Alex was an absolute pleasure to work with!

He brought snacks and drinks, which was very thoughtful.

He's a very talented photographer, and I loved the photos I saw off the back of the camera. He was very precise about his lighting, which paid off because the photos looked amazing.

He is very respectful, and has a pleasant personality. I felt completely at ease and relaxed.

I really enjoyed shooting with Alex and would love to work with him again any time.

Thanks for a great shoot! Alex comes highly recommended.

I had my third shoot with Alex on Tuesday and I absolutely loved working with him as always!

Alex picked me up and on our journey bought me food.

He booked a superb castle in Galway.

We had the castle to ourselves and the ideas just flowed!

Alex has an amazing eye to catch a photo, he truly is so talented and needs to learn to take a compliment ;)

The weather was against us all day but we did manage to get outside shots!

He bring me for food and also had snacks and drinks with him for us to enjoy on our breaks.

Seriously models if you get the chance to work with Alex DO IT!

I’d highly recommend and would work with him again in a heartbeat!

I had a second successful shoot with Alex early this week and it was a pleasure to work with him again. On this occasion, he came to my neck of the woods and we scoured the wilderness of Connemara to shoot some art nude.

After dodging endless tourists and locals, we found the perfect spot, a lake located over a hill and o it of the sight of the road with the magnificent Twelve Pins mountains in the background.

Alex was the ultimate gentleman throughout, constantly checking to see if I was cold or tired and offering me snacks. He was also so patient all day as we drove through the countryside.

Highly recommended again of course!

Wow I just wrapped an amazing shoot with Alex and I don't even know where to start.

His pre shoot comms were excellent from start to finish and it was easy to organize our day. I travelled to Dublin to his studio where shot a massive amount of art nude, dance, pole, hoop and portrait. I'm amazed we got so much top quality work done.

The highlight though was driving up into the Wicklow mountains and shooting guerrilla style in some of the most beautiful landscape I've ever seen, on top of cliffs, overlooking lakes, it was absolutely stunning and I had so much fun, even if we had to keep dodging tourist buses!

Alex was super polite and professional, made sure I was well fed and fueled throughout the long day and kept insisting I take breaks when he could tell I was tired. He's very easy to talk to knowledgeable about his photography and has an incredible eye for art nude.

I can't wait to work with him again and to see the results of our efforts. Thanks for a magical day Alex!

Alex is a really kind, creative and easy going person. In his equipped studio is possible to use hoop, rings, cubes, balls and many other stuff to create beautiful pictures! Shooting with him was a big pleasure and I really appreciated his way to work, proposing ideas but also leaving me free to pose in my style and putting me immediately at ease. I really hope to meet him again! =)

First off I think it goes without saying that Alex is a gentlemen. He was very welcoming from the moment we met and you can instantaneously tell he is a friendly soul.

I was very surprised by his lighting set up of multiple theatre lights but he is very experienced with them and knows how to use them very well! His studio has so much great stuff in it that you'll never get round using everything that you'll want to use in one shoot and another nice addition is that he shoots tethered so you will take a few images, review them on the big screen, discuss ideas and constantly work on bettering the shot which I really like, QUALITY over quantity is what you get!

Another thing I must mention is Alex's photoshop ability. He is very handy with photoshop I must say, I thought it's us youngsters who are meant to be good at technology but he blows me and many others out of the water! Me and Tillie were undoubtably very impressed and excited to see the outcome of what he produces.

I can highly recommend Alex to anyone that it looking to work with him. You will have a great time with this equally great guy.

Alex booked me on my Ireland tour which was already pretty full so unfortunately we only managed to get in a half day booking, he had seen mine and Leon's duo work together and expressed an interest in shooting us together for part of the time. We managed to cram in another hour by starting earlier so we shot 2 hours duo and 3 solo.

Ahead of the shoot Alex let us know what type of images he would like to shoot and also an extensive amount of awesome props we could shoot with too, which included an aerial hoop/ropes/boxes/a pole/gymnastic rings...which got both myself and Leon super enthused for the shoot.

On arrival Alex welcomed us both into his home with a cup of tea and general chat about the images. His home cannot go without a mention, it is truly stunning and with perfectly manicured gardens and a large en site studio in the bottom of his garden. I was completely blown away, it is the most profession home studio set up I have ever seen.

The studio is spacious, warm and well equipped with lighting attached to the ceiling which I have never seen before. Alex uses theatre lights which produce really interesting results, I loved the way when he needed a little more light on a hand or foot etc he would like pull the light in each which way or turn another on to fix it.

We made very good use of the props as a duo creating shapes on the box, floor, gymnastic rings and also of the the silver metal balls. Alex shoots tethered and has 2 large screens for reference which was extremely helpful whilst posing to be able to see if a leg, arm or something needed slightly adjusting to make the shot even better.

I am so pleased with what we created as a duo and also solo. I shot using the rings/vault/box and aerial hoop, I was shocked at what I managed to create using the hoop and it was all thanks to Alex's enthusiasm and belief in me.

He is a wonderful and kind person, respectful and professional at all times, if any images showed too much he deleted them right away and made it very clear that he would rather just get rid of them straight away than leave them and just not use them.

I would 100% recommend Alex to other models and can't wait to return again next year and shoot together again (hopefully longer next time) :)

Thanks so much, Tillie x

Let me start with Alex is a true gentleman from start to finish communiting via messages, during and after the shoot. We had our first outdoor art nude shoot today. It was such an adventure and we found amazing places! Alex also picked me up and dropped me home plus brought goodies for me to eat and drink during the shoot! I would highly recommend Alex as his work truely speaks for itself! Cant wait to work together again Alex, best wishes

Alex is such a lovely photographer to work with! :D I even found his communications really enjoyable because he has such an art-orientated background and drive that it comes through in his emails and you really start to get a flow going about arty chatter before you've even had the chance to work together! He is extraordinarily passionate about his work and it shines from the word go. I had the utter pleasure of working with this gent on one of my early tours of 2018 when I came to Ireland... I sure hope it's not the last time we work together too. :)

Alex was clear and concise about the visions/plans he had for the shoot and in no time at all: we had swiftly confirmed the arrangements by which our shoot would happen it a matter of a few quick messages. What a star, this makes it so much easier for a touring model because you might have 20+ shoots on a big tour and of course you want to make sure that you're delivering the best you can with each so when a photographer is really brilliant with getting the essential details confirmed quickly, it's a huge weight of your shoulders with coordinating your travel/work plans and so forth. I cannot thank Alex enough for that. :) His professionalism that came through as we were initially talking online also transferred onto the shoot and there were just amazing vibes all round. :) He's a truly courteous and considerate person who thinks with care about making sure models feel safe, happy and well sustained throughout a shoot... He had an abundance of snack to offer, herbal tea on-tap and a lovely warm space for me to camp out and prepare myself in-between sets. He really is a pro when it comes to ticking all the boxes for things that make a model comfortable whilst at work.

His studio is marvellous, the setup he has created his beyond genius and like nothing you've ever seen! It's like walking on-stage into a memorable Hollywood/theatre set and being in the spotlight! Completely fair pair to Alex who engineered it all himself too, there's a lot of power required for the lights so he was constantly running around changing things up to enable the lights to work and took technical glitches with a pinch of salt keeping calm and more just being conscious that I was waiting ready to pose so he'd be on-hand to get me the warm studio robe and ensure I was not suffering whilst he made adjustments etc.

The props Alex has almost need a whole reference of their own!!! :D He has the most amazing collection of items which come out beautifully: each prop we used brought about some stunning results and Alex has the skills to frame up/light each moment into a beautiful photograph and then also something he can work on later in post. It goes without saying that he bears a true artists eye when he's operating the lights and taking care to see where each one falls. We got some top quality results which we could see as we shot because they were tethered to Alex's computer. The rapport and teamwork was unquestionable, he's such an easy person to gel with on a shoot and once you get into that flow, there's nothing stopping you! :D

Did I mention that Alex is a barrel of laughs too? We probably got just as much chatting done as we got good pictures. The whole atmosphere was just totally upbeat and very enjoyable. :)

Very highly recommended.

Had a great shoot with Alex during my Dublin tour . Alex communication is great , the shoot was arranged in a matter of messages . Alex made me feel welcomed and comfortable at all times . His first priportity came apparent straight away and that was his model's safety and comfort . Snacks prepared , heating on ... As soon as I stepped into the studio I was eager to start shooting surrounded by all these wonderful props. New props and my fav genre art nude what could be better . Alex even warmed up his props and the floor ... now that was a first but a happy model is a productive model and we certainly were . Alex is a gentleman and a true artist . We got a variety of shots in a few hours , all so different despite the same genre . I cannot wait to come back and hopefully shoot again . Thanks you so much ... Jess x

Alex was my last shoot from my tour in Ireland and it was a beautiful shoot and experience.

Despite being located rather far from his studio, he picked me up at my place and dropped me back during traffic time. I highly appreciate and applause his patience and hard work.

Always making sure I felt comfortable, warm and well fed, I never met such a considerate and kind photographer. He was also very fun to work with. His studio is very well equipped with accessories and props and Alex was always up to try the ideas that I proposed. So many possibilities with this photographer. He is a wonderful collaborator.

We took breaks to review the results and I am delighted how the pictures looked already. I can't wait to see the final images.

I very highly recommend Alex of course and I look forward to another photoshoot with him.

I enjoyed my first shoot with Alex in Dublin whilst on my first tour of Ireland on a location and studio shoot doing some nude and dance styles. I was made to feel so at home and relaxed and we clicked instantly. Alex is a pleasure to meet and work with, he was chatty, polite, organised and so enthusiastic. Not to mention his amazing garden and fantastic studio fully equipped with lights, props, outfits and a beauty room for changing, doing hair & makeup and a warm robe & slippers for in between shooting at his home studio which is separate from his house. So any models going to shoot with Alex there you will be more than safe.

After a quick cup of coffee and meeting his lovely wife we went off to make some art.

This was an excellent shoot with superb results and I did my first ever ball and aerial hoop dancing images which was so much fun. Alex guided me through the whole process and made sure I would not get hurt or fall etc.

Communications leading up to our shoot were excellent and Alex sent me some very informative emails leading up to my trip to Ireland regarding our shoot, the things he wanted to try, the location and he gave me an in depth message regarding what bus to get and where to get it from when going to meet him to shoot together and so made every step so easy.

Alex arrived on time to pick me up from the bus and also dropped me off again at the bus stop after our shoot even making sure the bus driver knew I was not from the area and making sure he would give me a shout when I was at the correct stop to get off. So if you are a travelling model you are in good hands especially if it is your first time and you are unsure of anything.

He was so kind and caring making sure I was warm, refreshed, getting plenty of breaks and we went for some lunch in between shooting which was lovely.

Our shoot flew by so quickly and even though half way through Alex ended up with a bit of a bump on the face due to a pose we were trying to create he still carried on for the amount of time he had booked me still full of energy and very excited about the images we were achieving. (Just to add the aerial hoop hit him in the face after spinning around, so no it was not me. lol)

Alex is extremely experienced, professional, kind, caring, so full of energy and highly creative. A complete gentleman and he had some very tasty treats to munch on whilst shooting.

A lovely photographer to work with, do not miss out an opportunity to meet and work with him. You will get some amazing images, learn a thing or two and have a wonderful time. I highly recommend Alex to all.

Thank you so much and I cannot wait till our next meeting Alex.

Aurora :)

Alex applied to a last minute casting call for my first trip to Ireland, what a lovely man! He was respectful, appreciated my feedback and always made sure I was happy. We got some great shots in the time and I enjoyed the shoot thoroughly, highly recommended.

I had an amazing shoot with Alex when I came to Dublin for my tour, it was our first shoot and hopefully won't be the last one ( fingers crossed as I am pretty late with writing those references ! ).

Alex picked me up and we drove to his lovely studio. When I saw it I was absolutely amazed.. such a nice area, massive garden and amazing studio ! I need to say I have never seen so many lights in my whole career ha ! Alex studio was fully equipped and he had all the props ready to be used :). I also need to mention loads of sweets and snacks he prepared for me, it was so kind of him and it really made me feel like I'm home.

We shot for a 6 hours but to be honest I don't know where that time went ! Alex is a really friendly and chatty person with plenty amazing ideas in his head. He is always open to any suggestions and this is what makes a great team! I absolutely loved his studio where we can experiment with crazy and bendy poses and props like swing :) .

Alex was making sure I see what we shoot and I'm happy with our results. He also gave me a quick photoshop course that was really helpful. Absolutely great time we had full of fun .

Thank you, Alex and hopefully we can shoot together soon ! Definitely recommended !

I had another fabulous shoot with Alex. I love his work so much, I love his studio not just to work in but the gallery of work on display is admirable and inspirational. Plus the studio is full of props galore. Alex is such a lovely genuine person.

Looking forward to planning a location shoot.

Alex, highly recommended of course :)

We spent a full day with Alex for our first shooting together, and it was a great day!

We came over the nature around Dublin, where he knows stunning locations, and also to his studio, where I felt like at home!

Despite the day was a bit cold, he was completely kind, cared about me, took time to know what I like and be sure I didn't lack anything. He is respectful, and full of advices. We got a lot of pictures, and I'm looking forward to see the final result! I recommend him with pleasure, and hope we will work again together!

I had a lovely second shoot with Alex during my tour of Ireland

We did a mixture of outdoor and indoor work, which allowed us to accomplish a wide variety of concepts. I especially enjoyed the outdoor portion; the locations he took me to were stunning

He also let me choose some images for him to edit, which is always highly appreciated, and I loved the results. One particular photo from our shoot that I love has become very well received!

Thanks again for another great day Alex!

I had a Brilliant day with Alex during my tour in Ireland in April.

The day was very relaxed but also very creative and productive I got a chance to work outside in Alex's beautiful gardens as well as his lovely home studio.

Alex is very professional, considerate and a real joy to work with.

Highly Recommended!

Worked with at his home studio near dublin. He was a welcoming person, kindly offering me a drink before we started the day.

We ended up working together for a couple of hours,producing some interesting and creative art nude imagery

Recommended by me and would love to work with him again :)
