“A massive THANK YOU to Paul.  Why? 
There are so many reasons:
Careful preparation and planning
Patience and understanding
Empathy with the subjects
Creative editing
Awesome images!

Paul blends professionalism with friendliness - a great combination

This wasn't automotive photography - on the back of my automotive photography Bryn asked me to photograph a session of his TagTiv8 at a school for web, print and social media.

Unexpected message received out of the blue!

Morning Paul, I was going through your galleries last night. They are astounding, and that's on a standard Samsung smartphone - heaven knows how good they look on high resolution laptops and even bigger screens.

Adore the silver Jag XK from Bangers and Cash.

Next two texts are reactions I had, off the cuff, from friends
<<High End, Obviously>>
<<That's awesome.  So incredibly polished and professional
He must get loads of top work>>

Fantastic!

Paul - I'm not Simon Cowell, but you've got the X Factor.

"If you want to make the best of your car or bike or other vehicle for selling or other purposes look no further than Paul - very friendly, helpful professional work with an excellent eye for detail and eye catching angles all got superb results despite far from ideal weather and locations - see https://paulhildreth.smugmug.com/Automotive-Photoshoot-Car-For-Sale-2006-Suzuki-Grand-Vitara/ and https://paulhildreth.smugmug.com/Automotive-Photoshoot-Toyota-RAV4-Convertible/ 👍👍👍."

We own a small business called (ho-dee-ay) which develops photo-based card games without rules for people living with dementia. Each set has a theme with photos from a single photographer. Last year, knowing our next theme was going to be about cars, we went searching for a photographer. We found Paul through his Instagram account after hours and hours of searching hashtags. Before coming across his account, we looked at thousands of photos. There were many beautiful ones, but nothing was quite right. Then came @pmhimages_cars. We were immediately drawn to how real the photos felt--how authentic. They were vivid, high-quality, sometimes gritty, and always approachable. We felt like we were at the car shows he was documenting, which is exactly what we wanted for our customers. So we took a chance and messaged him. When Paul wrote back that not only was he interested, but that he had experience with dementia in his family, we knew we had found our guy. After working with him over the next few months to select the right photos for the set, we discovered that we had found a photographer who cared not only about his four-wheeled subjects, but also about the humans who would be looking at the photos. We feel so lucky to have Paul and his amazing cars as a part of our (ho-dee-ay) team!

I have known Paul (and family) for a very long time (since the 1980ies), and so long is his ever increasing passion with photography. I approached Paul during a private visit to Switzerland in 2019 to take some impromptu beauty shots of my MG MGB Roadster as I didn't have a good set at the time. And splendid they turned out! Some years later I had to sell the car for family reasons. When I was starting the selling process I used a selection of these shots - and they greatly helped getting the car advertised and finally quickly sold. Thanks Paul for the photos and your "hand" in the selling of the car where you had some fine rides in.

I had a VW Golf R I wanted to sell. I contacted Paul about taking some photos of it for me so I could attach them to the for sale advertisement. Paul was completely on the ball and in no time at all an appointment was made. He came along bang on appointment time and took a load of photos from all different angles and positions. Within no time at all the photos were edited and sent along to me. The photos were absolutely amazing and I'm in no doubt at all the photos on the advertisement grabbed buyers attention and it sold straight away. I can't recommend Paul highly enough, nothing is too much trouble for him.

I 1st met Paul at the Ripley car show where he was impressed with how my seat Leon fr Mk3 looked, with its modifications and how he met the skeletons Alfred and Lucy which made it on the spooky look Leon. Paul is a great person to speak to . The photos are spot on of what he does. I met Paul again at Magna science museum at Sheffield for the European car show where he took some more of my Leon inside which I was well impressed when I saw them on social media. Will use Paul for some more photos of my Leon when it’s had some changes and modifications. I would highly recommend Paul for photos of their motor.
