Alan recently attended a tuition in our home as a reintroduction into photography. His pre shoot communications were excellent, sharing his desires for the shoot ahead of time.

Upon arrival Alan reiterated what he hoped to achieve and we had an in depth chat about the various photographic styles before we jumped into the first set. Alan was perfectly happy to go with the flow throughout the shoot and occasionally suggested his own ideas. He was polite and professional throughout, doing a good job of putting what he'd been told into action. Alan was keen to learn, and didn't hesitate to ask questions throughout, listening well to us.

The back of camera shots were beautiful and we look forward to seeing his edits!

Alan was an absolute joy to work with! His pre shoot comms were excellent and I knew what would be expected of me before the shoot. He was a perfect gentleman throughout, really putting me at ease. He was respectful of me at all times, and really took what I said into account, trying hard to put it into practice.

I felt very comfortable and was able to pose freely with the occasional pose suggestion from Alan. We got along well and captured some stunning images, really bouncing ideas off of one another.

Alan was lovely to work with and paid close attention to John's teachings throughout, really honing his photography from the start.

The shoot flew by and I really look forward to seeing the final edits!

Thanks for a wonderful shoot!

A wonderful tuition with Alan in my home today and from the start he paid close attention, putting what I said into action. Alan was respectful of the model and listened well to her suggestions as well. The images came out wonderfully and I would happily recommend Alan to other creatives.

I worked with Alan for the first time at the weekend when he booked myself and Carla Monaco on our Christmas duo weekender!

We spent two hours chatting, working through lots of different ideas and taking some really nice images. We shot portraits, fashion, casual and art nudes in the time and it flew by!

Alan is quite new to model photography so he was happy to listen to our advice, try out our ideas and work together as a team on the images.

Thank you Alan, hope to work with you again in 2019, perhaps in Tuscany! :) :)

Awesome first shoot with Alan at my home :) I was feeling really poorly with a cold but the shoot was so laid back and relaxed that it was absolutely fine. We got some beautiful, natural, homely pictures which looked real not staged. Thank you Alan for such a brilliant shoot, Claire Topaz

***It is my complete pleasure to leave Alan his very first reference on Purpleport! :) ***

Alan initially got in touch with me here as he had seen a print of me which he had recently bought for his home. Upon doing some background research behind the image, Alan found out that I was the model! He then created an account here and contacted me on Purpleport to organise a photoshoot...And the date was set! :)

We decided to work together in a gorgeous ruin in Chepstow and the weather on the day was beautiful! Alan was very kind to reorganise the original date as he was concerned that with the booming temperatures we have had recently it would be too hot for me- which was extremely thoughtful.

He was also very kind to agree for me to bring a chaperone (my partner) for the days shoot- which I only request on location if a photographer does not have any references (The other alternative is shooting in a supervised studio). Alan was very respectful and thoughtful and said that this was no problem at all. On meeting Alan he was extremely welcoming, kind, genuine and professional.

The photographs on the day were beautiful and Alan gave great direction during the shoot but equally let me have my own space to be as creative as I liked! :)

Aside from photography he is a man of many talents- He is a writer who works in a hospice once a week and an ex professional musician. I found him

such a lovely spirit to work with- He is extremely humble and very kind.

I would love to work with Alan again in the future and hope to have made a new friend! Roger and I really enjoyed the day! Thanks so much Alan and hope to work with you again soon! Highly recommended to all, Helen Diaz x
