My Paradise Shoot Reviews 32

I went on the “curves in Paradise” trip to Morocco. I had a really good time shooting and experiencing some tourist sights too. Lots of quality content, great company and the host, Micheal, was a delight.

Michael is simply the best photographer around. The whole process was managed efficiently. The outcome exceeded my expectations. The amazing photos he provided, which have significantly boosted my profile. Many thanks!

I had an amazing time during the my paradise shoot trip to Mykonos & Santorini, exploring both of these Greek islands in such a short space of time. Fortunately for me I actually ended up doing this trip pretty much solo as the other girls dropped out, so I had the rooms to myself! Bargain. The shoots themself were great and as it was just me we had pretty much the whole day to shoot & we could be flexible with when we started and finished. I can always count on Michael to produce amazing images!!

The accommodation itself was exactly as pictured and was lovely in both places! Definitely enjoyed my time exploring and producing images on these Greek islands! Can’t really fault my experience.

Working with Michael is an absolute dream! He’s incredibly talented and has a true eye for capturing your best angles. Every photo he delivers is high quality, beautifully composed, and full of life. What sets Michael apart is not just his skill behind the camera, but also the incredible experiences he creates during travel shoots. Every destination feels like a new adventure, and he always manages to find the most breathtaking spots to shoot in. If you’re looking for stunning photos and a genuinely enjoyable experience, I can’t recommend this company enough!

Michael has absolutely smashed my expectations into the stratosphere yet again! I've yet to meet anyone who can even come close to rivalling his ability to capture such iconic images that are all front page worthy. As such, I travel as many miles necessary, including air miles, to shoot with Michael and always will do. Thank you once again for raising the bar and leaving me speechless. 5****

Now what can I say about my experience with this company apart from the fact that I had one of the most amazing travel experiences with them. As a new model looking to create portfolio photos I was blown away by my pictures from our trip to Bali. Not only were my photos exceptional, the whole experience was amazing. Professional organised and planned itineraries, everyday had something new. I have already booked another trip with them! Highly recommended. Thanks again!

I had an amazing experience with MPS. It was a well organised trip with plenty to do keeping us busy. The photographer Micheal was professional, helpful, funny and helped us throughout the trip.
We had plenty of opportunity to shoot content, had loads of photoshoots but also had enough relaxation time.
Our trip to Dubai was an amazing experience and will have memories for a life time. I will definitely be back to experience another country :)

Amazing experience with MPS, Michael is a fantastic photographer, and is super funny too.

Our short stay was very well organised, we traveled safely from one location to the next, thanks to Michael. At every location we had the opportunity to not only take some unique photographs and content, but also to feel a bit touristy and take it all in.

I will definetly come back to MPS, it is an unique experience and created some life long memories x

I had the pleasure of attending a trip with my paradise shoot to Miami & Jamaica.
Wow what a experience!! From start to finish I enjoyed every second, the amount of content I got From this trip was amazing.
I was so happy with how my images turned out and got a lot of compliments from them!
Everything was well organised, including transfer, shoot days, meals and free days!
I would highly recommend this trip if you are looking to break into the modelling industry and need a portfolio or even if you are a model and need some updated images!
Can’t wait to attend the next trip!

The best trip experience ever. Everything was organised for us and it went really well. Amazing photos and videos too which have really helped my profile. Thank you.

From start to finish curves in paradise was AMAZING!
From arriving at the airport, transport straight to the villa. The villa was absolutely stunning! Exactly what was shown on the itinerary✨
First day was pretty laid back and everyone got to know each other which was nice!
Felt super empowered after the Curvy Girls workshop🫶🏼
Hair and makeup by Dilani was absolutely stunning on both days so thank you!
Michael was always full of high spirit and positive vibes! With great guidance on poses etc, can’t wait to see the photos!

I would absolutely recommend a MPS shoot to anyone who’s starting off in modelling or already got experience.

Amazing trip overall!💗
Thank you guys

I’ve done some photoshoots with Michael but this was my very first shoot abroad - in Santorini and I think it was the best shooting experience I’ve ever had - the location was just perfect and the photos turned out just stunning thanks to Michael who is a professional photographer who knows how to take the best pictures!!
Thank you MyParadiseShoot for this amazing experience that I will never forget.

I was very impressed using this company for my shoot in Ibiza. Despite the late notice, they were still able to book me a great photographer Shauna who was very good her job. I recommend my paradise shoot

This was my first experience travelling with My Paradise Shoot and will definitely use you again. The trip was really flawless (despite my worries of travelling because of covid) due in large part to the level of organisation before and during the trip we were provided with. I have travelled with some other modelling excursions but never with this level of attention to detail when it comes to organisation. You are provided with a daily schedule in an itinerary and each day briefed on what to expect. Full assistance and advise was also provided before each shoot by our photographer Michael in choosing the right outfits that will work on-set. All in all, I totally enjoyed my time in Mexico. Thank you very much Aimie and the MPS team for going the extra mile to ensure my experience in was spectacular!

Before I write the 'negatives' I experienced, I want to note that this is based solely on my own experience and expectations, and purely written to advise others based on what I experienced - please take from this what you wish and make your own decisions. I had a good time and experienced many things in just 7 days. It is a great experience for those that may be new to modelling, I just feel a few things could have been done better and I would appreciate if MPS take my criticism constructively and understand I am not here to tarnish a business. Unfortunately for me, the negatives outweighed the positives and had an overall impact on my experience.

From before the trip began, it seemed very organised with an itinerary and information communicated via WhatsApp which was great - although some information stated in the itinerary soon became false once arriving in Dubai.
The first minor disappointment began when I was left waiting 45 minutes once going through security at the airport for the transfer, which wouldn't have been so bad if I wasn't alone. But waiting alone and having nobody there waiting to collect me isn't very professional. They should have been tracking the flight and waiting at the meeting point for arrivals, but this wasn't the case. No biggie though.

The first main disappointment for me was the accommodation. On the itinerary we were told we would be staying in Downtown Dubai in a Penthouse Suite. We instead arrived to a small 2 bedroom apartment with no balcony by Dubai Marina - around 40 minutes from where we were told we would be. This means the trip clearly profited from those of us paying the full price of the expected penthouse suite... that we didn't even get to stay in or shoot in!! I understand as per the T&C's that if there are less attendees the accommodation would be changed - but it states that the alternative accom would be the same standard as the accom promised - it was instead far from this!

If being cooped up in a small apartment with no balcony or windows that opened wasn't bad enough - the itinerary stated further contradictions. It clearly stated on the itinerary that attendees were responsible for their own safety and that we were to inform MPS of our whereabouts when not within the group, which is standard for any shoot trip I've been on, and I agreed to this which is why I went on the trip. This soon became far from the truth!! I was told by Michael (the photographer that was staying with us) when letting him know that I was going for dinner with a friend, that I was unable to leave the apartment unless I wanted to nip to the supermarket, and that MPS was responsible for our safety??? - which completely contradicted the itinerary!!! He even laughed at me and tried to patronise me. We were finished shooting by 7pm each evening, sometimes by 5pm, which meant that all evening we had to stay in the apartment.

I wasn't as bothered about seeing my friends (although I find it awful to hold people hostage of what they want to do, especially when stating before the trip that we were responsible for our own safety and just to let MPS know of our whereabouts when not in the group). I was more bothered at the fact that my job as an Influencer requires me to post lifestyle pictures i.e. in restaurants and on the street, which a lot of the outfits I bought on the trip to model were dresses and evening outfits. I instead had to shoot these in the apartment, which was ridiculous as I could've stayed in the UK to do this. I wouldn't have minded so much if there was a big balcony (as advertised) but instead I had to take these photos in a bedroom and living room/kitchen area - not ideal.

Overall, changing the itinerary without agreements from the trip attendees is not acceptable and would have influenced my decision to attend the trip - maybe that's why they do it?!!

I then discovered (when trying to leave at 9am for a wash and blowdry appointment underneath the apartment) that we were LOCKED IN each night and the key was being kept in the photographer's room!!!! He was in the shower at the time I needed to leave, and I ended up 15 minutes late to my hair appointment. From that moment on I was left feeling extremely uncomfortable and unsafe about being locked in the apartment with no way out and no access to a key. This is also a safety hazard if anything was to happen. I emailed MPS directly about this after the trip and they tried to defend this behaviour of locking us in and keeping the key out of reach as if we were children, which I found even more disturbing.

MPS also did not state on the itinerary that we had to pay for everything on it. Surely if it's somewhere they want us to go/shoot at, they should cover this cost i.e. Aquarium/EXPO which I would not choose to do if I had to pay. I wasn't told until I had no choice. In future would be worth noting this for people!

So I have a lot to say about this business unfortunately, my overall experience with this business has not been the best, I'm being honest I did have a wonderful time in Dubai, its an incredible place and met a wonderful friend, MUAs were incredible, actually the best by far within my modelling career. So first of all it started rocky by wanting a refund due to covid but I wasn't allowed basically 🤔 I didn't think it was right and apparently they had it in their term's and conditions but it should NOT be in there! But I wanted to go away due to not going away for a bit, so I decided to go and I didn't want to bother with everything which is bad. It was a great trip but some other things were rocky by other people but those weren't a problem for me but other people think differently and you should recpect there opinions and move forward and listen, I payed a lot of money, I payed 2 grand and 50! I don't think it was all that, I missed my flight due to wrong covid test which I didn't know and got told it was fine by others, had to pay more for a covid test which was unfortunate, it wasn't my fault or Pardiseshoot, yes but I had one message deciding what to do and to pick me up?! I was very confused and thought it was very out of order to even think that, also I paid for pick up and drop off for the airport which is on the list of what you expect! Very mad on them switching sizes on apartments from 2 not making it but we paid for it and we was expecting bigger and better and they basically earned more money off it 😳 bad! I was confused by certain things on paying more out there which was okay but letting us know would be more appreciated, unfortunately I had a cocky and rude comment by email from one of the staff saying 'oh what we going to buy next all your food' and I didn't get an apology just ignored, I was only asking questions as I was confused, I even got to the point where I had no respect for them, but I have to say my emails were quite blunt based on my experience, I even stopped with kind regards, just because I was fed up unfortunately, I didn't agree with, we was kept in like children but we was responsible for our own safety, that was very confusing for me and by others, I disagreed on how they edit, I've had a lot of people discussing based on this, I made sure I wasn't too edited or my body shape etc wasn't changed, I don't think this should even be a thing, only if the client wants that but it's something I've never agreed with, I had odd layouts sent to me and couldn't see my finished images which was strange and a faff but finally I got my images and I'm very happy with some but not all, sun is way too much on some but I'd had enough, I had 2 videos one is very disappointing, 1 minute of the same thing and angles and quality aren't the best. I did hear the photographer Michael is the owner, I don't know if it's true but I think he needs to be more involved and also with his staff, I think this business needs improving, a lot of things were disappointing and unfortunately I wouldn't recommend or do again.

I also think people need to let there opinions out on reviews instead of behind their backs, so people are aware and same for the business.

But thanks again for the time on my images and hope this review changes your recpect for others and on business too.

Excellent! I thoroughly loved my photoshoot experience. I highly recommend My Paradise Shoot.

What an amazing trip I had to Dubai! Highly recommend mps. I got to see a whole new side of Dubai and explore the best places thanks to mps quad biking definitely been my highlight.
Micheal throughout the trip was lovely and we got some great shots. Thankyou so much can’t wait for the next trip!!

Iceland was definitely one of the most incredible and unforgettable experiences,
This shoot in particular was very diverse compared to my previous shoots, not only did we manage to create some extraordinary content/shots but I also learned so much about the Icelandic history and culture whilst I was there which was really eye open

This is an experience of a lifetime and I would 100% recommend it to anyone! Lastly I would like to say a massive thank you to Michael for being such a good sport, it’s always a pleasure to work with you.

I had such an incredible experience going to Dubai with MPS! There was the right balance of organised activities and free time, we did so many fun things including quad biking in the desert, spending the morning on a yacht, and going to beaches - and these were also all great locations for shoots. Would define recommend, and would love to go again!
