My first visit to PoZers and I look forward to spending more time there. I attended a very enjoyable workshop at PoZers working with Elle Beth with assistance from Alley, the studio owner.

The studio is well-equipped, the atmosphere was friendly, relaxed and everything I needed was on hand.

To say that Alley was welcoming would be an understatement. Her pre-event comms and transport assistance were great. Alley is passionate about creativity and it showed throughout the event and in conversations we had throughout the shoot. A peek inside PoZers' treasure trove of costumes and props tells you everything you need to know about the care, attention to detail and creativity that clearly goes into the studio - and leads to the high quality output that's possible at PoZers.

A fabulous shoot was rounded off by a lift from Alley back to the station in Swindon, taking her out of her way home after a long day. I'm sure Alley thinks that is just normal service - but it was beyond what I expected and very much appreciated.

My second shoot at PoZers and Alley was as helpful and supportive as before. My concept involved emptying most of her props store into the studio, which didn't faze her at all (we did help to tidy up afterwards!) She completely understood what I was trying to do and added some ideas of her own too. Add to that her lighting expertise and warm friendly manner - what more could you want? Thoroughly recommended, this won't be my last trip to PoZers.

Where do I start with PozersStudio? It's frankly awesome. I completed a three hour shoot as a part of a studio day hosted by Alley from PozersStudio. From entering the studio and receiving a warm greeting and cuppa, through to assistance with wardrobe, styling and lighting, Alley is gold. The studio has all of the modern kit you need, from multiple backdrops through to a contemporary lighting system. But what makes it stand out is Alley. As a costume designer and proficient HMUA herself, Alley has accumulated what can only be described as an Aladdin's cave of treasures...including outfits, accessories and an assortment of props. PozersStudio is not a place to go and take standard photos - it's a place to go to take your photography to the next level and be as creative as you can. This is a studio that should be on any photographer's list visiting the South West. 5*.

I had a shoot with a photogragher at Pozers Studio. I was greeted by Ally early since I was early and straight away I felt at ease!

Ally is kind and knowledgeable and it is a great studio, with backdrops and lightning set up by Ally.

Ally also did my make up to a professional level and arrange my hair into different styles.

I have seen some of Ally's work and think she is a very talented lady and hope to one day be her model to!

So nice to meet you. Highly recommended. :)

Had a great session with Joey21 (also on PP) today. Alley's work on make up on the model made the shoot and enabled me to get the images I wanted. Her help on props and staging was also invaluable.

I'll be back! 👍

My first shoot at PoZer's having recently moved to the area. I had read all the positive references before booking and there's not much to add. Ally was so friendly and keen to help achieve the shots I wanted. The studio is well equipped and full of really interesting props and outfits which we could rummage through. Had a brilliant time and will be back regularly from now on. Thanks Ally.

I had my very first shoot at Pozers yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Alley is a very talented lady whose sole purpose seems to be keeping the model and photographer supplied with everything they could possibly need. Ask for clothing, props or change of lighting and it's done in an instant with loads of light-hearted banter thrown in for good measure. An unique experience? - it sure was. Will I be going back again? - I sure will. Do I recommend Pozers Studio? - ABSOLUTELY!!

Attended another wonderful Pozer themed event. The owner is such a talent and willing to share her everything to ensure everyone gets the most out of the day. To share in such is simply a lasting privilege. The best choice you will ever make would be to attend a future event. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I have had about 3 shoots with Alley this year already at Pozer's, Alley is a super star!!

I feel at home at Poszer's, Alley is wonderful host, photographer, make-up artist, lighting assistant-basically she can do everything and is super lovely on top of it.

So glad to have met Alley and work at Pozer's, looking forward to more shoots at this wonderful studio.

100% recommended from me.

This is a joint reference for the fantastic shoots I have had recently at this wonderful studio over the past few months.

It has been a total pleasure to host the Pin up and Burlesque workshops at this studio. Everything was run beautifully, with a gorgeous buffet lunch provided for photographers and a fantastic atmosphere.

The last shoot was an amazing duo day with Carla Monaco and Banjo boy.

It was an absolute dream to work with Carla for the first time and I couldn't have wished to have worked in a nicer studio.

Thankyou so much Alley for all that you do in this creative industry,

I tell you what, Alley Stallard is clearly the most helpful, kind, generous and genuine person one could ever wish to meet and to be associated with her in any way is clearly an honour.

I have just had a most fabulous shoot at Pozers studio with the redoubtable Carla Monaco and Helen Diaz all put together by Alley who also laid on a magnificent buffet luncheon for us all.

Alley's generosity is exceeded only by her personal charms and she is always willing to go that extra mile to ensure one has a successful shoot.

Thank you, Alley, you are one in a million.

Another creative day at Pozers, with the wonderful Marie Jean Taylor.

Alley is always a great host and knows everything about lighting, a joy to work with.

She makes everyone feel at ease, ensuring that we all go away with great pictures.

A fun afternoon, nice people to work with and plenty of tea.

I will be back again soon.

My second session at Pozers Studio with the ever-enthusiastic owner Alley. Carla Monaco (the model for this session) greeted me with such warmth my nervousness at working with a professional model was banished within minutes of arriving. Carla and Alley worked tirelessly together to mentor me throughout the shoot. They were full of advice and encouragement. It was a great session. I learnt so much (still plenty to learn and practice). I would love to work with them both again.

Thanks again to you both for a wonderful session.

Kind Regards

Had a great first shoot at Pozers yesterday. Alley is extremely helpful and has a great set of lighting and props. Great fun. Definitely hope to shoot there again.Highly recommended.

Fantastic shoot with "Twinkle Nose" at Pozers Studio. Friendly, Fun and had me rocking with her choice of music and beautiful smile. Great sense of humour and easy to chat to Hannah needed no direction. Would love to work with Hannah again. Alley (Pozers Studio) hosted this photo shoot with coffee, biscuits and instruction on lighting. Alley could not have done more and I shall certainly return.

Thanks to you both for a brilliant session.

It's hard to put into words how grateful I am to have Alley and this studio now in my life. Not only is Alley now a really brilliant friend to me, she is beginning to feel like the mother I never had to me. A beautifully kind, warm, caring person who makes the world feel like a better place whenever she walks in the room! Alley is incredible and I am in awe of how much she does for the models and photographers when they use her studio. The lighting is always set up amazingly and Alley is always nearby to lend a hand. Not only is Alley a fabulous studio owner, she is also an excellent costume and prop maker- many of her creations can be seen in the Narnia wardrobe out back! Providing lots of tea, biscuits (and I mean a lot of biscuits as I tend to eat the whole jar...) and copious amounts of laughter, Alley makes the best host- there is no other studio in Swindon I would rather go to! Perhaps this may seem bias as I am now an in house model for PoZers (something which took me by surprise and flattered me greatly), or perhaps you will have to see for yourself. But I guarantee you one thing, you will never meet such a caring and wonderful person- let alone studio owner. I should also mention that Alley is an amazingly creative photographer and makeup artist too, with model safety at the top of her priorities at all times!! I 100000000000% recommend the PoZers experience to anybody- in fact I frequently tell photographers I work with too :)

Thanks as always for having me Alley, always looking forward to coming back again!

Had another wonderful day at Pozers today. Alley is a joy to work with and as always as helpful as could possibly be with copious amounts of coffee provided.

Also, used Alley's skill as a make-up artist for the first time today. As with everything she does she was brilliant yet again. Great work and exactly what I was looking for. I simply gave Alley some images and asked that we made something in a similar style and certainly not a copy. She came through expertly. A very talented lady.

I will be back again soon.....

Just got back from a shoot at PoZeRs with Twinkle Nose. As always great fun. Alley makes me reallly lazy setting up all the lights for me and keeping the coffee flowing continuously. Her prop and costume store is amazing and Hannah and I used it to great effect.

Highly recommended. Will be back soon.

I had another amazing shoot with Alley at Pozers, my first of the year, this time with TwinkleNose. Once again Alley was lovely and took great care of me, always helping with ideas and bringing out amazing props and outfits, setting up lights and generally running round looking after me and making sure we had a good shoot.

Absolutely fantastic, I always have a blast shooting at Pozers I would recommend shooting here to absolutely everybody!

Had my first shoot at Pozers today (with David Bailey) and can't believe I hadn't been there sooner! Alley is so warm, dedicated, hardworking and a joy to be around - the whole place is a haven to her colourful personality and wonderful creativity. She was very hands on with the lighting as she knows her stuff, so was very helpful to have during our shoot, and seeing as this studio is only an hour's drive from my house, I very much hope to be there more in future. Great selection of teas. An enormous collection of clothing/props which I didn't have the time to properly look through or delve into, but looked amazing! It's a fairly compact space, but plenty big enough for good quality work and full of positivity. I'm adding it to my list of recommended studios. Thanks Alley!
