Huge apologies for the very belated reference!

Had a great shoot with Alan a couple of months back at his home studio. Alan was incredibly polite and friendly, creative, and very knowledgable about various photographers and photography in general.

I would absolutely recommend shooting with Alan, and hope to shoot with him again in the future!

Working with Alan was an absolute delight! Pre communication was second to none. I had a great idea of what Alan wanted so was able to prep beforehand to make sure I covered the brief.

As soon as I arrived Alan made me feel so welcome. He has ideas and really brought them to life. Absolute pleasure to work alongside him. Loved how easy the shoot ran and the amazing lunch :)

Loved loved loved our shoot and I cannot wait to work with Alan again!!!

Highly recommended!!!!

Very happy model :)

I had great fun working with Alan and it was so inspiring that he managed to capture so many awesome dance shots. He had a brilliant, clear idea of the themes that he wanted, which made it easier to come up with ideas.

Working with Alan was a very special experience for me. He is a very interesting man with an impressive passion and appreciation for photography. We worked through a variety of ideas where Alan took his time to get lighting just how he wanted it. We talked about all sorts of things in between which made for an enjoyable yet productive day of shooting. I have loved the images I've seen and would be delighted to work with Alan again and I will confidently recommend him to others.

I'd also like to thank his lovely wife for her hospitality.

Thanks very much Alan :)

It was great working with Alan in his beautiful home studio. He was so welcoming and knew how to make me laugh.

Firstly I'd like to comment in Alan's high level of professionalism, from his consideration of my safety and my being comfortable to the level of planning for the shoot. What I liked most was his passion for photography and ligting.

He and his wife were both very hospitable and made me feel welcome.

The images were beautifully lit, and I definitely enjoyed working together.

I would definitely work with him again and recommend others to do so.

Alan is a simply awesome photographer with a great eye and great ideas. He's brilliant to work with, right from the planning and comms, through to producing fantastic and pleasing results. I shot with Alan 2 days ago and we have already scheduled our next shoot for this coming week, I can't wait. Alan has lots of cool equipment, lots of technical photography/lighting know-how and I'm so flattered we were able to work together! x

Alan is the most exquisite photographer to work with.

Professional, likes challenging himself, keeps high standards all the way through and that shows fully in the final photos.

He is driven and ambitious and has a most well equipped and very comfortable studio.

A fine gentleman, polite and fun, so easy to get on with and be comfortable, ever so considerate and respectful.

He is prompt in communicating and sending exquisite images.

I strongly recommend working and collaborating with Alan, not only the experience will be rewarding but the results will surely enhance your portfolio.

I felt honoured to have been modelling for him twice now and I can't see myself being eve short of ideas working with him as he seeks to produce and create always something new, original and challenging and most of all understands the strength of the model and would do his best to help you enhance them.

Had a great shoot with Alan Thursday just gone at his studio in Ascot. Alan has to be one of the most friendliest, accommodating photographers I have worked with. Not only is he a lovely person he has skill. He knows exactly what he is looking for and owns the most incredible equipment. I would happily work with Alan again and recommend him to all. Thanks Alan for a great shoot 😀

After long discussing and arranging today's shoot with Alan, since applying to his casting late July, finally, after the holidays, we managed to shoot.

Already in our pre-shoot exchanges, he explained me really well and visually what he was aiming for and I was captivated by the concepts and visuals ideas.

He has a beautiful home studio, spacious, full of natural light and well equipped, with some interesting props too. I fell in love with his guitars, so much so that he was compelled to shoot me with them too. I was really impressed by his knowledge of photography and has a vast library full of reference books, some of which were useful for today's inspirations.

I was impressed by his hospitality and his wife's too.

I felt comfortable all the way, really easy to get on with and work. Great directions and preparation but also a margin left to my input which he really appreciated.

The images are stunning! This photographer is simply brilliant from beginning to end and I do not hesitate to recommend him or to return myself.

I had a fantastic shoot with Alan today. He was incredibly professional and friendly and I felt completely at ease throughout the whole working time. He also has a fantastic taste in music and I thoroughly enjoyed listening while I worked. Alan is a very talented photographer with lots of great ideas and gives great direction I hope to work with him again soon.

I was invited to work with Alan at his wonderful home studio for a shoot Saturday 1st Aug, and I can honestly say he was an absolute gem to work with.

He has a true passion for photography which really shines through all his images, and Alan was more than happy to take the time to explain just what goes into these images with lighting/gel lighting tools and his fantastic photography skills

I had a lot of fun and really enjoyed the day! And I really do look forward to working with Alan again :)

Had my first shoot with Alan.

Very enjoyable, in a wonderfully equipped studio at his beautiful home.

He knew what he was trying to achieve and I hope we managed to capture some of the images to his satisfaction.

An easy guy to work with, very pleasant and great host.

Love his work, even though he didn't think I did

Would recommend and wouldn't refuse the chance to work with again ...... thank you

What a lovely geniune guy! I had a very enjoyable relaxed shoot with Alan yesterday at his beautiful home.

Alan told me his ideas in pre comms which were excellent and gave me an idea of what we were shooting.

Alan was a great host, provided a clean dressing gown, clean towel and jaffas! As well as offering tea. I felt very comfortable in his home at all times.

The shoot went great, he has a great passion for his work and this shines through. Alan directed me well and we had great fun.

I do hope I get the chance to shoot with Alan again and I highly recommend you shooting with him too if you get the chance!

Worked with Alan at his beautiful home studio yesterday and it was an absolute pleasure to work with him.

Alan's affinity with photography is apparent and he has a vast collection of books all with beautiful works of top photographers which he gets his inspiration from.

His passion reflects through his work, he tries to take each image he takes as a collective, constructively trying to find ways of improving images through crops or slight light changes.

We shot some commercial style portraits which worked really well and moved on to using a ringflash to produce some fashion style shots which worked a treat.

He had this idea to recreate this corset image which we worked through some ideas to do and achieved something different to the original image but it worked well.

To finish we attempted some different lighting to do some art nudes and they worked incredibly well, using light to paint the body in various ways with slight movements.

He was really accommodating throughout the shoot, making an excellent smoked salmon sandwich and copius cups of tea.

He is professional, very friendly and chatty throughout. Would highly recommend alan and would like to work with him again.

I had my first shoot with Alan at his home on Thursday and in all honesty I can sing his praises high enough ! Pre communication prior to the shoot was spot on . Alan knew exactly what he wanted to shoot and had examples laid out for me which always helps !

He makes an absolute lovely cuppa tea which every woman loves :)

We spoke about stories we had and ideas we wanted to do and it wasn't long before Alan's passions for photography and creating art really shined through !

I felt completely at ease and relaxed the whole shoot and we did 4 hours , there were bathrooms to choose from to do makeup etc and even a large bedroom to use as a changing room . Alan was very considerate always checking heating was ok and I wasn't too cold .

In 4 years of modelling and over 250 photographers that I have worked with I can hand on my heart honestly say that Alan is if not number 1 he's defiantly in the top 3 by far !!

I would highly recommend all models to work with Alan as you'll be so happy with the results and will leave just feeling happy ! He even bought my soon to be daughter in my belly a lovely gift :) can't wait to dress her in it now . Thanks so much Alan and hope to work with you lots in the near future

I spent such a lovely day with Alan on Friday!

We totally winged it on the day with him just getting back from holiday, but even with us not planning what we were going to do we managed to get some amazing images. He is very creative and works hard to ensure the lighting is exactly how he wants it before going ahead with the set.

He has tonnes of inspirational books in his home studio and I learnt a lot about some different artists/books :) His studio and gardens itself are beautiful, very crisp and clean with a gorgeous backdrop of the garden through the windows.

I simply has a fabulous day working with him and hope to work with him again in the future :)

Highly recommended!
