I have just spent a week at a Country House Hotel in Wiltshire and had the joy of shooting for four days on the trot at PoZers Studio, owned and managed by the ever delightful and lovely Allyson (Alley) Stallard.

Alley is the most wonderful studio owner one could ever wish to meet. Having organised casting calls and securing the services of four absolutely perfect models, Alley was on hand at all times to give help, assistance and lashings of refreshments, let alone organising transport to and from the station. That is service with a capital “S”. Furthermore the studio has a collection of costumes that must be the envy of every studio in the country

Alley worked tirelessly to ensure that my “Cricklade Jaunt” was a success and wow, it was indeed.

Thank you Alley, you’re a star and I can’t wait to come again, indeed I am already talking to one of your favourite models, (Miss Helen Diaz) to get something organised.

Needless to say folks PoZers Studio is recommended by me to you all.

I had another amazing shoot at Pozers Studio! Before the shoot I did a make up course with Alley, because I really needed some help with make up as I'm rubbish lol! Alley is such an amazing and enthusiastic teacher especially when it comes to make up. I really loved the course and learnt so much I would recommend it to anyone!

The shoot with banjo boy (photographer) at the studio was also amazing! Alley runs about tirelessly looking after her clients all day, helping with lights, costumes props, make up, tea and biscuits! She also looks after everyone so well always ensuring that everyone has the most enjoyable experience as possible!

Thanks Alley it was awesome, can't wait to come back again xxx

Wow! Not that Alley needs my reference, but OMG wow!

Legendary lady, I was very happy to meet the wonderful creative artist that is the Pink Lady and see some of her costumes at the studio...wowww....

Everything that has been said is true... she truly takes it to another level for her clients, she really gives so much, and I'm going to be having words with her because quite frankly she's not charging enough for all she does!

I can definitely recommend Pozers to my clients with total confidence, I wish she was local to me, and I'm so glad I made the trip x

Second time at Pozers for my studio weekend and safe to say it will definately not be my last :) Alley, the studio owner is brilliant and very hospitable. I can't thank her enough for hosting me and helping me organise the studio weekend with lovely photographers. Her studio is super creative and there is always props and costumes to shoot with. We even got a chance to shoot together with different lighting set ups and the images I have seen back of camera are lovely. This studio is highly recommended and is brilliant for models and photographers of all levels. Hopefully I will be back soon :)

I had another amazing evening modelling for a bodyscapes workshop hosted by Pozers Studio! Alley definitely knows her stuff when it comes to lighting and she was on hand the whole time to assist photographers with their shots. As said previously, this phenomenal lady puts full effort into giving everyone a fab experience at her studio (although it seems like she does it effortlessly) and it definitely paid off as I can say with certainty that this was another successful workshop.

As a model, Alley made me feel utterly comfortable and safe which made modelling naked in front of a group of strangers a lot less daunting!! She got the balance between teaching techniques and allowing the photographers time to shoot just right and the evening flowed nicely.

If I could work with Alley all day everyday then I would! I love her lust for creativity and energy and she never disappoints! As always, completely recommended by me!

I attended my first workshop at Pozers this week. Alley started by giving us a good overview of what we were trying to achieve before we dived into the practical part of the evening. She kept things moving along at a good pace and I was very happy with the advice given and the time allocated to actually shooting. She also kept us supplied with all the tea and cake we could eat which always helps. I would happily attend another workshop with Alley and would recommend it. A great evening.

I attended a bodyscapes workshop at PoZers Studio in Cricklade, and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Being new to this, I had some questions before the event, which Alley answered in detail.

The evening was relaxed but productive, with an experienced model (Tyra Storm) and number of lighting setups to try.

Once all the attendees had tried each setup, there was a less structured time to try out individual ideas.

I came away with some images I'm pleased with, and a lot of ideas for next time.

Alley later provided a number of reference documents to read at leisure.

I am so pleased to have had the opportunity to collaborate with Alley at one of her workshops.

This was my first time visiting the studio, and as I'd not worked with either of these two lovely creatives before, I was somewhat anxious!

Alley was such a support to the overall running of the day, a fantastic host who made sure everyone was happy and comfortable, providing rerefreshments throughout the whole evening.

Thank you Alley and I hope to get the opportunity to work with you again. If I ever need a studio and my fill of biscuits and tea, I know where to book.

I attended a lighting workshop hosted by the amazing Alley at her studio - what a great evening! This was probably one of the best planned and well constructed events that I've been to and gave me loads of ideas for future work. The great thing about Alley is that she's not only a lovely person who puts her heart and soul into her work, but she's also a great MUA, costume designer and photographer to boot, so if you're looking for a brilliantly creative person to work with on a project then look no further. The studio's facilities are great - good mix of lights and modifiers with 2 good-size spaces to work in and more props that Proppy McProp from Propton. 10/10 from me.

I have modelled many times at Pozers Studio and always thoroughly enjoyed myself while there so when the opportunity arose to model for Alley's art nude workshop, I took it instantly!

Well, what can I say about this woman? Alley is a very unique and creative individual who is already reknowned in the local area for her costume design and makeup artistry but recently she has extended this creativity to photography as well and has produced some stunning images.

On the workshop, Alley arrived hours early to prepare the studio and workshop. When photographers arrived she became the hostess with the mostess, offering refreshments and even cake! She then gave a detailed and clear explanation about lighting techniques which was understood by all before setting up many different lighting setups for photographers to shoot. She was amazing, constantly making sure everyone was alright.

Another plus for Alley is that she is always happy to show the model back of camera shots so that I was able to to check my pose. I cannot praise this lady enough! She is friendly, hardworking (never mind 100%, this lady puts in 1000% effort into everything she does), brimming with creativity and talented! If you're a model then I fully recommend shooting with her and if you're a photographer then definitely book a future workshop with Pozers, you don't know what you're missing if you don't!!

I feel as if I should be leaving two references: one for the studio itself and one for its fantastic owner, MUA and now official photographer, Alley! But as I'm not sure I'm allowed to do that, I'll try my very best to showcase every positive element at working at PoZers Studio!

I was fortunate enough to have met Alley when I was booked out to shoot at PoZers with another photographer and have worked with her a few times since, though this was my first experience of her as a photographer. Since first meeting Alley as the super talented make-up artist and studio owner, she has since decided to branch out into photography itself and I was over the moon when she asked my partner and I to come along to PoZers for a bit of horror fun (we both love the genre!).

Alley is nothing short of being one of the most creative, talented, caring and hilarious people I've ever met! A real character, Alley holds model safety as priority number one and is always doing whatever she can to make sure that whether you're a model, photographer, chaperone, MUA or anyone else, that you're comfortable, happy and safe. She's a wonderful host and the studio is always full of snacks, inspiring snapshots, cups of tea and music (mostly alternative, which is even better!) to create a really homely, friendly atmosphere where you feel instantly welcome. Alley's collection of (nearly all handmade) props and costumes would put most costume shops to shame and there's no end of creative potential to be sourced from her back room of treasures! As Alley is also an unbelievably talented MUA as well, she's more than well equipped with what can only be described as suitcases full of different products, colours and interesting bits of makeup and special effects kit that to someone like me (with a limited understanding of makeup at best), is all but mind blowing!

I wanted to leave Alley's photographic skills til last as although she's still relatively new to being behind the camera, the way she works you'd have thought she's been doing it for decades now! And given that she won an FPI within only a few weeks of taking up photography, I'm not exaggerating either! Alley is an absolute joy to work with! After you've been totally transformed by her styling and make up skills, she'll have you laughing your ribs out of place once you get to shooting (she has a bloody brilliant, sick sense of humour that I just love). She knows exactly what story she's trying to convey but Alley is nothing if not a true creative and so, encourages plenty of creative freedom and posing from her models as well as making sure that the main goal of the shoot is met: that everyone has fun.

Having roped my poor (mostly camera shy) partner into being a killer clown for us, I was expecting him to look a little uncomfortable during the shoot but imagine my surprise when not only did he start adding in his own ideas and poses but was actually laughing and enjoying himself too! Alley really has a way of bringing out the best in people as she's so down to earth, easy to talk to, kind, considerate and above all, absolutely bloody hilarious! Throughout the shoot, she asked if we were all comfortable and happy with what we were doing, as well as showing us the images as they were shot (some right laughs given the subject matter!). Her use of lighting really helped to create some brilliantly atmospheric, storytelling images and I can't wait to see the final images!

Alley has worked so damn hard to bring PoZers up from nothing and it truly shows! Ladies and gentlemen, whether you're models, MUA's or photographers, you need to book a slot at PoZers! Whether you shoot with Alley or just need use of her beautifully vibrant space, I promise you'll go away with a great big smile and full of excitement at seeing the final images. I have an awful lot of respect for this incredibly talented, sweet and wonderful lady and given her other incredible pursuits in the past, I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that given time, she'll be one of the best photographers on PP! So please go support this amazing lady and book a slot at PoZers - you won't regret it! ;)

And thank you so so much for such an unbelievably fun shoot, Alley! As always I went away with a massive smile and a headache from laughing so much! Thanks for also bringing Paul out of his shell - I think he made one bloody fab killer clown and seeing the smile on his face after we left just made my whole day! Can't wait to see the shots. Keep up the amazing work, gorgeous!

Loved shooting at Pozers and meeting Alley last Friday on my model studio day. It's such a great space and fun studio. Will definately come back down again soon one weekend and hopefully get super creative with all the props and Alley's makeup skills.

Would 100% recommend to any creative. Thanks again to Alley for hosting me ♥

I had the delight of working at Pozers studio this morning and loved the intimate and creative atmosphere. Ally is a delight - very friendly and a tad wacky,but right on cue with the coffee and cooling fans! Seriously, Ally has a lovely little studio in a beautiful setting, with good lighting and huge does of enthusiasm.

Pozers Studio is located in a delightful working farm setting in Wiltshire. Ally has a big personality which is beautifully reflected in the studio itself and the hundreds of props. Doing an art nude shoot with two women turned out to be so much fun. Ally said she had not expected to be spending time trying to balance various ladies' shoes on a man's bare bum that day. Look forward to working there again soon.

I had my first shoot at Powers with Alley last week. Fabulous communication and everything was put in place.

Parking is available on site and all the cups of tea you need.

Alley did my makeup, which was fab and took the images. She gave great direction and it resulted with some amazing images!

I was able to use a fantastic metal creative headpiece and it added to the look of the shoot perfectly. In fact nothing is to difficult for Alley at Pozers as she works tirelessly to get the best shoot possible.

Many more shoots planned and I can't wait.

The welcome and attention I received at PoZers Studio, this week was tremendous. Ally has the precise top drawer customer service one could hope for, coffee, chat, and brilliant photographic knowledge and skills to impress the likes of Rankin or Annie Leibovitz, and she does everything with such effortless ease. Add in 'the best gofar' and all will be complete, expressing the need for a spot light and Ally's there with the very thing pointing in the right direction within seconds. My first enjoyable foray at PoZers will not be my last. The very best studio I've worked in, thank you Ally.

Alley kindly invited me back for another model day, and as ever she was a wonderful host and looked after me really well :) She keeps the place nice and warm, provides never ending supplies of coffee and is always on hand to help me and photographers out. And with her Pink Lady hat on, also did my hair and makeup! As ever, very highly recommended by me, thanks Alley! :) x
