Had an amazing shoot with DrAC today, he was really fun to work with, we spent most of the time chatting but the time we did spend shooting was lovely, he is proffesional and skilled, has some great ideas and is easy to work with. I highly recommend and will definitely be working with him again

Had my first shoot with this wonderful gentleman today. Pre comms were excellent, I was given concise details of what style he wanted to shoot and the exact location of how to get there. This enabled me to arrive fully prepared. On top of getting some great images the conversation was free flowing and very interesting and Alan totally put me at ease as he was very respectful and great to get along with. I also met his lovely wife Sue.

I highly recommend Alan, he's an absolute gent to work with.

Book him, you won't regret it!

It was an absolute pleasure to meet and work with Alan for the first time.

He and his lovely wife came to Liverpool for a week; so finally, we had a chance to manage a shoot because we had some communication before this to work together but it didn't happen because of our distance.

Alan and his wife were very nice and welcomed me. Pre-shoot communication was very good and clear.

We have different styles but we agreed to combine both styles and favourites to create acceptable images for both of us.

Alan is a gentleman, polite and respectable person and I enjoyed discussing with him during the shoot about photography, culture, etc.

I hope we could have a chance to work together again in the future and highly recommend him to work with.

Many thanks Alan!

I've been terribly remiss and am very tardy in leaving a reference for Alan following our shoot last year.

We had chatted about the possibility of a shoot for a while and finally made it happen. It was my first venture south of the border since the beginning of the pandemic. On the day itself, there was chaos on the rail network and it was a fairly stressful journey from Edinburgh to Middlesbrough, but I was determined that I would get there!

Alan and his wife were friendly and welcoming, and the shoot was very enjoyable. We chatted lots, tried out a few different outfits/looks, I was fed and watered, and ended up having a great day in spite of the difficulties with the trains.

I would recommend Alan to other models and hope to work with him again :)

This was my first shoot with Alan and it was a long time in the works! We were chatting before the pandemic struck and then had to wait ages before being able to arrange anything. We discussed ideas in some detail and I was directed to his various albums to get a good indication of the kind of results he was after achieving. Pre-comms were regular and told me all I needed to know, we got a lot done in 4 hours with several outfit changes focusing on sheer and lingerie. Inbetween sets we discussed his trips abroad, I was especially fascinated by his trips to Japan as its my dream destination! Alan was also very respectful and made me feel totally at ease, hope to work with him again one day in the future.

Had my first shoot with Alan today and I had a fantastic time!

Prior to the shoot, we chatted a bit so I really felt like I knew Alan and was comfortable working with him when I turned up.

Alan has so many stories to share! It was really interesting chatting to him.

The studio at his home is lovely and I enjoyed seeing some of his other photography on display

I'd definitely recommend working with Alan

We had our first shoot today at photographer's house and what a shoot it was! First of all, we've been communicating for a while beforehand and finally got our photoshoot booked in. The communication was fantastic- clear message, fully respecting each other boundaries and ideas, creative vibe full on.

When I heard about the theme- Chicago/Cabaret- I absolutely loved it! YES! I knew it was going to be a great shoot, but I did not expect such a warm and lovely welcome. We worked at DrAC's house turned into a studio and it was amazing- friendly atmosphere, changing room, toilet, studio- everything a model needs.

We chatted all the time, on so many topics, it made me feel very welcome and relaxed. The shot flew by, I enjoyed every minute of it. This actually reminds me why I model- to create unforgettable memories and get to know interesting people, while I do what I love. Memories, that are now saved in form of photos, like souvenirs from an epic journey.

Both DrAC and his wife are fantastic people- so inspiring, welcoming and warm. I will cherish the memories from today, and look forward to our next photoshoot.

DrAC is a perfect gentleman, so welcoming and easy going, I can 100% recommend working with him.

Till we meet again, thank you so much.

It was so nice to finally shoot with Alan yesterday. I went to his home to shoot. I was actually the first model to shoot at his home studio so that's pretty cool. We had talked on here for a while about what we wanted to shoot and also generally chatting back and forth which is always nice because you feel like have got to know them a little bit before hand. His wife was lovely enough to offer to pick me up and drop me off at the local station which was very handy. The shoot just flew by really, it was a four hour shoot but it didn't feel like it. I love the images Alan uploaded from our shoot, they are lovely. I would definitely recommend him to other models and hope we get to shoot again sometime. Thanks a lot for a great shoot.

I have worked with Alan previously about two years ago in Newcastle so I was pleased when we got talking about about another shoot and it went brilliantly! Very friendly and professional photographer. Highly recommended by me :)

Shooting with Alan has been a delightful experience that I truly hope to have again some time.

The conversation was flowing from the run up to the shoot, to the end of the shoot- Alan has many, many stories to share and a whole lot of wisdom that will blow you away!

Alan kept within my limitations which is so important and so respectful! He made me feel comfortable and at ease. We had a very relaxed photoshoot and I really cannot wait to see the photos!

I 100% recommend working with Alan!

After previously arranging a shoot with Alan which was postponed due to the pandemic, I was delighted that we finally were able to arrange to shoot together at my home. Even before meeting Alan, he was so easy to get along with and his communication gave me lots of ideas to help prepare for the shoot based on his photographic aesthetic and style.

Shooting with Alan certainly didn't disappoint - he is a genuinely lovely and down to earth gentleman with a wealth of knowledge and life experiences to share. I honestly think we talked just as much as we shot, which shows just how easy it is to build a rapport with Alan. Alan has a fantastic eye for photography of different styles and is clearly very passionate about what he does, which shines through in his work.

I have already seen some amazing images on the back of the camera and Alan was very quick to share some edited results from the shoot, which I am very pleased with. I really hope to have the opportunity to work with Alan again in the future and would not hesitate to recommend him to other models.

I had the pleasure of meeting and working with DrAC at my place yesterday. We planned to work together a long time ago, but because of the pandemic we had to cancel, and finally got the opportunity to shoot together. Alan’s pre coms were in detail, I knew that this would be an awesome shoot just from exchanging messages with Alan. And he didn’t disappoint. He had so many creative ideas, and he made me feel at ease straight away. I think DrAC is more than a photographer, he turns photography into art. I was impressed with the pictures from our shoot.

Overall, Alan is down to earth, professional, and most importantly a pleasure to shoot with. I do hope we get the chance to work together again in the near future.

Highly recommended.

Shooting with Alan is a truly splendid experience. He has plenty of stories to keep you entertained throughout your shoot, and his communication skills are excellent.

I've no doubt we'll work together again before too long. I would recommend him to models of all levels.

My frist shoot with Dr Ac, he arrived in time and well communication before the shoot. He is kind and very easy to work with, 4 hrs time runs very fast and I am looking forward to work with him again sometime in future. Plus: I am very happy to meet a foodie freind!

I had a lovely time shooting with Alan today.

We shot a mixture of fashion and lingerie at a studio in hartlepool and he made me feel comfortable and at ease. He left all the outfit/ makeup choices up to me, and just asked that I have my hair down. We chatted all the way through the shoot, and he made me laugh a lot- he’s a very charming man with a lot of interesting stories and I’d love to shoot with him again. I can’t wait to see the images!

I only wish we had longer at the end of the shoot, i would really recommend working with Alan and certainly hope to shoot with him again soon :) xx

Today’s shoot took me to Nottingham to work with the wonderful Alan. Pre shoot communications were great and Alan has to be one of the nicest people I’ve ever met.

His approach is laid back, which makes for a relaxed atmosphere, and along with a great, flowing conversation, the shoot of four hours flew by!

If you are an experienced model you will find Alan a delight to work with and if you are only just starting out, he is highly recommended to ease you in to modelling.

I would absolutely work with him again, so hopefully my work takes me up north, before he returns to the Midlands.

Please do take the opportunity to work with Alan, you won’t be disappointed.

I shot with Alan at a lovely AirBnb in Nottingham City Centre, after applying to a casting of his. Alan’s pre-shoot communications were spot on, and his replies were swift, informative and I instantly got the impression he was going to be a lovely person.

On the day of the shoot Alan was easy to contact when I needed some assistance with the parking, and met me with a very warm welcome. I instantly felt at ease to work with him.

We shot a range of levels and styles, whilst having some lovely and in-depth discussions! I always love to meet a fellow creative that is a like-minded and kind individual!

I definitely recommend him! X

Had a shoot booked with Alan and so glad we did. Full of interesting conversation and genuine laughter. Really fun relaxed atmosphere.

Pre comms were great, very professional and polite. I would recommend to all models new and experienced.

He makes a good coffee which is always a bonus!
