Photography by Alley.

Hi there, thank you for visiting my photography page and I hope you will enjoy looking through my images and reading a little about my photography journey.

I have been running a photographic studio just outside Swindon for the last two years, (some of you may already know me, or heard of PoZers Photographic Studio) and I have literally fallen in love with studio & modelling photography.

I have learnt extensively about all sorts of studio photography, beautiful lighting techniques, complex lighting set ups and I appreciate the technical abilities of capturing a beautiful image and editing it, but for me, being a photographer comes from the heart, soul and imagination, and results in an image that tells my audience a story, holds a narrative, entices the viewer and becomes a work of art, from capture to final editing...... Then you move on and do it all again....

A wonderful friend, mentor and life long photographer once told me....

"You are only as good as your next image..."

This wonderful man has given me 40 years of photography skills, squeezed into one year, working day and night, living eating and breathing photography for the last year, and now I am filling in the cracks and flaws,  we all have them, we all start some where and we are only as good as our next image. We all strive to get that "Wow shot" in every shoot we do, and create an image that is loved by the person it encapsulates... then off we go again... shoot...repeat....sleep....

Photography is a journey that I plan on enjoying until I can no longer hold a camera, I no longer have a pulse, and blood no longer pumps around my body....

This is the link to my website, which is commercial based, for the general public, reductions can be made for models who want to build portfolio's etc. Here you will find my wide range of services, which also includes photography tuition and workshops etc.

What genres of photography light my fire ? Pretty much anything.... but ....

I love to create art, so I always capture an image, to the best of my ability, in the back of camera, but then editing takes the image to an artistic level and creates something magical. I have fallen in love with shooting Boudoir and artistic nude photography, taking time to make each image as arty and beautiful as possible. When shooting models in this style, they already appreciate they have a beautiful figures and will compliment a photographers image, so when I shoot my commercial clients, I want to create an image, where they fall in love with themselves again, an image they can be proud of for years to come, a memory to treasure forever. Every woman encapsulates beauty from the inside outward, some of them have just lost their vision and I make them see again.....

  I love to capture strong and beautiful portraits, with complex lighting to enhance the image back of camera. On every portrait I create, I love to create an image that the audience is captivated with the subjects eyes, the glowing natural beauty of their face and hair, nothing to distract the voyeur away from the face. 

I love shooting fantasy creations and Avante Garde fashion looks, and being a costume designer, specialist media makeup artist, prop maker, studio owner and photographer allows me to work on my own projects finally, so 2018 I have huge plans for creating a lot more artistic fantasy creations and taking my photography to the next level. I have spent so many years creating fantasy characters for photographers, publications and numerous others etc. now its my time to focus on my fantasy creations, for my portfolio, and will consider collaborations with models for my fantasy work, for which I will post castings. 

Being a degree trained special effects makeup artist, my guilty secret is horror photography. I can create  intense spfx makeup, costumes, sets etc. So creating horror images is something else I want to do during 2018, I haven't really had the time to focus on this genre yet, but you will see more of this in the coming year....

I currently offer model portfolio building, providing makeup, hair, styling, studio and images for very competitive prices. I cover pretty much all genres (please read my levels to the right of this page). As every genre is so broad, all my packages are bespoke and price is on application, so drop me a message and don't be shy. I can include horror, fantasy, boudoir, portraits, avante garde fashion and most other genres, please enquire, you'll be surprised, prices start from as little as £100. There is no job too big and no job too small... feel free to ask me.... what't the worse that can happen....

Whilst I am comfortable shooting the majority of genres, please don't message me about levels I don't shoot, they are clearly listed at the top of the page on the right hand side. Thank you.  

Thank you for taking your time to read my portfolio and I hope you enjoy my images.
