Goddess Reviews

Patrick has a great way of making me feel good and I'm sure he does it to every other woman who enters his studio.

I left on a real high. I felt strong and powerful and lovely.

Last night Patrick sent through some images for me - just a taster from the session.

I'm in love with me today. Yes this is pure ego. Yes this is explosive self-love with huge respect for myself and a side of believing in my own fabulousness.

I can look at this photo and acknowledge that I'm a goddess.

If you're looking for photography that leaves you feeling empowered, honoured, and beautiful, then look no further. My session with Patrick was everything I'd hoped in a boudoir session and more. He was very intentional in creating a space where I not only felt safe, but I was able to be comfortable in my body. He is definitely a body liberator. This an inclusive and safe space. He will coach you to feel as beautiful and as sexy and as powerful as you'd like to be. If you're concerned at all about how to style or pose, don't worry. Patrick will coach you through all of it. The emphasis is on YOU. It goes without saying that the photos are sensational. But, more importantly, the essence of you and your beauty is what he captures. And, yes, you do leave an empowered goddess. It's not common to find photographers who are truly body activists and know how to honour and capture the beauty that is intrinsic in all bodies. I highly recommend his services!

I had a great experience here. I just turned 40 and wanted some fun pictures to celebrate. Patrick is a great photographer who used all his experience to get pictures that were brilliantly lit and beautifully composed. But even more important for me he took the time to understand the kind of pictures I wanted and worked to capture my 'me'. His lovely hair and makeup artist Asma worked her magic on me and I'm thrilled with the pictures. I highly recommend the Goddess Studio.

My experience was so fulfilling. I felt so creative and powerful and also vulnerable and touched by Patrick’s dedication. And I have so many more ideas for more shoots!

“Every woman is beautiful in their own way. You bring them confidence. It oozes out on every photo I’ve seen. To make a woman feel as you do is a wonderful and rare thing.”

I had my first shoot at the goddess studio with Patrick and some of his goddess squad - it was fabulous. He is so professional, supportive and encouraging. It was a completely fab experience and I highly recommend him. Thanks again!

I had the pleasure of working with Patrick at The Goddess Studio as I approached my 66th birthday and state pension age! Patrick works with women of all ages and right from the beginning he helped me to decide what kind of look to go for and what to take to the shoot. Communication was excellent throughout. Patrick could not have been more helpful.


On the day I was helped to choose what to wear from the things I had taken along as well as some beautiful items from the studio wardrobe. A lovely, professional hair & make-up artist did a wonderful job on my hair & make-up and I felt glamorous!


The atmosphere in the studio was relaxed and positive. Patrick is good at making you feel relaxed and good about yourself. He suggests poses and I ended up dancing whilst dressed in lingerie and voile! We had a few giggles too! The whole experience was very enjoyable and made me feel good about myself.

The photos are really lovely and I have had lots of great comments on them.

I would recommend any woman of any age, shape or size to go to the studio.

You will feel and look like a goddess. The studio lives up to it’s name.

Thank you so much Patrick.

I am delighted to say I had the most wonderful day at Patrick's studio from the moment I arrived I felt at ease, starting with hair and makeup I felt thoroughly pampered, Patrick was very helpful as we chose the outfits for my photoshoot.

Patrick had a way of making me smile and bringing out the best in me when I was nervous.

I am very pleased with the results.

The environment was relaxed, friendly and I enjoyed the session, which completely reflects in the photos.

This was my special day to celebrate the person I am at this stage of my life and I have these amazing photos to treasure.

Thank you so much.

I had an awesome shoot at the Goddess Studio. Patrick is so talented and easy to work with. I loved his style of working which encouraged me to be more aware of my movements and the pictures have turned out fantastic! I hope we work together again soon. Thank you.

I had an amazing shoot with Patrick at a London studio. Patrick is one of the kindest, understanding and passionate photographers I have worked with...

...He is funny and really chimed with my body positive vibe. He champions people feeling empowered and this really showed in the shots we achieved together.

So much fun capturing a special moment. I’ve done a few shoots with Patrick now but my pregnancy shoot was extra special . Patrick set up the room beautifully with props . Really focusing on the small details and taking into account the look/vibe I wanted . As always he also had great ideas about looks and poses. He Made me feel comfortable, powerful and most importantly laugh lots throughout the shoot . He is versatile and cares about you being happy with the end result . His artistic background shows as many of the photos reflect art not just capturing the subject . I’ll be back with my mini me for another shoot soon! Thank you always.

As someone who has always had issues with body image, this was a big step for me and I can honestly say it's been hugely cathartic. What a wonderful way to love the skin you're in. I felt comfortable almost Instantly and the results are amazing. I shall definitely be booking again.  Thanks guys.

So happy I chose Goddess Studio for my portrait photoshoot. This was not just a photoshoot but a wonderful experience. I was made to feel very comfortable, and what an excellent eye Patrick has! The lightning was perfect, and he captured the essence of me. Thank you!

This was my first proper photoshoot and I had a wonderful experience all around. So grateful to Patrick for the service he provides, his professionalism and knowledge- and the final photos are just fab!

What a wonderful day spent with Patrick and Asma. I’m delighted with the outcome. I have a beautiful set of images for my partner and a huge boost to my self confidence. I’m still stunned when I look at the images,

I feel beautiful and that’s thanks

to a team of wonderfully supportive

and encouraging people.

Patrick was really friendly, bubbly and worked really hard to give me the best shots. He helped me with direction on how to pose and also it was a relaxed atmosphere. His editing is on point and I really really liked my pictures and the make up too.

Ada L.

Photos came out beautiful. Made me feel so welcome and we was laughing the whole time. Highly recommend.

Kay E.


Patrick, Kelly and Asma are all WONDERFUL people and will make you feel very relaxed. That “nervy” feeling will disappear in the blink of an eye and you will be having fun and wondering where the time went, sad that it’s over and done with. It gave me huge amounts of confidence doing this (and I always HATED my photo being taken prior to this).

Eva D.

I enjoyed a really relaxed and happy shoot with Patrick. He is an easy going guy and was a pleasure to shoot with. We shot a mixture of boudoir and art nude at my home and I would happily shoot with him again.

Looking forward to seeing the images, thank you so much Patrick

I have had my pictures taken and Patrick has made me look and feel beautiful, sexy and proud of myself x Being a larger lady can sometimes make me feel fat and ugly but Patrick found the inner me.

Thank you Patrick. Absolutely great, brings out your confidence and inner self, would recommend to anyone and it really doesn’t matter about size. Goddess Studio x

Lisa R.

I just want to say a BIG 'thank you' to the Goddess Studio for doing my boudoir shoot.

I'm so glad I've finally done it. I feel so confident within myself now. ;-)

"I treated myself to a nude session for my birthday, never done it before and I was very nervous but Patrick made me feel comfortable and confident.

I love the pictures and the quality is so good I asked Patrick to keep the pictures without any photoshop....The make up artist was very friendly and listened to what I wanted...and we spend the whole time chatting.

The whole experience was amazing,
Patrick took time to find out what I wanted from the session and the pictures made me feel more confident about my body. I have even decided to start a little tradition and do the session every year for my birthday,
Big thank you to Patrick"

Gina


The most enjoyable photoshoot I have ever had. Patrick is a complete pro with such a great eye for detail. Him and his team made me feel so comfortable. The make up and hair was so beautiful. Patrick worked with me to get the best shots, listened to my ideas as well as shared his own. I found his direction and feedback throughout the session very helpful. Thank you for creating a safe space that celebrates and empowers women to embrace and love who they are. So much fun! So many shots I loved too :) x

Ruby Y.

All the women you shoot from size 6 to 32 are beautiful. Plus you're a great photographer/artist and you have a great make up artist. I can confirm that anyone who works with Patrick is very lucky.

Patrick is a fantastic communicator and a brilliant advocate for women of all shapes, sizes, and ages feeling beautiful and empowered.

Our shoot was very productive with a great range of styles explored and some fantastic photos as a result.

Patrick clearly has great artistic vision and I'm certain he's going to go very far with his business. I hope that we will work together again in future and would happily recommend working with him.

Becca W.

I recently had a shoot with Patrick at Burford Manor and it was awesome (as always)!
I recently took a step back from modelling due to some unpleasant experiences (with other photographers) and I am so happy to have been able to ease my way back in with shoots with Patrick. He is such a professional and knowledgeable photographer and I highly recommend him to all females who are interested in creating images of their beautiful, unapologetic selves!

Paige (Curveee)

...I have never felt more beautiful, feminine, sensual, empowered and more connected to myself than I did during that shoot. And the impact it had on me afterwards...the world was not ready for the woman who was unleashed that day, let me tell you... ...When I got my pictures back... I cried! I could not get over how incredible I looked, how beautiful the photography was, the energy coming out of each and every photograph. Some of my favourites are the moments Patrick caught in between poses when I was just having so much fun and laughing!...(full review on the blog page).

Lucy Wildman

Patrick Falaniko is a great artist, he works in a very creative way. We worked with the concept of fire & wind goddess. He was absolutely brilliant finding the way to arrange the outfit, lights and set up. He has a very valuable experience on fashion, so getting in the postures and mood of the shoot was very easy with him behind the camera. I can’t recommend him enough if you want to create any artistic photography.

And I can’t wait to work again with him.
