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 !!!

take care of yourself for now !!

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!

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!!

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.

Had my shoot with the ADORABLE Alec at my 2 day studio visit at Kempston studio.

We had been trying to arrange a shoot dove October last year and Alex suggested using the brilliant Kempston studio which turned out amazing.

Alec took the first 4 hours of the first day and from the moment he arrived with cakes in hand I knew we was going to have a great time shooting. Alec is a sweetheart of a person and a great creative photographer with bags on end of outfits and props and even a makeup bag im sure he could put some models to shame with the amount he brings haha!

I enjoyed every minute of the shoot and I can’t wait for our next one which is already being planned.

My highest recommendation and one of my favourite photographers to date.

Yay Alec!

Great guy, definitely improving in his photography skills and now starting to push himself with some different styles of shoot. Always chatty, always reliable, always welcome here.

Alec has now become my chief model scout for finding new models to visit the studio.

Keep up the good work Alec.

Recommended again.

I have worked with Alec twice now both on my studio days at Kempston Studio and every time has been an absolute pleasure! Alec is such a lovely lovely person, easy to get on with and a lot of laughter to be had! And he always brings very yummy sweet treats too!

Alec is very organised and always messages before with ideas and things to bring. This time we did some shots in the bath which was great fun! Alec always kindly sends the images over which is lovely it’s always nice to see what images you achieved in the shoot and there were some beautiful ones!

Alec is the consummate professional always so polite and respectful and just plain lovely! If you get a chance to work with Alec then you should! Wholeheartedly recommended! And hope our paths will cross again in the near future!
