What can I say about alan that I've not said in my last references.

As always, alan picked me up on time as we live down the road from each other, so makes sense. Had another warm welcome, smiling and excited as ever for over shoot. A little different this time as it was a studio shoot not something we both fully use to. It was still amazing. Alan is amazing and can get fabulous pictures.

We tend so have a general theme (this time is was 60s hippy theme) them we wing the rest which seems to work for us as all out photos turn out brilliant.

Alan is just amazing cant not wait to see what get up to next.

100% recommended to anyone.

Another fantastic shoot with alan!

They just keep getting better and better… I look forward to seeing what we have created together and it’s lovely to see the growth of confidence. Alan really doesn’t give himself enough credit!

Had my sixth shoot with Alan the other day and as always it was such a pleasure.

Alan is a great photographer to shoot with and is always up for taking my ideas on board. I proposed a shoot at John Ryland's Library as I like the Victorian look.

Alan was the only photographer who could take such an idea and make it work for the both of us.

I always feel comfortable & completely at ease when I shoot with Alan.

I was really happy with the images that we got. He is a great artist & lovely person. Would definitely recommend him.

Looking forward to our next shoot together!

Thanks again Alan

Yet another fab shoot with Alan! Arrived on time and was ready to get started. He has great lighting skills and works hard to get the shots he wants using different angles.

Alan is a true gentleman and automatically makes you feel at ease. I will look forward to working with him again! X

Yet again another amazing shoot with Alan. Amazing photographer he knows how to get a good image as well as just go with the flow of things. Always a pleasure to work him. And we together have had our work published twice in the creative cosplay magazine. Looking forward to future shoots.

Oh and there alway is a quick turn around on the images. This does not affect the standard of the images they are always top mark and great standard of edits.

well where do I start, Alan was a pleasure to work with and Not only was I made to feel comfortable but as we were doing the shoot he had alot of ideas himself which made for a successful shoot. I would defnitley recommend him if you are looking for a photographer. I left the shoot feeling happy with what we produced and when I got the pictures back I was amazed with how they came out. Very talented Photographer and would recommend him 100%

Just had an amazing first shoot today with Alan! He arrived on time, chose the location really well and was a pleasure to work with. He has an amazing eye for composition and what I've seen on the back of the camera was excellent. He directs well, is happy to let the model brings their ideas and he made me feel at ease throughout the whole shoot.

I'm looking forward to shoot with Alan again! 100% recommend him :)

Had an amazing 2nd shoot with Alan. Once a again a very easy shoot. Got some great images. Worked well with location change due to weather. Manged to edit the back ground amazingly. Can't not wait to do another shoot on location when weather behaves. Would definitely recommend 👌

I think, Alans are basically fine.. 🐈 One of them, for example, playing a guitar for me and sometimes singing.. or taking a walk on a video for me.. Well.. Alan Claudy Bay didn't sing at all, but he likes to shoot shoot shoot.. And I think, that is also.. fine.. The pre-communication was correct and he turned up on time. The level of collaboration was good 2. He had some concrete plans, and I've also created some ideas/styles for the day of the shoot to make sure he is not feeling too bored and to have larger scale of images to choose from. Certainly, not all of my posings were successful, but I'll see which pieces of me will he choose for his own plans.. 😉🤞 One of my favourite thing at working with Alan(s) is their high experience with people. It is not easy to work with me, but it seemed, Alan exactly knows how to talk to people at the other end of the camera.. and I think, it is.. fine.. Moreover, it is essential for the possible best results..🐈 I like his editing too. So singing or shooting, I'd recommend an Alan.. ✌️

I had such a wonderful shoot with Alan today! It was our first time working together and he arrived on time. He brought beautiful flowers I suggested to use for our shoot and I’m so glad he got them cause messing around with them and trying to pose with them in unconventional, not obvious way was lots of fun. We used tapestry with an elephant on my wall and colourful dress - I loved the vibrant colours on those! We were just bouncing ideas to each other. He’s great at giving direction and knows what he wants to achieve, he suggested some great poses and facial expressions that helped us create really good photos. His sense of humour along with friendliness and relaxed approach make me excited for our next shoot to come. If you want to work with photographer who will make you feel safe, comfortable and will have a great chat along the way message Alan - I’m sure you will have an amazing shoot :)

Thank you so much for a fab time!

Had a great first shoot with Alan at my home studio and I really enjoyed working with him .He's got great ideas and knows what looks good and what he wants to shoot and I found him to be chatty and well mannered he has a good eye for photography and could see he's got the ability to take good quality images hopefully it won't be too long before we do another thanks Alan.

This was my 5th shoot now with Alan and like all our shoots it was yes another wonderful creative experience.

Alan is not just a wonderful kind person but alao a very unique and talented photographer with a very varied style and is always beeming with ideas and love for his craft. For this shoot we discussed a basic concept beforehand and then decided to take it slow on the day and discuss and plan shots beforehand.

He chose a great location for this shoot and found some wonderful spots to shoot at. He lets me put a lot of creative input but also is great at giving directions were needed to get those perfect images.

This was one of my last shoots I will do before my baby daughter arrives and I'm just so grateful to have Alan capture that last part of the journey for me and know I will look fondly back on those images taken on this day 😊

Thanks so much Alan and hope for more in the future!

As always my highest recommendation 😊

5th shoot with Alan, which in itself speaks volumes. As always pre comms spot on, Alan arrived early and ready to shoot. He is a lovely guy and a fabulous photographer who makes the model feel confident and at ease which shows in the images. The images Alan produces are amazing quality and i love the colours and sharpness. Highly recommended xx

This was my fourth shoot now with Alan, it had been a while since our last one so it was really lovely to catch up and this shoot definitely reminded me why he is one of my all time favorite people to work with.

Alan's work is very versatile as one can see from his vast portfolio, for this shoot we discussed some ideas beforehand and it was lovely for me to have the creative freedom to propose some ideas myself. We were both on the same page when it came to the planning of this shoot and Alan proposed the perfect location for it.

On the day of the shoot Alan was even so kind to pick me up and drive me to the location, the shoot itself went so smoothly. We navigated the large scenic outdoors area and Alan found some marvelous spots to shoot at. Alan allowed me to be very free and creative in my posing but also gave the right directions where needed. He is a very warm sincere and kind person as well as a very skilled photographer and it's simply joy to work with him.

I already saw several images on the same day and they look absolutely stunning and couldn't be happier how they turned out! :) I would certainly give me highest recommendation to both new and experienced models to work with this marvelous photographer.

Thanks so much Alan, till the next time :)

It was a pleasure meeting Alan for the first time, we had arranged a casual, natural style shoot from my home.

Pre comms were perfect, Alan arrived on time, he was professional and a gentleman.

Alan's images are beautiful, nothing too posed, just natural, calm and relaxed. It was an absolute pleasure shooting with Alan and I'd love to shoot with him again. I highly recommend him to other models.
