Another wonderful shoot with Alec during my Kempston Studio day, and boy oh boy, what a shoot to kick the start of the day off with! Alec always comes with bags of engery (and donuts) and plenty of outfits with him too. Alec's pre shoot communications are always excellent, sharing some outfit ideas ahead of time.

During the shoot, he arrived on time and we jumped into our first set. We used lots of Alec's clothing wardrobe and a few of my bits too, really pushing Alec out of his comfort zone and venturing into Kemspton's sets rather than backdrops!

Alec was happy to let me lead and free pose, occasionally suggesting his own ideas. His passion for photography is clear and he always captures absolutely stunning images.

Alec is polite, professional and very courteous of the models he works with, always having our best interest at heart. I love working with Alec, we get along well and have a good old chit chat and catch up as well.

Highly recommended and I look forward to see his edits!

Thankyou for a wonderful shoot!

Worked with Alec after he had put up a casting for a shoot at Creative space studio.

His communication prior to shoot was good and he gave me lots of ideas of what he wanted me to bring, using reference photos and examples of makeup he had seen in my existing photos that he liked.

Arrived at the studio and he was already there and very friendly and welcoming along with Dan who owns the studio.

We got straight to picking out outfits and Alec came with a case full of his own clothes/ jewellery and a makeup kit, which was very useful.

Alec knew what he wanted to capture from each outfit we selected and we managed to capture some great shots from what I’ve seen on the back of camera.

He had lots of ideas for future shoots and I can see he always has a creative idea.

Alec was really kind and even came with cakes and sweet treats to snack on throughout. Would recommend 😊

Finally had my second and third shoot with the lovely Alec at Kempston Studio over the weekend and my studio days.

Alecs imagination combined with mine makes some really cool ideas and we were creating magic.

i love with Alec and his company its so much fun and i cant wait until the next shoot

Alec was fantastic! We collaborated on a fun 4-hour shoot, exploring diverse styles. We experimented with a variety of styles, from edgy black leather to whimsical 50s-inspired strawberry dresses. His friendly nature and creativity made the experience enjoyable.

I am very much looking forward to working with Alec again in the future.

Highly recommend him!

Alec was an absolute delight to work with. His pre comms were great and he was all prepared. He arrives with snacks which I appreciated and was so lovely throughout. His images turned out amazing and were a great product of a very enjoyable shoot. I look forward to working with him again.

Another visit to Alec to the studio and Alec has visited on many many occasions previously.

Alec is really kind to his models and very respectful and always brings cakes and sweet treats to fatten them up! :-)

Alec always has a shoot plan even if it is in his own "chaotic" mind.

As you can tell reading this we always have some great banter in the studio between us.

Plenty of shoots coming up and happy to have Alec in the studio anytime as a trusted photographer.

I shot with Alec over the weekend at Inspire Studios, Alec booked the last 4hrs on the weekend, which is the last time people can shoot there as it is now closed. It was lucky as it was one of my favourite studios so great Alec was the last one to shoot there.

Alec is lovely person, he brought along treats/snacks for everyone which was much appreciated.

Alec is easy to chat to and work with on a shoot, He is wanting to improve his photography and happy to take on ideas and advice and work together as a team.

We had a great 4hrs shooting, which was very productive as we got lots done but also didn't feel rushed at all, the shoot flowed at a nice pace.

Looking forward to working with Alec in 2024.

Thanks for a super shoot.

Best

I worked with Alec when he hired my studio for a shoot with the wonderful model, Leah Phillips.

My first impression was how incredibly professional he was. communication prior to the shoot was excellent and always responded to any messages. He knew what he wanted and came equipped with everything to make the shoot as enjoyable as possible.

When we met on the day, he was very easy to work with and very respectable to everyone on set. He even brought cakes for the occasion which went down very well indeed.

I would recommend anyone to go work with him. He treats the models he works with, the upmost respect and loves working together to create some wonderful images

A true gent and looking forward to working with you again, Alec!!

I worked with Alec at Kempston Studio after a long time waiting, we finally got a shoot booked in! It was worth the wait!

Alec was lovely, kind and caring throughout the shoot, he was honest and took my ideas on board, I think next time we need to remember his ideas too!

I had a great shoot and already have the next one booked in.

I would 100% recommend Alec, and looking forward to working with him again!

Thank you Alec, see you soon :)

Alec and i have worked togther several times now, he is always so positive and friendly on the shoot. He has one of the biggest hearts and always brings lots of snacks with him !!!

Alec loves his fashion and brings lots of interesting outfits to the shoots. He has a number of ideas and he always gives me something different to do.

He is super easy to get along with and keeps you engaged through the shoot. Of course were going to work together again !!!

Alec contacted me regarding a shoot at a local studio (Kempston Studio) and having seen his work on PP and IG how could I say no!

He was extremely welcoming and friendly- and even bought cakes and doughnuts!!! He brought other outfit options, which I loved!

Throughout the shoot, Alec remained professional and friendly, we had a laugh- even playing Christmas tunes (because it’s never too early). We achieved some amazing images and I look forward to working with him again very soon!

Thank you Alec!

Arabella

Alex contacted me due to an unfortunate cancellation he’d faced and I just so happened to be free to stand in!

His comms beforehand were really fabulous, lots of ideas within relations to locations etc…. In fact ideas to fill a months worth of shooting! ☺️

On the day he brought some gorgeous vegan cake and everything he provided whether it makeup or outfits was also vegan which I super appreciated!

The shoot itself was completely fabulous, very relaxed but also very productive! We used the space as well as we could within the time frames and got some really wonderful images!

Alex was a dream to work with! Super friendly, kind and respectful. Just a lovely man! You can tell that he has a real passion for photography and even though he hasn’t been doing it for a really long time he’s really keen to keep improving and learning!

I felt completely comfortable throughout the shoot and would whole heartedly recommend him to other models!

Thanks again Alec and I hope we can shoot together soon in the future!

Alec came to Basford Hurst Cottage to shoot with Miss C (studio owner) in the morning and Arabella in the afternoon.

Pre comms with Alec were great, he was so easy to organise everything with. He arrived on time with everything he needed for the shoot and was quick to settle in. Alec brought not one, not two, but three lots of cake with him!!! So, that was always going to go down well here at Basford!!

Alec worked well alongside Miss C and Arabella throughout the shoot time, he is completely respectful of his model as well as our location.

Alec would be welcome back to Basford Hurst Cottage anytime and I really hope to see him again soon!! Thank you Alec!!

Alec contacted me a while ago to ask about a shoot opportunity at Basford Hurst Cottage and of course I took him up on the opportunity straight away!!! It was apparent from the start that this shoot was going to be a lot of fun!!

Pre comms with Alec were great, he provided me with so many shoot options that 2 hours was no where near enough!!! We ended up shooting some classic garden fashion images, progressing on to some concealed and art nude work in the private woodland. We found a spot with some incredible dappled lighting and this worked a treat!! Alec hasn't been shooting long but he is extremely keen to learn and takes on board ideas but also brings a lot of his own creativity and interpretation to the shoot. He allowed me to pose freely and the back of the camera looked amazing!!

Not only is Alec an incredibly kind, funny, good hearted person, he also brought cake... and... anyone that knows me will know that cake is ALWAYS a winner!!

It was a pleasure to meet Alec and get to know him today and I am really excited to see the images!!

I would be so happy to recommend Alec and I really hope to see him again soon!! Thank you so much Alec!!

Highly recommended!

Worked with Alec for the 2nd time last week at two wei location house.

Pre commutations we’re great, I knew exactly what to bring with me to the shoot, he’s always a pleasure to work with. We created some awesome images, can’t wait to hopefully work together again soon!

I would 100% recommend him to any model looking to work with him.

Thanks again Alec :)

Well it’s been many months since Alec first contacted us but he finally made it to Two Wei a couple of days ago. His comms and planning are second to none - despite what you may think from his username ;)

Alec is a true gent; very friendly and exceptionally respectful - a joy to be around! He’s got loads of ideas but sadly there wasn’t enough time to get everything done so we’re hoping he comes back to do some more :)

We’ve no reservation in recommending Alec to any studio or model he wishes to work with - you’ll be in for a really enjoyable shoot.

I had the true pleasure of meeting Alec for the first time today at the beautiful Two Wei and I would absolutely recommend Alec 💯 👌

Firstly, Alec's pre-shoot communication was superb. Alec had a number of great ideas on themes to try. Alec also has a fantastic eye for styling (which is such a rarity!) and had brought with him some very well cordinated outfits. These came together perfectly.

Alec is truly one of the kindest and most conscientious photographers I've ever met. He went out of his way to make sure my needs were met 🙏 🥲 He is such a genuine and lovely soul and such good company to be around. Some of the images we captured were truly WOW from BOC and I can't wait to see how they turned out. Going from Alecs port, I have no doubt that they're going to look incredible.

Thank you Alec for an amazing and totally enjoyable afternoon. We had a blast and I would really love an opportunity to shoot with you again.

Best wishes

Highly recommend Alec, pre-comms are great, booking our shoot in advance gave us plenty of time to plan for our shoot. Alec let me know exactly what outfits to bring, as well as being organised with his own collection of outfits and makeup kit.

Alec is really easy to work with, we had lots of laughs. I look forward to the future possibility of working with Alec again.

A respectful photographer, our shoot flowed perfectly, resulting in great images!

Highly recommended

Alec is the best guy ever!! What a gem!! I throughly enjoyed meeting him and we hit it off straight away. The time absolutely flew by and before I knew it, it was the end of the shoot, but what an amazing time I had. Alec is such a lovely person, a fabulous photographer, and someone who is so easy to spend time with, and have a giggle with too. He comes highly recommended by me and I’m hoping to book another shoot with him very soon.
