Recently had my first shoot with Alan and I'm so pleased with what we created!

Alan was very welcoming and extremely professional, he made me feel super comfortable throughout the entire shoot. Pre shoot communication was also on point, what I really appreciated is the amount of effort Alan put into planning the shoot, he had every bit worked out, from lighting to props!

Would definitely recommend :)

Alan is always such a joy to shoot with, I love how creative he is when it comes to shooting different themes, his photos are always so stunning and the lighting, wardrobe and set design always exceeds in his photos. I have shot with him several times now but I’m sure there are many more shoots to come and I can’t wait to see what we will create next!

Had another shoot with Alan today at Zavod Studio UK, it was a lot of fun like always, we played with lots of lights (he's the most passionate photographer I've ever met when it comes to lighting), colours and a few props to make some beautiful images.

He was amazing to work with as usual!

He's very fun, professional, talented and VERY creative. He made good use of the studio and props and really made the images come to life

I Would HIGHLY recommend and cant wait to work with him again!!

Alan was completely lovely! He had his own ideas and came up with a mood board pre-shoot which was really useful to know what to bring with me. He was super nice to let me have creative input. He was really communicative during the shoot which was really helpful to know what he was seeing behind the lense. He kept in contact after the shoot, sharing the photos and socials and making sure to tag me. The atmosphere was relaxed and wasn’t ever uncomfortable. I would love to work with Alan again and would highly recommend ☺️

I had a great shoot with Alan, his work is truly beautiful and an art.

The shoot started off following the plan and mood boards we made but eventually branch out to something more creative and going with the flow which I really enjoyed.

Alan was extremely professional and didn’t mind any input and directions I had for him.

I highly recommend Alan and look forward to shooting with him again soon. :)

Worked with Alan today at Zavod Studio UK again, I had a lot of fun trying different ideas and styles out but this time we decided on 1980 Vampire/Bridal.

He was awesome to work with as usual!

Friendly, Fun, inspiring, very creative and professional. He made good use of the studio, backgrounds (some that he made) and his props.

I Would HIGHLY recommend and cant wait to work with him again!

I had a shoot this afternoon with Alan and he was a pleasure to work with.

Pre communications were brilliant and we’d chosen different themes in preparation for the afternoon.

He is very knowledgeable when it comes to lighting and I feel like I have learnt a lot. Very easy to talk too and he has a great eye for detail.

Would definitely recommend shooting with him.

I had a shoot with Alan on Sunday, he was great to work with and had great ideas for the shoot.

Alan is lovely and really easy to talk to you and is very informative when it comes to lighting etc I enjoyed learning some stuff. I’ve already had some pictures back and they look great can’t wait to see the rest. Would highly reccomend getting a shoot booked in with Alan :)

I had such a fantastic shoot with Alan at ZaVod studio!!!

Our pre-communication was excellent! Alan sent me a moodboard with a lot of fantastic ideas, making it very easy to prepare for the shoot. Alan is incredibly creative and imaginative, and I was thrilled to bring all his ideas to life! The entire shoot was full of fun! He encouraged me to bring my own ideas and help with the set. I had the freedom to pose as I wanted and be creative! Alan is a very professional photographer; he knows how to work with light to create a perfect picture! Additionally, he can create a marvelous atmosphere with great music and mood! Also, we had a great chat, and time flew by! In the middle of the shoot, he was so kind to feed me delicious lunch and drinks!

The results of the shoot are absolutely fantastic! The photos look gorgeous, like they're from a fashion magazine! I am so happy we managed to work together, and I'm excited about the creative possibilities for our future shoots. I'm very much looking forward to working with you again and seeing what we will do next! Thank you!

100% recommend!

Alan provided one of the most in-depth pre-comms and shooting plans I've ever received, which left me deeply impressed as it left no room for doubt who of us was to bring which props and made it easy to decide which outfits to pack based on the shooting plan.

Alan was so kind as to pick me up from the station upon arrival and walked me to the studio, where he was incredibly hospitable in offering refreshments.

The shoot itself went very smoothly, with a stunning set already set up by Alan, who is also incredibly knowledgable about the most effectful use of lighting, and knows how to create powerful images that tell a story.

Very grateful I got to shoot with Alan and would again at the drop of a hat!

I had another fabulous shoot with Alan again recently at the Kiln! Alan always has some amazing wacky ideas and I just love it! This time we worked with an all white theme complete with spear! I’m always impressed by Alan’s creativity and the fact he makes almost everything he brings to his shoots, it just goes to show what a true artist he really is. Lighting is always bang on and I love that he keeps me in the loop with updates on edits. Always an absolute pleasure to work with and the time just sadly vanishes. Please feel free to throw all the crazy ideas at me, I’m absolutely game!

Highly recommended by me always.

Best wishes

Thoroughly enjoyed shooting with Alan - it took us some time to sort out a shoot but we did it eventually and we produced some of the best images in my portfolio. Pre-coms were great and Alan went as far as creating a specific playlist for our shoot to make sure it fits the mood we're going for!

Very much looking forward to work with you again, Alan and can't recommend you enough!

I had the pleasure of working with Alan during my studio day at Zavod and it was a shoot to remember for sure.

I LOVE working with phootographers who bring something new to a shoot, and Alan did just this.

Super creative, talented, and fun to work with - Alan is fab.

Highly recommended by me.

I love the results and hope that we can cross paths again

I have shot with Alan a few times now and this time we were on location in Huddersfield! His lovely daughter came along to shoot as well and she was such a great addition to our team. We got through 3 outfits in forever changing weather and Alan had even brought snacks and lunch along, which was so kind of him!

He had thought of everything to make the shoot as easy as possible (including a very roomy changing tent) and the shoot flew by!

I would really recommend working with Alan, he produces wonderful images, is very creative and always thinks of the model's comfort at all times!

Can't wait to see the images and hope to work together again soon :)

Great to have Alan visiting these studio spaces for his first time on a model day with the awesome Irida.

I was busy organising stuff when he arrived and only got chance to say a quick hello but was happy to leave Alan in Irida's company. Everything seemed to go well and I'm looking forward to seeing any images that Alan decides to show.

Respectful of studio and props available and also knowing that Irida enjoyed shooting with him, I'm happy to fully recommend! Thank you - Lee

I had a fantastic first shoot with Alan on my studio day at A scorpion residence in Kettering.

Alan is so well organised and had prepared a moodboard of ideas for the shoot. We shot fine art nude styles. Alan is a very talented photographer and I really liked that camera was tethered on his tablet and we had an instant look on the photos which was very helpful.

Professional and easy to work with, veery happy to highly recommend and hope to work together again soon

Many thanks for a great shoot,

Irida
