Where should I even start with Alan!

Before I even begin to think about discussing the fabulous images we have achieved, I should talk about the most important thing... he is one of the most genuine people I have had the opportunity to shoot with!

From the moment he arrived at my local studio he was warm and friendly. Despite barely having spoken before, we chatted away like old friends with plenty of giggles along the way. He knows what he’s looking for in his images and he talked me through his style and I learn all about how he came to be photographing models.

His passion for creating beautiful images is absolutely delightful, seeking the best of natural light and the studio lights, depending on the set.

Proud to have received some high-5’s when we hit the nail on the head!

Would be absolutely delighted to get the next shoot arranged!

Thanks Alan :D

Oh my well what can I say about dear ole Phil that hasn’t already been said to death, simply because he is one of the nicest most genuinely kind people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.

Phil and I have been working together for the best part of three years, and I have adored every shoot, we always get nice shots but I always have to tell people how much I enjoy his company the most. Phil asked me if I might be interested in joining him for a shoot in Holland for the day and I fell off my chair to say yes please.

Pre comms were exceptional, he picked me up from home on the Monday evening to drive out to the Ferry, we took a few shots on the deck before we had a fabulous dinner and then watched some acoustic entertainment and then off to bed.

After a full breakfast we got in the car and whoop we were in Holland driving out to our location for the day! :)

And what a day it was drinking coffee on the cobbled streets, shooting on the docks, peaking through shop windows, shooting in the tunnels,having an ice cream in the sun, shooting in sand dunes, having conversations with strangers, shooting in the park, and let’s not forget seeing Jesus himself! And sadly it was time to drive back to the ferry, have dinner, and say goodbye to such a beautiful country.

I’ll never forget how much I laughed on this trip specifically about profiteroles, Gordon Bennett, and Jesus, Phil had me in stitches throughout the trip.

I can’t thank him enough for such an incredible day away, and I’m loving the shots I’m seeing too, it was just over all too quickly but I know it won’t be long until we have another adventure :D

Thank you for an unforgettable day away Phil ((hugs))

Myself and Jezebelle shot with the excellent Alan at Map Studios in Loughborough a week ago - we got a variety of sets in, a bit of fashion, portraiture, and cinematic style, was a fabulous shoot!

Alan is an awesome soul, chatty, respectful and creative, the two hours absolutely flew by! Would highly recommend to all models 🙌

Working with Phil is always a pleasure, he is a respectful and fun photographer who has an eye for cool images, using the scenes and lighting wonderfully!

He has a fabulous sense of humour, and is a delight to work with, I can't recommend this amazing fellow enough to everyone :)

Till next time you epic dude!

Yet another fantastic shoot with the very lovely Phil. Yesterday we got through apples of cool sets creating new styles to both of us that felt like they told a story. We also chatted whilst shooting which made it a great relaxing atmosphere. Phil is someone I could shoot with time and time again and never get bored of. A real gent and a pleasure to shoot alongside!

As always 100% recommended by me to any model looking to work with a great guy!

Another fabulous shoot with Phil at Map Studio! He booked me for 3 hours at this awesome studio and he is so great to work with.

He arrives on time, is polite and likes to experiment with lighting which create really great images. He has a great eye for natural light and really knows the studio well as to what works and what doesn’t. He showed me the back of the camera throughout and this really helped me as a model to see what was working and what wasn’t.

Really enjoyable shoot and I hope to work with him again. Thanks Phil!

Such a pleasure to work with Phil again! We had worked together quite a while ago when I was still fairly new. I was excited to shoot with Phil again to show him how much I've progressed - and so too has Phil!! Some really smashing images taken during our three hour shoot, and Phil has a great eye for natural light. He was happy for me to add some direction and showed me the back of the camera throughout. This resulted in a really collaborative shoot which the final images will reflect!

Phil is lovely company, so easy to get on with. He is friendly, respectful and kind. Never pushy, never makes you feel uncomfortable. I would happily shoot with him again and again! Highly recommended as a lovely photographer to work with. Thank you Phil!

Another fab three hour shoot with Phil at MAP studio last week.

Was good to catch up, shoot some more lovely images and try some more new ideas.

Hope to work with Phil again next time :)

I had the lovely pleasure of working with Phil again recently alongside the gorgeous Cariad on our duo day at Maps studio. Phil is prompt, professional, and a true gentleman. Great company and a really lovely photorapher who I would always happily shoot with!

Phil is absolutely great, we worked through a couple of sets and the time absolutely flew by. I really like the images we created on the day and look forward to seeing more.

Thank you for a great morning and hopefully I will see you in the not too distant future.

Highly recommended by me

A fantastic first shoot with Phil yesterday at Map Studio! We had been in talks about doing a shoot for a while and I couldn’t wait to get creative together. His pre comms are really great and helpful. When I arrived I was nervous but he put me at ease straight away. During the shoot we got on really well and had a good giggle. He is polite, kind and a true gentleman. He showed me the back of the camera throughout the shoot which I love because it helped me to see what was working and what wasn’t pose wise. I loved working in the natural light with him. He has a really great eye for composition. I really hope to work with him again and I would highly recommend him!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of working with Phil again at Map Studio, whilst visiting the area.

I always love working with Phil as he's so much fun to work with! We have now worked together 4 times now and I always look forward to our shoots.

On our last shoot yesterday, we shot a mixture of funky fashion, latex and a sheer dress. The time absolutely flown by and we got so many cracking shots.

Phil is an absolute sweetheart with a kind soul and is such an interesting person!

Highly recommended and I look forward to our next shoot!

Thank you for another fab day,

I have recently had another shoot with Phil. This time we shot at Rutland house studio.

He arrived on time after great pre-comms (which made preparing easy) and greeted me with a smile.

Phil is a fab guy! Very down to earth and easy to talk to. We had a laid back shoot, but still captured some fab images.

We covered a mixture of fashion and lingerie. Phil was respectful of my levels and time (as always).

I've already had a sneak peak at some of the photos and they look fab!

We have another shoot booked in for a few months time, which I am looking forward to.

Would obviously recommend Phil to others and I look forward to working with him in the future.

Thanks very much

I had the pleasure of working with Phil for the second time yesterday and it was such a lovely shoot. Phil booked a couple of hours on mine and Cariad’s studio day at Map Studio Loughborough yesterday.

As always Phil was punctual and very happy, it’s always so nice to see such a friendly face. Phil is such a nice guy, friendly and chatty the shoot absolutely flew by! We started off with portraiture, then moved onto lingerie and finished with some art nude in the derelict room.

From what I saw on the back of camera we got some brilliant shots, especially in the natural light.

Always such a pleasure working with Phil, happily recommended by me to all models, studios etc.

Thank you again, hopefully see you soon :)

I recently had another lovely shoot with this true gent, this time on a duo day with the beautiful Silk at Map studios.

Phil as always was polite, courteous and a pleasure to work with. He came prepared with nice ideas and we managed to fit a few different sets in as well as lots of laughter and smiles :)

Thank you for booking us and I hope we will see each other again soon!

Highly recommended!!

He is chatty, down to earth and always respectful and easy to get on with. He is experimental with backgrounds and lighting and it's great to be part of his creative projects.
