I had a super shoot with Helen Diaz and Soria at Alley's studio. Alley is really hospitable, friendly and helpful. The bijou studio has everything needed for a successful shoot, with a good selection of lights and modifiers and backdrops, makeup area and an extensive wardrobe of outfits and props. We are really pleased with the images that we took at the studio.

Alley is also an expert makeup artist and photographer. She was shooting with Larangella while we were there and had created a really intricate and effective makeup look for her.

Thanks Alley. See you soon.

Highly recommended.

Firstly I would like to say a big thank you to Alley and her family for looking after me the whole weekend on my trip to Swindon. I had excellent communication pre shoot and knew exactly what I needed to bring and what was expected of me during the bad Santa and my 1-1 shoots. I arrived Friday teatime to be greeted by Alley at the studio and had the added bonus of shoot with Helen Diaz and Tony Browne who were both a joy to work with. Watch this space for future images and a duo shoot next year. Both days flew by and I can say honestly say I had a fantastic time and met some wonderful people. It was a great pleasure to work at Pozers and I will be back. Thanks all.

I worked at Alleys amazing studio again recently on an AMAZING Cosplay and Fashion shoot with the amazing Tony Browne!

Tony and I have worked together many times over the years and I always love working together as he creates fantastic lighting sets ups and takes STUNNING shots! Mixed with Alleys studio and lighting and you have the perfect team!!

This time we worked together on a series of predominantly fashion images mixed with COSPLAY which I absolutely LOVED! Tony was super kind to shoot one of my Cosplay outfits (designed by the amazing John Davis, AKA the Foam wizard!) and it was so lovely to do something out of my usual comfort zone- and in such a stunning design.

I believe this was my first proper Cosplay shoot- and no doubt it will be the first of MANY! I am so happy to have achieved this in Alleys studio!

I think looking back over the past year that Alley was one of the promiment people in my life that has inspired me to get into Cosplay, Pin up and more burlesque types of modelling- so thankyou Alley, you have inspired me more than you know or possibly realise!!

Alley has an amazing wardrobe and in the past I found myself trying on garments of hers that she had collected and thinking "Why haven't I tried this genre of modelling before?!" You can ALWAYS count on Alley to think out of the box and for inspiration! And if she isn't collecting it- she is designing it and making it!

Tony was amazing to work with- I absolutely LOVED the results we achieved together that day and can't wait to see the edits!! They looked amazing on the back of the camera and in selections!

As an amazing bonus "Pip the Gentlemen!" was also visiting the studio over the period I was there- and popped in the studio! I just had to grab him for a few shots! Pip was amazing and Tony was super kind and spontaneous to welcome Pip also into the shoot. I loved the duo shots we did together- its not often I get to work with a male model and with such contrasting looks it really worked!

Alley was an absoltely perfect host and really helped to make Pips stay a very memorable one!

I have since worked at Alleys amazing studio with my other half (Roger123456) and Soria (amazing aeralist and model on PP) one evening and she was immensely kind to use her studio for our portfolio whilst she hosted another model (Areti) during the day and applied her makeup.

I cannot fault Alley, she is abslutely flawless and one of the most selfless people you will meet. We have lots of projects organised coming up for the rest of this year and 2018- and I can't wait!

Always a top recommendation from me, thanks for everything!

Tony Browne

I can safely say that studio owner Alley is one of the friendliest and welcoming people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. She goes out of her way to make both photographer and model feel at home, she's the ideal studio host.

This was my second visit to Pozers studio. Both were successful, productive and a heartwarming experiences. I am very grateful to Alley for that.

I have no hesitation in giving Pozers a top recommendation !

Thank you Alley !

First time at PoZers. First off this pleasant rural located studio is easy to find and parking is good.

Owner Alley is the perfect host and is on hand to help where and when required to set up and adjust lights, backdrops etc.

Excellent service also with cups of tea and refreshments. I don't recall that I've ever to been to another studio where this is all on hand throughout the time you are there, so this is brilliant :)

Coped well with hosting our rather more unconventional shoots with theatrical magic illusion props.

Our time shooting there was definitely an enjoyable experience and hoping that our travels will allow us to return there for shoots in the future.

Pozers comes highly recommended by me and I hope it's not the last time I shoot there. Alley was a massive help and lent us material props and outfits as well as constantly being on hand for help with anything we needed. Those cups of tea went down a treat as well ;-). Thanks for all your help today Alley it really was a pleasure to be able to use your studio.

Elle Beth

Another great weekend at Pozers! Alley is an extremely hard worker and always make sure both the photographer and model or any one who is there is happy, well fed and is having a great time creating photos.

Alley's pre communication is always spot on so you always know exactly how the day is going to be.

Im looking forward to my next shoot there in February and can always truly recommend this studio and the owner!

Alley is making Pozers the place to go, she always has new studio days and amazing ideas planned.

I came to Pozers for a studio day with Elle Beth and have to say it was brilliant, Alley took care of me and the model and the studio was clean and tidy.

Alley has put her heart and soul into the business and studio and with out doubt I CAN RECOMMEND it 100%

Elle Beth

As always Alley runs a fabulous studio, well organised, professional and enjoyment for all clients is always at the top of Alleys priorities.

Ive worked at Pozers many times throughout the years and im always happy to know im heading there for a shoot.

Highly Recommended for photographers and models looking for a studio or workshops.

I make no apology for posting yet another reference for Pozers and the effervescent Alley Stallard.

Alley's kindness and professionalism abound and are exceeded only by her personal charms. Always on hand to give help, especially for an old codger like me, and the refreshments keep flowing the whole time.

Ditto to that what I said after my previous visit.

Highly recommended.

Thank you, Alley, you are magic.

Easy to find.

Alley was very accommodating, lots of clothes and accessories to choose from.

Studio was warm, well presented and Alley was there throughout the 4 hour shoot offering drinks and making sure everything was running smoothly. She was a real asset to the shoot and it was a lovely environment to work in.

Had my first shoot with Alley on Saturday and I'm still buzzing days later! Booked to do a makeup course and shoot, the tutition was first class with lots of recommendations and tips, then the shoot went really well. Alley provided lunch and drinks and couldn't do enough for me really! Did some sets in my outfits and then delved into her closets - some right gems in there! Waiting to see the final edits but already know they're going to be amazing. Thanks Alley - look forward to working with you in the future (hopefully sooner than later) x

I recently spent a week at a Country House Hotel in Cricklade and enjoyed three magnificent shoots at PoZers Studio. This week I went back again for yet another shoot this time with the lovely Helen Diaz.

Allison (Alley) Stallard is one of the world’s kindest people one could ever wish to meet. Alley’s generosity is exceeded only by her personal charms, and let us not forget that Alley is a formidable make-up artist to boot.

PoZers Studio is equipped with a wardrobe that would but MGM to shame and this is being added to as we speak.

This time Alley laid on a truly splendid lunch for Helen and me, which of course made the day even more memorable.

If you have not had the pure joy of working at PoZers, I recommend you put this straight and get a booking ASAP. An experience you will never forget.

One again Alley, my honeybun, thank you.

I so wish I had written this reference sooner. A couple of days ago I attended a Pozers workshop organised and led by the lovely Alley, owner of the Pozers studio. I now find myself following other attendees who posted their highly positive references more promptly, and am struggling to find something to say that has not already been said by them.

My experience of the workshop could not have been better: Alley's communications ahead of the day were prompt and thorough, the joining instructions clear and accurate; her welcome to us as we arrived was warm and sincere and she took great care throughout the day to ensure that we were fully cared for, regularly offering drinks and food whilst also setting lights and props and explaining the intricacies of the various techniques being demonstrated. The lighting sets were varied and had been well designed.

Pozers is a superb studio with a huge variety of props, costumes, backgrounds and lighting equipment, and Alley's assistance is always readily available.

I heartily recommend the studio.

Thank you, Alley.

OMG Alley, your reference made me cry. I don't know that I have ever been acknowledged with so much loving kindness and warm-hearted generosity. And that's how you were to me and all the other gentlemen throughout our time together. The day was extraordinary, exhilarating and enthralling for this first ever shoot Virgin - if I can use that time honoured phrase in this context. Alley, you filled me with confidence from the get go; I felt as though I was in very special hands! I still do. And Pozers has raced into my heart. I don't know how it happened but it has already become my 'medium of photography' spiritual home. It was a perfect experience that I will never forget. Literally a place where I fell in love with photography. The day unfolded and I went from one state of bliss to the next. The workshop was so very special for me - like falling into a dream in which my life finally made sense. I was so happy after shooting the first group of postures and lighting set up that my eyes welled up. I felt like I was discovering something for the first time - like falling in love. And everything was funny and serious at the same time. Each set up inspired me; all your ideas and ways of being connected me to the model. I couldn't have asked for anything more. The lighting was so beautifully designed that I fell into a kind of reverie - as if the shots were taking care of themselves and that my modest camera was taking me on a stellar adventure; a mystical, magical and cosmic journey to a land from which happiness flows. And oh the joy of shooting Helen Diaz. The way you created a platform in which she could excel - and boy does she excel as an exceptionally talented model and wonderful human being - was a lesson in how to put on a workshop like its the best party I've ever attended. And the food was perfect too. What now? Of course I'll be back to Pozers for some more and to see you again. Why wouldn't I? You fill me with the confidence to fulfil my potential as a photographer. But if I were to never ever take another photograph I would just be so happy - so contented - that I have had this life enhancing experience. I'm fulfilled. I'm hooked. Can't wait to come back. Love you Alley. It was all so utterly, incredibly perfect. And funny 😀❤️💋

I worked with the amazing Alley at Pozers again recently on an Art Nude Workshop and had an absolute BLAST!!

Alley was extremely well organised, is an AMAZING Events organiser and hostess and conducted, advertised and sold the whole event herself, which I am so extremely greatful for! She had 7 fantastic photographers there on the day, along with a gorgeous delicious buffet and drinks which she had lovingly prepared especialley for the day.

She was the perfect hostess in every way, making sure everyone was happy and comfortable and felt well included in the group session no matter what their experience or confidence level. I love how Alley can instantly build a rapport with anyone- She is an absolute diamond and someone everyone can learn from, whether they are a model, photographer, stylist or makeup artist.

Her skills are so diverse and extraordinary, you know you are in good hands as soon as you step through the studio door and receive a very warm welcome.

I loved Alleys presentation skills to the group which were confident, well thoughout out and flawless- but equally down to earth, informative and very user friendly.

We had several lighting sets up and backdrop changes during the course of the day and many variations of art nude with plenty of small breaks in between setting up which I really appreciated.

During the course of the day I felt extremely welcome, appreciated, well cared for and respected. The group were an absolute fantastic bunch and I would love to work with each individual again.

Alleys hosting is absolutely flawless- she really would be one of the very first people (if not THE first) that I would contact if I was to organise an event in the future- Shes first class and one of a kind. Working together many times she is also a very dear friend of mine.

Thankyou so much Alley for your amazing hospitality and see you again very soon! Helen xx

Attended a fine art nude workshop at Pozersstudio, run by the studio owner, Alley. The concise version is 'Don't hesitate to book' should a future workshop be posted. Alley ensures these are enrichment events; knowledge share and support, opportunities to get involved and work with highly experienced and credited models (for this one it was the amazing Helen Diaz) and provides support throughout the day and even after the event is over. Simply put, you are in safe hands, a great opportunity to creative and be supported. Thank you Alley, you know I'll be back :)

I went to Pozers studio on one of their workshop days and I did my first fine art nude shoot, in fact it was my first nude shoot of any kind.

Alley the studio owner is a lovely lovely lady who goes out of her way to make sure you feel comfortable and your needs are catered for, be it food, drinks or advice.

Alley worked hard at the event making sure the lighting was correct, always on hand if any technical questions or issues arose. She provided us with the exceptional Helen Diaz as our model, such a treat indeed.

The studio itself is well stocked with backdrops of a multitude of colours,and props that any film company would be proud of. There are more lights there than the high street of the town I live in. The facilities are excellent, good access and good parking, and cups of tea of every known variety to man, but only 2 brands of coffee.

A massive bonus is that Alley is always on hand so there is no need for models to bring a shaperone as she acts as a safeguard for everyone.

Would I recommend the studio? Definitely, in fact I'm going back for more.

Would I recommend Alley? Most Deinitely, you couldn't ask for a harder working more caring host.

Here's another long overdue reference. As I went looking for a studio and makeup artist for a bodypaint shoot, Alley and her studio was introduced to me by Helen. The very first communication I had with Alley was so positive, that no wonder the shoot turned out to be amazing. Right from her first communicating with costume and concept explained in such minute details, we went on to create some amazing images. I was really impressed with her pre shoot communication which I find is Alley's biggest plus. Right from design details, to looking up the trains for me, receiving me at the station, setting up the studio and dropping me off to the station, I will always be grateful to Alley for such warmth and help. I will definitely looking to work with her and in her studio more and more. A very BIG thank you Alley!!!

Helen Diaz

I shot with the amazing Alley and photographer "Senart" recently at Alleys fantastic studio in Swindon on a full day shoot recently and had such a great time!!

The first half of the day was amixture of fashion to art nudes using the light setting Alley and Senart carefully put together and a mixture of colour gels. The second half of the day was bodypainting and I was blown away by Alleys impressive bodypainting and styling skills!

The bodypaint was so comfortable on my skin, such a colour teal colour and so effective! Alley is amazing at styling and gives great artistic direction if you need it- her props and head pieces are stunning works of art which take her many days to complete- so to use them on a shoot is always a real treat! Alley is extremely generous with sharing these if as a photographer or model you ever need these for a shoot!

I absolutely loved the "Octopus design" Alley created and together with Alleys brilliant photography direction and trade secrets, we all achieved some absolutely stunning shots! It was our first time working together as a small group and I had such a fabulous day!

Alley was always on hand to offer cups of tea, refreshments and making sure I was warm and comfortable. She is a complete diamond and if you get the chance to work with Alley you should! Her studio has everything you could possibly need as a photgrapher or model. Super highly recommmended and here is to the next shoot which is very soon!
