Alan joined us tethered on the emotive gel portraits evening at Alastairs. We had fun on the shoot learning about gel techniques and creating some fun portraits along the way :)

Pleasure as always Alan.

Thank you for virtually joining us :D

Highly recommended of course!

A great virtual encounter with Alan last Thursday as he tethered in on the Americana group shoot at Alastair Currills studio. Alan and I have shot together well over the years, I love the face to face shoots as we get on as friends too but tethered also works well. Alan is good at giving directions whilst tethering and I enjoy all our shoots together. Thanks Alan. Definitely recommended to other models by me :)

Fun in the sunflowers!!

It was so lovely to see Alan yesterday and shoot in the sunflowers. Alan has become a friend not just a photographer and it felt like no time had passed at all! The last couple of shoots we have done together were tethered so it was fab to have a face to face catch up :)

The three hours flew as we shot amongst the sunflowers and wild flowers. We didn't run out of ideas and shot at a steady pace. We chatted and laughed the whole shoot.

Alan regularly showed me back of camera images and afterwards we grabbed a coffee and had a proper look through the photos.

The shoot was fun and relaxed and the photos looked natural and happy.

Alan is a pleasure to shoot with, he is great company and understanding of the models needs as well. I really enjoyed the shoot.

Highly recommended by me :)

Thanks Alan :) x

Alan is an absolute pleasure to work with. I've had the opportunity to work with him on several shoots over a number of years, and each experience has been fun, creative and relaxed.

Our most recent shoot, a group studio day with myself and Ashleigh Rae, was no exception. The atmosphere was relaxed and professional, and Alan helped created a comfortable environment for everyone involved. He is delightful company and myself and Ashleigh had a really lovely time working with him.

The images I’ve seen from the day are beautiful. Alan always manages to capture something wonderful!

I wholeheartedly recommend Alan to anyone looking for a talented and reliable photographer as well as a fantastic time shooting. I look forward to our next shoot together in a few days time! Thanks Alan ❤️

Alan attended a recent studio day I was modelling for at @flashhappensstudios, and it’s a good job he did as he was my ride! 😂

Joking aside Alan is such a kind, thoughtful soul and such a pleasure to work with. He was a wonderful addition to the group and so funny and helpful. I am incredibly grateful for his kind offer of a lift, as always.

His photogrpahy is beautiful and the images he’s shared with me are simply stunning. He masters every style thrown at him, and his Old Hollywood Portraits look as authentic as they come.

Thank you so much Alan, for everything. Highly recommended to models and studios alike! ❤️

I worked with Alan a few years ago on a photography day. We had a blast! Highly recommended

Miss Rosie Lea

Alan came along to a duo shoot hosted by @ashleighrae and I at Daniel’s Mill, and he was such a wonderful addition to the group.

I’ve worked with Alan more times than I can remember now and he’s always such a joy to work with. Funny, kind and amazing company, Alan fits right into any group setting and helps create a lovely, creative atmosphere. I know Ashleigh would agree that our shoot was all the better for having him in attendance.

Alan is a fabulous photographer also, and his enthusiasm and passion is infectious. His images are always beautiful, and the ones he’s been kind enough to share with me from the duo shoot are no exception.

Highly recommended, as always, to all models, studios etc. Thanks so much Alan! ❤️

What a shoot!!!

Shot with the lovely Alan Bruce during my recent modelling tour to the West-Midlands at my hired apartment. Prior to shooting pre-communication was great and everything was super easy to plan and set up.

Alan was so down to earth and easy to get on with and talk to. He’s such a gem and shots with him are really fun. We had lots of laughter and smiles during this shoot as we shot some fabulous fashion, latex and lingerie shots.

Would love to shoot with Alan again in the future. 110% recommended.

Miss Rosie Lea

I work with Alan on a very regular basis but I’ve had the privilege of working many times with Alan over the last couple of months in quick succession.

Alan is one of my all time favourite people to shoot with, and this is in no small part down to just how kind, open and thoughtful a soul he is. Alan is always there with a smile and hug and I don’t think anyone could be down in the dumps in his presence.

Each shoot I’ve had with him over the last few weeks, whether that was one-to-one or part of a group, has been a delight! And we’ve been just as productive as we have been chatty, with lots of beautiful images to show for our efforts!

I thoroughly recommend Alan to anyone lucky enough to shoot with him! I can’t wait for our next adventure (which is next week as a matter of fact 😂) Thanks so much Alan!

Alan logged in via tethered to the Modern Ethereal group shoot at Alastair Currills studio this month.

Alan created some great images from the shoot, some which he has shared with me and they can be found on my portfolio. Alan is patient in waiting for his turn and fun to shoot with, as always. I get on with Alan incredibly well as see him as a friend too. Highly recommended, I'm loving the results from the modern ethereal group shoot :) x

A great couple of hours at my studio day at Far Forest studio last Sunday. I've shot with Alan so many times now, I consider him a good friend. We get on really well. Alan is a kind, genuine, down to earth guy who is easy to shoot with. Alan has his own ideas and loves to have fun as he shoots. He is also interested in my ideas. We worked through some sets and had fun along the way. It was lovely to see Alan face to face again. Sometimes we shoot tethered on other group shoots. But I always like to see him in person and catch up, the shoot flowed really well and I had an excellent time. Alan also has a long background in photography career wise, so you will get quality photos taken as well. Many Thanks Alan! Highly recommended :) x

I've worked with Alan quite a few times now, and we always have a great time shooting and capturing some lovely images.

Alan is great to be around, really easy to work with and captures beautiful images. I already look forward to working with him again :)

It was great to see Alan last Friday face to face again. Everytime I meet up with Alan for a shoot, it is more like meeting up with a friend not just a photographer.

We drove to the location of Chastleton house and gardens and actually spent practically the whole shoot in the house. There was so much for us to work with there!

Alan and I had a chat and a giggle on our way round. And the shoot flowed really well. Alan is a down to earth and genuine person who enjoys shooting for fun. Our ideas always bounce off each other and we get some great results.

I have shot with Alan a number of times now on location, in studio and also tethered on group shoots. Everytime Alan is friendly and welcoming and easy to shoot with.

I would highly recommend shooting with Alan, and he is one of my favourite photographers to shoot with :)

Thanks for a great afternoon Alan - catch up soon x

Miss Rosie Lea

I’ve actually had two shoots with Alan since I last left a reference (in my defence they were in quick succession 🙈)

Firstly, I was so pleased to work with Alan again at Dracup’s cottage in Bridgnorth. It was Alan’s second visit to the location as there is so much potential at the property, we ran out of time to get through everything last time we shot there.

It was a truly lovely shoot, it’s so comfortable and fun working with Alan and we always capture such amazing images in the process.

Our second shoot was at RAF Cosford as Alan really wanted to shoot a model there, after visiting many times. The day was absolutely wonderful. It was as much a trip out for us both as it was a shoot and I really appreciated Alan looking after me and treating me to a coffee and sausage roll. The images are incredible on the back of camera! It was such an exciting and productive day.

Needless to say I’d recommend Alan to everyone and I look forward to working with him again in the future. Thanks so much Alan, you’re a star! ⭐️

The Apex Studio (Telford)

Alan attended our recent Debbie Harry "BLONDIE" themed workshop.

He turned up on time & was also kind enough to give our model a lift.

Alan worked well with Our Model & got on really well with the rest of the group.

Alan is an experienced photographer & took some greaat images.

We look forward to seein Alan again on a future event

Highly recommended

I worked with Alan again recently and had a great time!

Alan joined me on my Marilyn Monroe event at Atomic Loft Studio with Jason Skarratt.

He was great at jumping into each set up we had, creating some amazing photos from what I saw back of cam :)

Always a pleasure working with Alan, and I'm sure we will work together again soon.

Miss Rosie Lea

I had the immense pleasure of working with Alan again last week when he booked a slot on my week-long event at an amazing cottage location in Bridgnorth.

Anyone who knows me knows that I love working with Alan! He’s fabulous company and it’s always lovely to catch up with him. Long story short, he’s an absolute star!

We spent 3 hours shooting in the new location, and we managed to capture so many different looks and styles. I love the images I’ve seen from the shoot so far. Alan is always so kind in sharing images from our shoots with me, something I really appreciate!

Needless to say, I’d recommend Alan to other models wholeheartedly, and I look forward to working with him again. Thanks so much Alan 😊

I had another absolutely lovely shoot with this absolutely lovely photographer last week. Alan and I returned to one of our favourites locations, Daniel’s Mill, for another few hours of creative fun.

I brought a suitcase full of outfits with me, but we zoned in on some really authentic period looks and found so much inspiration in two of the outfits that we spent the 3 hours shooting just those! The first outfit, in particular, lent itself really well to the location and the back of cams we were getting were amazing!

Alan is so much fun to be around and the whole photoshoot process with him is charmed from beginning to end! Time always flies!

We could chat for England when we get together, and invariably we do 😁 Somehow we manage to capture lots of wonderful images at the same time.

If you haven’t worked with him, do it now! You won’t regret it! Thanks Alan! 😊

Alan remotely came to our Pop Art Group shoot run by Alastair Currill and myself last Thursday. Alan was logged in and ready to go, as cheerful as ever! Alan and I shot well through tethering. Alan was very patient, waiting his turn, gave good direction and made me laugh as usual! Always pleasant to shoot with Alan, I hope you got some good shots Alan. Always highly recommended :) x

Holly Alexander

I worked with Alan again yesterday at my studio day at Skylark Studio. Alan was a pleasure to work with as always. He knows what he wants to create, and he really made the most of the different areas of the studio.

Looking forward to working together again in 2023 :)
