🎬 New Interview Release!

On the same day we filmed her monologue, I also worked with Centre Stage Icon Emmeleia on this laid-back interview piece.

The aim was to keep things relaxed and authentic, offering a glimpse of her off-stage personality and a different side to her as a performer.

These short films are a brilliant way for dancers, actors, and performers to stand out on camera and add something unique alongside their headshots or showreels.

If you’re looking to take that next step in promoting yourself, I’d love to help bring your story to life.

Watch out for more Dancer/Actor features coming soon!

🎬 New Monologue Video!

Here’s a brilliant performance by Centre Stage Icon Emmeleia, filmed as part of a creative collaboration.

She’s reworking lines from the movie Freaky Friday in a fun and expressive monologue.

I’m excited to be offering monologue filming in the near future, so stay tuned if you're an actor looking to showcase your skills on camera.

📝 Script excerpt from Freaky Friday, written by Heather Hatch & Leslie Dixon.
🎥 Filmed by Centre Stage

My Story

Who Am I?

My name is Paul Martin, and I am a full-time Dance, Fashion, and Commercial Photographer/Videographer.

Where Am I Located?

I live in Blyth, Northumberland.

What Did I Do Before Photography and Video?

I developed a strong affinity for the outdoors and sport at an early age. This affinity for sport pushed me to complete a Sports Science degree at Bedford University in 2002.

Despite maintaining a keen interest in sport, after university, I decided a career in the field was something I no longer wanted to pursue. During this transitional period in my life, I ended up working for several companies focused on the customer services sector. After performing and enjoying many aspects of these roles, I then began to reconsider my career path and in late 2003 landed a position as a Recruitment Specialist, a job I would perform over the next ten years.

When Did I Start My Photography and Video Journey?

In 2014 I picked up a camera for the first time, and I haven’t looked back since.

When Did I Start My Business, Centre Stage?

2016.

What Is My Shooting Style?

My shooting style is influenced by cinema and editorial photography. As well as manipulating light to craft shapes, I love the process of enhancing these features in Adobe software to add more depth and intrigue.

What Do My Clients Say About Me?

Paul is a great photographer. He has worked with my daughter on several occasions, and all the portfolios have been fantastic. He is creative, professional and straightforward to work with. Highly recommended! – Janine Rigg.

Paul is an excellent photographer. Friendly and professional. We are so happy with all our shots. I will be recommending! – Aimee Bowler.

My daughter loved her first photoshoot with Paul. We’ve enjoyed the photos he has taken of her at competitions, so it was very exciting to have this opportunity. Very relaxed and collaborative approach – I highly recommend Paul! – Sharon Hardy.

It was an easy-going shoot that provided so many beautiful images of my daughter. Photos are truly breathtaking! – Elaine Gorton.

Absolutely love all of my headshots! Was made to feel so comfortable and Paul was so accommodating with exactly what I wanted! Would recommend highly – Rebecca Charlton.
