the lens” to make use of some of the skills and experience he’d picked up along the way. Now an Internationally published photographer, his base is in London, but he also shoots in his Southampton studio from time to time along with facilities and locations all along the South Coast of England. Beyond studio shooting, he also works on location both in the UK and abroad.
Now an award-winning photographer, in 2010 Paul gained Associateship distinctions from both the British Institute of Professional Photography (ABIPP) and the Royal Photographic Society (ARPS). In 2011, this was followed by Associateships from the Society of Wedding & Portrait Photographers (ASWPP), the Society of International Fashion & Glamour Photographers (ASIFGP) and the Society of International Travel & Tourism Photographers (ASITTP).
For agency represented models, Paul is able to offer limited testing shoots where he’s looking for a certain style to expand his own portfolio as a photographer. Otherwise, he is available to shoot for competitive rates, inclusive of make-up artist and stylist provision as well as retouching of the final images.

And what about the time spent *not* taking pictures? Well, that’d be taken up by being a bit of a geek in general (hey, it pays his bills!) and also a lot of travelling around the world. He climbed mount Fuji in 2010 – he’s also a keen snowboarder as well as being a licensed pilot and skydiver. So yes, if you’re ever in a plane with him and he asks you to “just hold this for a second”, you might just want to check that he doesn’t have a funny looking back-pack on…!
