Just had another fantastic shoot at PoZers studio, this time at Elle Beth's studio day.

Alley was great, as always, creating a really friendly and relaxed atmosphere in which to shoot and providing all the necessary help required with lighting.

The studio is a veritable Aladdin's cave of original outfits, accessories and props and the range of possibilities for shoots is virtually limitless.

Definitely very highly recommended and I will certainly be back for future shoots.

Alley is a great host, abundant tea and coffee and a superb buffet lunch. Like all those before me Pozers is a great studio to work in. Need I say more. Oh yes and the colour block day on 12 July was great to.

Another great shoot at posers, this time with ElleBeth.

Alley makes everyone feel welcome, tea on tap.

Posers is a very friendly run studio, Alley makes certain of that.

I always find it a joy going there.

No doubt I will be back again.

10 out of 10.

I had another wonderful shoot at Pozers with Seren Wise.

Alley is always a great host and a complete joy to work with.

She shows great respect to both model and photographer.

Alleys love of photography shines through.

She is great with the lighting and I always come away with nice pictures.

Added to that she is a nice person.

Highly recommended.

I will be back at Pozers again.

I visited PoZers Studio for the first time and I cannot highlight how welcoming Alley is.

Alley has loads of props and costumes in her studio and is a qualified makeup artist too, with top quality products.

Alley herself is so friendly, chatty and her bubbly personality is infectious.

I felt so comfortable working in Alley's studio. I highly recommend, and thank you for a great day :)

Once more into the breach as they say.

Yesterday, despite the dreadful weather I was, yet again, able to sample the superb hospitality of Alley Stallard at PoZers studio in the mediaeval town of Cricklade in Wiltshire.

Alley is a one-off. They don’t make the likes of her anymore.

This boutique studio, in the heart of the English countryside, is a joy to behold and I thoroughly recommend every tog to try it.

Apart from supplying a copious amount of refreshment, Alley is always on hand to set up different forms of lighting and backdrops, working tirelessly to ensure a very successful shoot which is enjoyed by photographers and models alike.

In addition, Alley Stallard is a renowned and talented MUA and her studio is also equipped with a massive amount of wardrobe items and jewellery.

Thank you again, Alley. It is always a delight to be able to visit PoZers.

I had my first ever studio weekend at PoZers and had an amazing time! The studio is a brilliant space with props, lights, costumes and backgrounds galore, and is the perfect place for all manner of shoots and themes.

Alley was a wonderful host, from picking me up at the train station, letting me stay in her lovely home, giving me lifts in her car and helping me getting the bookings, nothing is too much trouble! I got to shoot with some great photographers this weekend and I certainly hope to be organising more shoots and events at PoZers in future.

I can 100% recommend Alley and her studio to both models and photographers alike, she offers an incredible service tailored to your specific needs, and there's nowhere else like it!

Thanks again Alley for a fabulous weekend! :)

If I pictured the perfect studio PoZers Studio would be pretty close: a place you instantly feel at home, an endless supply of tea and biscuits, a room full of dress ups that made the inner kid in me squeal with delight and best of all Alley. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable and talented when it comes to lighting and the industry in general she is simply a beautiful human, one of those people you might only meet once but will never forget. Alley generously had me to stay for two nights, picking me up from the station, driving me to the shops and anywhere else I needed, she made sure I was always feeling safe and comfortable. She really does go above and beyond both for the models and the photographers who step into her studio. I honestly could not have had a better welcome into the UK modelling community! Thank you so much Alley, I'm sure I'll be dancing around your studio again at some pointe! (Pun intended) Xx

My second shoot at PoZers, again with the stunning Helen Diaz. PoZers is well-equipped and fun to work in. Alley produced a great range of backdrops, original and of very high quality. Plenty of lighting possibilities, and Alley works hard to make sure that everything is functioning and that the lighting is perfect, responding quickly when I asked to make small changes. The result was an excellent set of images.

And Alley plied everyone with tea and coffee all day, as well as providing an excellent lunch and, later, cakes! She is dedicated to creating a good experience for both model and photographer, and creates a great fun atmosphere in which to work. I certainly recommend this studio, which is easy to find by satnav and has plenty of parking space right outside the door.

Helen Diaz

Another two fantastic Pin up & Burlesque days at the wonderful Pozers studio! Alley is the ultimate host, is kind, attentive, caring and always aiming for perfection for her photography clients. Everyone that comes through Pozers doors are treated to the best hospitality, warmth and creative passion.

We created some absolutely stunning images on the day with Alleys sensational designer backdrop, which photographers from the event were very kind to share with us. Please keep an eye out for these on our portfolios soon! :)

I love working at Pozers, it is my number one destination to host workshops and events. I always come away smiling!

Thankyou so much Alley and here is to the next! Adverts to follow soon!

This was my first visit to Pozers Studio in Swindon, surprisingly my Sat Nav took me almost to the front door rather than tbe general area. Ally was already there and she showed me the studio, changing area and the props she has gathered over time. Ally is a dun lady and chsts to put people at ease, supplied coffee all day and I even had a Foredt Fruits Infusion, a mid day meal had been laid on as well, very enjoyable. The different back drols, props she has will suit 99.9% of all shoots and a nicely relaxed and laid back feeling to the shoot, on hand to suit any issues that occurred, very much aware of health and safety and potential hazards, not that we had any. I wil definately return here for a photoshoot, when I have thought up a themed idea. Thank you Ally for a very enjoyable and relaxed day.

This is my second time at PoZers and won’t be the last I’m sure - especially as I only live ten minutes down the road now :)

Alley is a force of nature... welcoming, friendly, gregarious, setting up lights left right and centre... blink and you’ll miss it. Alley is what makes this studio, it wouldn’t be the same without her!

The space is well equipped and wonderfully clean, tea and coffee on tap and of course plenty of wonderful conversation.

Recommended without hesitation!

I’ve left many a reference for Alley. Some universities use these short essays on their creative writing courses to demonstrate how poor grammar, bad punctuation and a lack of ability in expressing the simplest idea will earn you a fail.

Lord knows I pulled out all the stops on the last ref for her! Some of it is actually readable. And just as an aside I’d like to mention that she’s still valeting my car and doing my shopping on a Saturday because of how moved she was by it. Moved! That doesn’t cover it. She wept like a baby and I had to go round to Pozers and give her a big hug. Still, that was easy ... it was on the way to where I was going (Alley is always on the way to where I’m going lol) ... I was going to a big crap game and I felt like giving my best friend some love. Alley is very huggable in the extreme. I realise that I like writing her name in this reference rather than using the pronoun: She. Although Alley may be the face I can't forget, the trace of pleasure or regret, may be my treasure or the price I have to pay, may be the song that summer sings, maybe the chill that autumn brings, maybe a hundred different things within the measure of a day. Although Alley may be the beauty or the beast, may be the famine or the feast, may turn each day into a Heaven or a Hell. Although Alley may be the mirror of my dreams, a smile reflected in a stream, may not be what she may seem inside her shell. Although Alley, who always seems so happy in a crowd, whose eyes can be so private and so proud no one's allowed to see them when they cry, may be the love that cannot hope to last, may come to me from shadows in the past that I remember 'till the day I die. Although Alley maybe the reason I survive, the why and wherefore I'm alive, the one I'd like to care for through the rough in many years. Although Alley is the meaning of my life, is

the reason I’m a photographer, I still don’t see her that often; she’s always working so damn hard. She’s always in such demand by photographers and models alike. Not that they are very alike! If only Alley didn’t have to work, didn’t have to earn her crust like the rest of us navvies ... then I’d have her and all her skills to myself. I would take her everywhere I went (even though it can feet quite cramped in the men’s room lol) ... and I would be photographing all the time. She’s be there, and not lugging lights, making the tea, serving out the sandwiches (we’d get someone else to do that ‘cos we would have just won the lottery) but as the perfect creative collaborator. Just have a look at her events if you want to check out that dimension of her personality. Alley exudes creativity. If you cut her open (and please don’t because I want her around for the rest of this life and certainly the next), that’s what you’d mainly find inside, alongside the heaps of love, the array of exceptional talents, and the great wealth of experience. You probably realise by now that I’m recommending Alley and Pozers to you in this reference. If you haven’t worked with her yet, or haven’t worked with her recently, what are you doing?!?! Don’t hesitate ... apply, apply to one of her events or castings. You can’t miss them ... they’re nearly as long as this reference. But hurry now, she may not be able to work for you in the future. She may have finally won the lottery ... and ironically enough that’s what I won when I first met Alley.

The Metamorphosis of Marie Jean Taylor.

The indefatigable and effervescent Alley was our host for today's studio event a fabulous gender fluid theme for this shoot at Pozers Studio in Swindon. Marie was an absolute star and witnessing Alley as she worked her magic transforming Marie from a beautiful 1920's female into a male was mind-blowing. Had I not been there to witness the transformation I would never have believed the "female" and "male" were one and the same person. Even now looking at the photos it is difficult to believe that the male and female are indeed the one and only fantastic Marie Jean Taylor.

Thank you both for a great day and in the words of Arnie "I'll be back"

Kind Regards

PoZers Studio, ran by the incomparable Alley, is truly a studio like no other. It boasts a selection of props/costume/staging like no other, in fact I have officially named the storage area Narnia! I tend to travel with a hefty range of outfits and accessories, but being able to suggest a crazy idea on the day and then have Alley magically pull out the perfect prop to compliment it was just fantastic, and overall a great boost to the creative vibe of the whole studio. Alley herself is an absolute force of nature, she is a deeply caring, passionate soul and her dedication to the studio, her clients, and each and every model that steps foot through her doors cannot be denied. Would recommend, and I am already looking forward to the next time!

Had an excellent shoot organised by Alley yesterday. Well organised with an amazing model and very different subject. Highly recommended.

Another fun shoot today with Jessica Taylor.

Alley is a wonderful host, and nothing is too much trouble.

Posers is a great studio, with everything a photographer can want.

I always look forward to going there, great to meet other people, like Alley who is passionate about photography.

I was able to get some really nice images, and look forward to going back next month.

Highly recommended.

@dcphotodc

Really enjoyed my first shoot at Pozers. Alley could not have been more helpful, setting up lighting and staging, advising on camera settings, and listening and setting up what I'd hoped to achieve. She also quickly fixed a problem with the flash triggering from my camera.

I'm delighted with the results from this shoot, also my first with the lovely Elle Beth and I've already booked my next session at this super studio. Highly recommended.
