I had my first shoot with Alan today and I hope it is not the last! We shot at his lovely home studio. Alan is a very friendly, creative person and a true gentleman. The communication before the shoot was great, we agreed on styles and left some room for experimenting. I loved exchange of ideas as we discussed about back of camera photos, adjusting lights, outfit, poses to create even better results. It was a very inspiring, creative, and fun photoshoot and I will definitely recommend Alan 100%. Thank you

Had my first shoot with Alan today at his lovely home studio!

I'm new to portrait modelling and Alan was wonderful,helping and advising the whole time. We chatted about all sorts, he was very easy to talk to and it didn't take me long to relax into the shoot!

I was supplied with cups of tea and biscuits for the duration!

I highly recommend Alan! I hope we can work together again.

I worked with this amazing gent for the very first time in March when he came to shoot me at my home where we had planned to tackle a multitude of ideas: from actual studio-style setups to images that worked in with the environment. It begun absolutely superbly with Alan delivering utterly perfect communications from the start - he showed literally so much enthusiasm for the shoot right from the word “go” coming up with specific ideas elaborating enormous amounts of creative interest... He is quite honestly one of the most passionate photographers I have had the pleasure of meeting/working with and this radiates from the early stages of shoot building. Completely inspired and I feel honestly so grateful for since not only enjoying a second shoot with Alan... But having another one in the line up too. :)

On the day of our first shoot: Alan came excellently prepared: natural light in the natural home setting was always going to be a focus for us, but he also had all the gear to work on some super funky controlled light images too. Covering these two different areas allowed us to get completely different results; the available light on the day was soft, but Alan worked with the conditions and had the definite eye for injecting life into his pictures: from framing with total precision to balancing the light (even on a dull day when you wouldn’t expect the light to be changing based on what the naked eye can see, it still does!) and giving brilliant direction as well as allowing me to flow through my repertoire. Following the insane productivity we had with daylight: we attempted some more carefully styled and lit concepts that leaned more into studio sets... OMG - like, WOW! Sensational images! :D I just can’t give enough credit to this wonderfully creative photographer: he has such a natural ability to see and sculpt a particular shot from his head and in my (multiple) experiences, he works so well with the models he books to achieve this too. By the end of the shoot, we had sealed images that bestowed interesting shapes, emotions, styling... The yield was just sensational. :)

Aside from all the above, Alan is just a truly nice person to work with too. He has the nicest nature imaginable, a gigantic amount of respect and care for others, approaches his shoot with star professionalism and is good fun a character too. :D Every possible box for a thoroughly enjoyable shoot: well and truly TICKED! We chatted so much in-between producing mega images, had plenty of tea breaks and lots o’ laughs too! I’m already due to be working with again in the very close future - so I think this clarifies that I 100% recommend him to the moon and back!

Thank you so much Alan! :) Such a blast of a shoot!

My second shoot with Alan was full of great ideas, creativity and good communication.

I feel like i'm working with an old friend whenever I work with Alan.

We click well and I appreciate Alan's attention to detail. Alan knows what he hopes to achieve and is organised, ready to work and enthusiastic at all times.

Alan is always open and responsive to my ideas, I always feel like I can be myself and bring what I need to during our shoots and I particularly enjoy Alan's appreciation of a theme, which certainly speaks to my actress side :)

The lighting is always good, we develop our theme throughout the shoot and Alan always values my opinion by allowing me to look through the shots at the end which is much appreciated.

I am most definitely looking forward to our next shoot.

All in all, an absolute gent who I highly recommend to other models out there.

I had a great first shoot with Alan on December 28th around york!

We got shooting on location using natural light and Alan’s led he had brought and we shot different ideas with various props! You wouldn’t think Alan is new to model shoots as he was extremely at ease and confident and knew how to light me perfectly

Alan was great, lots of ideas flowing, chatty and we talked all things photography, Vegas, America.. the list goes on!

Alan finished the shoot off with a coffee which is another 100 percent yes from me!

We are already getting together ideas for our next shoot with more of theme this time!

100 percent from me!

Was an awesome collab. Alan was very eager to fulfil my vision for the shoot. And I am extremely happy that he succeeded.

Will be working with him again.

I worked with Alan for the first time this last week and it was a pleasure.

Alan was punctual, organised, very professional in his approach and ready with creative ideas.

Easy to click with, eager to learn and genuinely interested in my opinions, i felt completely comfortable throughout and able to express myself.

I highly recommend Alan and hope we can shoot again and build on our composite ideas in more detail.
