This was my second time working at Pozers studio, this time in a duo with Helen Diaz. Alley, the studio owner was so lovely to work with, she never stopped, always making sure the photographers had the right lighting, and had refreshments etc..

She worked really hard through-out the day, catering and preparing the food, timing the photographers on the group shoot and so on.

The studio was really great, lots of props to work with and the day was really well planned.

I highly recommend Alley and her studio to everyone.

Thanks Alley.

I haven't had time for quite some time to dedicate myself into photography due to other work commitments, so it was with great anticipation that I signed up for a group shot at PoZersStudio, as I though it could be a fun way to re-engage with my passion, and what a choice, Alley was absolutely amazing throughout the whole experience, from our initial correspondence to the day itself. She not only made sure that we all had a good time, but she also made sure to help with the light and much, much more.

I recommend Pozers 100% for both beginners and for routine photographers and look very much forward to my next visit (once time allow).

PS. Did I mention the laughs and the smiles?

I just came back from a wonderful weekend at Pozers! Alley met me at the station, hosted me, fed me, made me tea all weekend, and of course her company was amazing. A delight to work with, and one of the best studios to have a studio day at. Would recommend to any model, Alley knows her stuff. Definitely will get another one in the diary soon!!

What a wonderful session with Gem at Pozers. I'm very impressed at the facilities at the studio. superb help from Alley for someone with limited studio expertise and a juggling act to perform between making sure the model, photographer and equipment are all taken care of. The studio looked even more amazing than it did last time I was there. All of that in a quiet location helps with the concentration. My only problem is that I'm being seduced by the photography and might have to add a source portfolio to my next sculpt. It's a great place. thoroughly recommended. Thanks a million Alley, I know I'll be back to shoot more material in the future.

I had a wonderful shoot with Gem at Pozers studio this morning. It was a delight to see Alley again and use her studio. The studio is well equipped and Alley is such a wonderful person, very helpful and great to chat through ideas with and then assist in setting up the lighting to deliver the pre-visualised images. Thank you so much for your help and being such a great person. Very highly recommended to all photographers and models. Thanks again Alley and I hope to use your studio again to create some more great images.

If you want to ignite your passion for photography, book a shoot at Pozers. Alley will be your extraordinary host. She brings everything you need to the table: great empathy and enthusiasm for your ideas; a stellar handling of lights and make-up; huge warmth and delight in your ideas, theme and shooting style; and acts as a catalyst for the best shots you will ever make. All her shoots are brilliantly prepared. Model and photographer are brought together in wonderful and satisfying collaboration. I always feel like I am excelling in Alley's company; she fill me with confidence and makes me feel like I am growing as an artist and communicator. She is always aware that your relationship with the model is of paramount importance and makes sure that the model feels safe and relaxed ... she brings out the best in all the models I have worked with at Pozers. I came away from my Sakura Star shoot with a very warm feeling inside. It was a feeling of friendship ... and of satisfaction in a job well done. Alley encourages you to such an extent that your ideas literally take shape before your very eyes. She's by your side when you need her. She can sense that you need something even before that need has fully formed in your mind. And sometimes her wisdom, ability and knowledge are such that she has already put into action something that you really needed to make the shot work. This way of working completely inspires me. And I don't really find that anywhere else. Not like this. Not with such a sense of fun. A sense that is garnished with spontaneity, inspiration and huge satisfaction.

Thank you Alley for being such a great friend ... for being a great supporter of model and photographer alike ... of keeping us safe and making us wise.

I can't wait to continue developing my work with you Alley ... and of course I have already booked my next shoot at Pozers .. actually my next three! And yes, I do shoot elsewhere ... but Pozers is my photography home. A place where I really feel at home as both an artist and someone who adores this medium of beauty. Alley understands this. She relishes the creative process. She is extraordinarily brilliant at both honoring and providing the conditions that usher it in.

Take in the Alps

I love working at Pozers and with Alley; it's pure delight for me. My last shoot there was a workshop with 5 other photographers, some of them relatively new or completely new to photography. That mix of experience only served to make the workshop, with the wickedly gifted Helen Diaz, all the more pleasurable.

It is humbling to witness just how brilliantly, generously and warmly Alley directs workshops and holds the space. She does it with the utmost care, with wit, charm and intelligence. And as if that wasn't enough, her brilliance in shaping the lighting, passing on skills, and igniting your confidence and desire as a photographer is unprecedented. Whey hey, I certainly lucked out when I first discovered the incomparable pleasures of shooting at Pozers.

In a short space of time Alley has become a good friend. Though that probably isn't unusual in this business, she's that kind of friend that you only make all too infrequently .. one that's going to last your whole life .. and beyond. One who is rooting for you in all that you do even when you're not there working with her. She takes a keen interest in your progress. This I have seen at first hand, marvelling at her rapport with many a photographer who is just starting on her/his journey or who has plenty of years under her/his belt.

Sometimes I ring Alley up for a chat. It is always a delight to share my ideas with her .. my crazy blooming ideas. It's a proper marvellous exchange and I love listening to her many ideas. She's always so responsive. I come off the phone, inspired, lit up, transformed by her richly enthusiastic and exuberant personality. Suddenly everything makes sense: my photographic journey .. and my life .. and my next shoot is just going to be the most spectacular adventure I've ever entered into.

If you want to be completely uplifted in life, book a shoot or a workshop at Pozers. You will be made up! If you want to smile and laugh and be in complete, transfixed wonderment at the shots you are making .. that can all happen for you at Pozers with Alley. If you are in any doubt, ask the models who have worked at Pozers with Alley. They'll all tell you how relaxed they feel when working there; how Alley makes them feel acknowledged and safe. This is another hugely contributory factor in making your shoot incredible for you. What are you waiting for me? Message her and talk about what you want to create. She will be only to happy to meet you at exactly the point you want to be. She adores people who are excited by creativity like herself. If that's you, then Pozers might just be the studio you've always longed for; and Alley the brilliant studio manger, make-up artist, lighting genius and wonderful photographer you've always wanted to meet .. someone who will fire you into the next orbit of your wonderful photographing life.

Sakura Star

What a wonderful studio!

Ally kindly collected me from the station and was very personable and chatty on the way to the studio and made me feel very welcome.

I had a shoot booked with Take in the Alps who is a regular at the studio.

The location is lovely, the studio is well equipped, has a magic prop room and an array of outfits to inspire your shoot.

Ally is a diamond at lighting and very knowledgable and was a wonderful host.

I look forward to visiting again soon.

Thank you xx

Alley arrived at the studio an hour before me and the photographer to get the studio heated up :) she did everything for myself and the photographer.. every lighting set up, back of the screen camera reviews then light tweaking, makeup, hair and a constant flow of tea and coffee. She is the most amazing person and bubbly character! So excited for my studio weekend :D thank you Alley you did not stop yesterday and I truely appreciate everything you did! Thank you for being you :)

Just amazing studio..Ally is Fab! I can't wait to work at Pozers again!

I had the most enjoyable shoot at PoZers studio, Alley is an absolute delight!!

The shoot was such fun from the get go. Alley’s collection of props and costumes are like a treasure cove, I felt like a child in a sweet shop - it was so difficult to choose from all the delightful items!

The stuido is so well equipped with everything you could ever need as a model or photographer! Alley has done so well with the studio!

I cannot wait for a return visit to the studio and especially to see Alley for a good chat and a laugh!

If you are looking for a fantastic all round studio to shoot in, look no further, you have found it!

Highly recommended

Into the breach once more as they say.

Probably a wrong expression but I had yet another five days with the effervescent, kind and generous Alley Stallard at PoZers studio.

Alley is just amazing and works tirelessly to give every assistance and ensure one has a successful shoot in addition to supplying endless refreshments.

Moreover, Ally meets the models at Swindon Station and take them beach there after the shoot. Astonishing service.

Thank you again, Alley - you are my favourite.

Thank you Alley and all the photographers who booked both my duo day with Helen Diaz and my solo day on the Sunday. The weekend flew by which in my experience shows it was a fantastic occasion. Once agin Alley delivers with her excellent hospitality and wicked sense of humour. See you in September and please book this studio.

Helen Diaz

I worked at the amazing POZERS STUDIO (one of the best studios in Wiltshire!) on a workshop recently with Pip the Gentleman and had a BLAST!

As always, I knew I could rely on Alley to create a simply amazing, FUN, JAM-PACKED day!! Alley is the Fairy God mother of the studio and photography world- she creates the full package for the photographer and model on a workshop as soon as they come through the door- She is an abundance of love, passion, creativity, knowledge, talent and FUN!

It was myself and Pips first workshop together and we had a fully sold out workshop with 6 photographers on the day! Alley had gone to a great effort to sell out the day and it was run beautifully. Alleys events are without a doubt some of the most enjoyable workshops and events I have attended- everyone is made to feel very welcome- and always enjoys themselves immensely!

I loved how the day was organised- and lunch is always a pleasure and a break creatives always look forward to as Alley created a FEAST for all us!

Its really clear to see why so many inspired photographers book onto Alleys workshops, as she gos above and beyond to create a very memorable day for everyone that steps through her studio door.

It was a super busy day with lots of lighting set ups, costume changes and more- but I had a fantastic day and went away with a HUGE grin and the feeling that I had met and worked with some fantastic new people- and hopefully will do again in the future!

If you get the chance to work with Alley either as a photographer, model, MUA, stylist or artist- definitely take it! She is very kind, very generous and will help you to develop and enhance your skills.

I am really proud to her someone like Alley as a friend and working in this industry. I can honestly say that whenever I have a bit of a down day or I need a boost and inspiration, Alley is a shining light in the photography world of warmth, passion and love that I hope I always return to.

SUPER HIGHLY recommended to all creatives and looking forward to our next adventure. Thankyou my lovely friend!

Attended today one of the many group and 'sequential' studio sessions the kind, thoughtful, energetic, talented Alley runs at her well described (above) studio, Pozers. Well I've said it all, really, haven't I? See you again soon, Alley.

Well this was my first studio shoot, and what a delight it was to be at Pozers. Alley is a sensational host and her knowledge and her energy and obvious love for her fantastic studio shines through! It is a great learning environment and the other members of the group were also eager to pass on their knowledge, experience and even assistance with camera settings and recommendations for all things photography.

The models were absolutely fantastic and made a nervous wreck feel at home within the first ten minutes of shooting. The day shot by and I cannot wait for another opportunity to return and progress my learning with the amazing Alley!

I absolutely love PoZers and would live inside the studio if I had the opportunity.

I have never met a nicer studio owner who looks after the welfare of the models and photographers who visit.

Alley is really friendly, chatty and easy going with a professional attitude, always has a smile and with her warm personality you will feel right at home.

She is organised and prepared with a very clean studio and plenty of props that will have you entertained all day plus she is an extremely talented makeup artist and happy to bring your ideas to life.

I am amazed at how multi talented she is and I can't wait to be back in the studio soon.

She was kind enough to let me stay at her's whilst I had a studio weekend and went out of her way to make me feel comfortable and relaxed.

Alley will help when needed but also will just let you get on with things.

I absolutely love this lady.

Highly recommended!

Just had another great shoot at PoZers studio, this time at Victoria Summers' studio day. PoZers really is a fantastic studio with excellent facilities, including all the usual lighting, modifiers etc. Alley is on hand to provide whatever advice and assistance is required and helps create a really friendly and relaxed atmosphere in which to work.

The studio also has some great quality props and these, together with an amazing range of outfits, including Alley's own creations, means there are almost limitless shooting possibilities.

Definitely highly recommended and I'll certainly be using the studio again.

I had a studio day at Pozers on Saturday and Wow I loved every second of it!

Alley is the kindest creative loveliest lady I have ever ever met! She made sure I was okay all throughout the shoot and always making sure everyone is okay or needs drinks etc. She was always on hand with lighting which she is so good at.

The studio is great it’s very clean tidy and has so many cool props clothes and jewellery. You can really see how much hard work and effort alley puts into her studio. I honestly couldn’t fault it in any way. I was lucky enough to have my make up done by alley and it was amazing! I didn’t want to take it off, it looked so cool :)

I enjoyed my studio day so much and I was looked after so so well. I can’t wait to come back to pozers. Thank you alley for everything you are a star! Highly recommended xx
