Had my second shoot with Alan on Wednesday the 17th . Alan booked me for a specific theme he wanted to test . Alan as always is so easy to work with, a great host and I absolutely loved experimenting with the different light set ups and trying to find the right poses etc, also the photographs look fantastic !!!

Very highly recommended of course !

My first shoot with Alan was great. He is very friendly and welcoming, such a kind hearted photographer.

His experience and knowledge shines through greatly!

I felt very comfortable throughout the shoot and was kindly offered refreshments.

Communication between myself and Alan was clear and thorough from the moment I applied for his casting.

I am excited to work together again after some more research and direction to see how we can build on my project.

If you get the chance to work with Alan or even just discuss ideas I would definitely recommend him :)

I recently had my first shoot with the talented Alan whilst on tour in the South, I thoroughly enjoyed & appreciated my time with them.

Pre communication was excellent and Alan was kind enough to collect me and drive me to their fabulous home studio.

During my day working with them I found them very encouraging, respectful and aware of my well being.

Giving great direction and will a keen eye for detail, they are certainly a Proffesional as well as an artist.

I would love to work with them again in the future and highly recommend them.

Thank you very much for having me. 😊 Talli

Just arrived home from a shoot with Alan (who kindly drove me home to save me from carrying my heavy bags. A true gentleman!)

We worked in Alan's beautiful home studio on a mix of portrait, nude, fashion, and fashion nude which was good fun. He and his lovely wife made sure I was made to feel welcome, made lots of tea and offered biscuits and lunch.

Overall a lovely professional and talented photographer, and very enjoyable shoot. And we're already discussing ideas for the next one which I can't wait for!

Highly recommended, whether you're a new or experienced model.

Thanks again for a great shoot :)

I had an absolute pleasure to work with Alan in his home studio yesterday. Alan picked me up from the station and was very caring during the shoot, making sure that I feel comfortable at all the times. Alan is very professional and has an amazing home studio where we were able to shoot several different styles, outfits and themes. I would definitely recommend working with Alan to anyone! :)

Had a last minute shoot with Alan and so glad I did. Pre-communications were excellent and very prompt. He very kindly picked me up from my home to his beautiful house where a fantastic large studio was set up and waiting for me.

It was my first time working with Alan,so this was kind of a get to know each other shoot.Alan is such a laid back gentleman and very chatty. He made sure I was warm and had a hot drink.

As we got into our shoot Alan would show me the shots which I was very happy with.I was very surprised when less then 3 hours I had edited images sent to me which I just love.

Although we didn't get to do gels this time and bodyscape we are planning this for our next shoot which I`m really looking forward too.

Thanks again for a very enjoyable shoot and looking forward to the next very soon.

Highly recommended

To say I loved working with Alan is not to say anything! What a positive and inspiring Photographer. The images are simply amazing, very beautiful shoot relaxed, easy, and professional and modelling was fun (lots of it). It was my first shoot with Alan and I will definitely do it again because it is such a pleasure to work with Pros that know what they do, know the posing, the lighting, direct you during the shoot and make you feel comfortable and enthusiastic about the project. Alan is a very friendly photographer that provides a very wonderful experience indeed. Do work with Alan if you have not done it yet :)

Had a great first shoot with Alan

Alen picked me up from the station and then we heading to his home studio to shoot

We had planned a rock chick themed shoot with a guitar which was a fantastic theme all though we swayed away from the original idea and shot lots of art nudes with different lighting

Alan is a great photographer and produces beautiful photos , we already have our second shoot booked and j can't wait !

Would recommend! :)

Absolutely loved my shoot with Alan. Pre- communications were very polite, and very straight forward with directions to his house.

It was my first time working with him, so it was a mostly “get to know” session. I loved his patience and passion for what he does, and some of the best matters I have ever come across.

He gave me some great advice on what works best for me as a model - ie - shooting portraits with face straight on to camera, having a quiet confidence, and not trying too hard with facial expressions.

His style in shooting with gels and art nude is absolutely fantastic. I didn’t mind that we went off the original plan from time to time - because it meant that I was learning, and he kept on producing the goods!

Thank you Alan for also sending me the images very quickly. Look forward to working with you again next year!

And another fantastic day with Alan. We put our minds together and came up with some fantastic images. I really enjoy working with him, hence the recommendation. Always professional, respectful and witty too. A great day that whizzed by. Thanks again Alan.

Had the great pleasure of a third shoot with Alan, in his wonderful home studio. He'd known, from pre-shoot communications, that I was going through a rough time, and he suggested ideas for an "allegorical series" based on some of my comments and experiences. I relished the opportunity to work on images which tell a story, and have meaning and depth, and I found the whole shoot- as well as the experience of talking with Alan, and his truly lovely wife (who again kindly took me out to dinner) therapeutic and educative. Alan is highly knowledgeable and perceptive, both in photography and in life, and I appreciate his attempt to get me to be more assertive in my modelling. The anti-bullying theme he devised for the shoot is one which is important and highly relevant, in society as well as in the modelling world.

We've been discussing ideas for other subsequent shoots, which also touch upon the anti-bullying theme and also anti- discrimination, which I hope will come into fruition. It is always a pleasure to work with Alan, and I am grateful to him for all his advice- both about modelling and photography, which he knows I am interested in. Highly Recommended, and Thank You, again, Alan.

Once again had the pleasure of working alongside Alan in his amazing home studio for the third time! Always have such an amazing experience working with him in his amazing studio and home! He was as patient as always and allowed me to work to my own time frame. Always polite and brings the most creative ideas to the photo shoot.

Am looking forward to hopefully working with Alan again in the future. Highly recommended and left feeling happy with the photo results. Thankyou!

Shooting with Alan has been such an amazing experience: superb organization, stunning studio and location, original ideas; he is such a creative person, I could crearly see his passion for photography all the time. Super prepared about lights, he drove the shoot in a professional way that I will never forget. He cared about me and my thoughts all the time, being always polite and hospitable. I'm looking for to shoot again with him, I absolutely recommend him and I thank him for this fantastic oppurtunity to increase my portfolio with something FABULOUS!!!

Today was my first time shooting with Alan. He had great pre-shoot communication and lots of ideas. Alan is very passionate about photography and enjoys taking his time to capture his ideas. He is very friendly, easy to work with and also an interesting conversationalist.

We ended up going hours over our original scheduled time as he kept coming up with fantastic ideas we couldn't not do. I had an absolute ball and am already looking forward to working with him again.

I would definitely highly recommend Alan.

I was most fortunate to have a lovely second shoot yesterday with arh. Pre- shoot communications were clear and concise as always- he had a definite shoot plan, and we even adhered to it on the day- for the most part :)- with one or two minor diversions/deviations along the way. We spent the day happily shooting in his beautiful house, catered to by his very kind wife, and also perusing some of his excellent collection of photography books. In the evening, he generously invited me to a delicious dinner out with his wife, and they were delightful company. It is a privilege to shoot with arh, as previous references have stated, and also a great pleasure. I find it is an educative experience as well - I learn more about photography- and I am very happy with the photo results.

Highly recommended. Thank You. :)

I was privileged to shoot with Alan yesterday (for the second time) and we achieved some truly beautiful shots. He again made me feel comfortable immediately and is always incredibly respectful. His work speaks for itself but it is truly an art and his attention to detail pays off. It is a pleasure to work with Alan and an education all wrapped into one. Until next time!

Had my third fantastic shoot with the photographic master Alan at the weekend. I always feel privileged and appreciative when he agrees to shoot with me. He's always open to ideas, even if outside what he usually does, and brings a fantastic eye and direction that produces results I love. Alan rocks - that's all!
