Alley organised another studio day for me, taking on all the arrangements herself so that I had nothing to worry about. As usual she didn’t so much as sit down because she was so busy taking on all of the lighting, making sure everybody had a drink and chatting away. She is the best company ever! So full of bubbles and her passion for her work is something I’ve never seen before. She absolutely loves her studio and is the most caring lovely person you could hope to meet. I always love shooting there, we have so much fun and talk about everything and anything. She is amazing with lighting and camera settings so that new photographers don’t have to panic because she does everything she can to help. Cup of teas were always flowing and she made sure I was cool enough with a fan on me. Nothing is ever too much trouble...the rarest quality I have ever seen in anyone. If you’re apart of this ladies life then you’re blessed. Thank you so much Alley and see you soon x Claire Topaz

Another session at PoZers for a shoot with Alice Katz. As usual Alley, (PoZers' owner) works as photographer's assistant, saving time on getting lights and background in place.

But seemingly simultaneously keeping you topped up with tea & biscuits. And then helping the model with her needs as well. In this case it was abundantly clear she and Alice had got on from the outset of this their first of hopefully many studio days together.

Whatever your experience, whatever your aims, don't hesitate to book a place on one of PoZers' many studio days.

How lovely to meet and work with Alley at PoZers for the first time.

From our first communication, Alley was friendly, professional, and ever so helpful. She worked hard to promote my day and between us both we sold it out 100%! She is excellent at promotion and marketing.

Alley let me stay at her home the night before our day - I was comfortable and well looked after. Both her and her husband were so kind to me, and Alley continued to look after me throughout our long studio day, making sure I was well hydrated and comfortable.

She is so easy to get on with and really puts you at ease, a reassuring presence. Fantastic with hair and make-up, she nailed a Cabaret look for our first photographer perfectly. The studio itself is not huge, but the space is used really well and Alley is a whizz at lighting setups - each of our photographers was totally catered for.

Overall? I will be back!! Fantastic host and a lovely studio - I will be returning for a full weekend. Thank you Alley, highly recommended!!

I had my first shoot at PoZers recently,a 2 hour studio day session,but with all the props,costumes, and other goodies you could have fun there all day! I liked the efficient use of the studio space, it's not particularly big, with vinyl back drops- much better than paper. The studio owner,Alley is a lighting expert,make up expert, dress designer,set designer,and a wonderful host.New photographers will be made to feel completely at ease and confident with the guidance of Alley, experienced people have all the facilities they could need.

This shoot was on one of the hottest days of the year,but with a big fan blowing on me, and the model it was quite cool.

I will be returning to PoZers in the future,- highly recommended.

I had my first shoot at Pozers and I can say I will definitely be back there soon! Alley is just fantastic! Very professional but chatty, happy and bubbly at the same time! Studio is great, with lots of props and outfits. And Alley is just a perfect host! Nothing is too much of a problem for her. We’re already planning our next shoot! Thanks Alley and see you soon xx

I still think of myself as at the beginning of a love affair with photography - that's if I have time between the brainstorming, heart thumping planning and shooting to indulge in such a thought. At the start of love it's always a bit scary. Maybe you remember your first knee trembling, palm sweating encounters with love. And I should have been nervous and inhibited when I got the confirmation that I would be working with the brilliant and beautiful Carla Monaco. In fact I was neither scared nor something less than I wanted to be. After all the shoot was to take place at Pozers, the studio where my love of photography began. And that meant I'd also be working with an extraordinarily gifted artist; someone with a high level of skill, creativity and expertise in the fields of lighting, make-up, photography, styling and studio know how! - and maybe more importantly .... someone who really cares about the creativity that happens in her studio ... someone who is unafraid to throw ideas into the hat even when the shoot is in full flow ... someone who makes the model feel warm, safe, capable, respected and treasured ... someone who always holds your best intentions close to her heart ... someone who loves to laugh and have fun with everyone she meets ... someone who goes the extra mile for art ... someone who you can literally say anything to ... someone who engages in all aspects of your shoot... someone who loves having a cup of tea ready for you even when you didn't know you wanted one. Alley is that someone. I haven't come across many other collaborative partners with whom I have been able to establish such a great working relationship. Our friendship is pure delight, growing through the work we do together - the planning, the shooting and all the bits in between that make the images I take feel so magical ... so intimately personal ... so fulfilling. Though I experience all this with Alley, my soul sister when it comes to photography, I have seen her operate with great skill, panache and a surfeit of bonhomie with everyone who walks through the door of her studio. She loves creative people, and especially photographers and models. She wants to work with them all; drink deep from a great well of creativity.

On this shoot with Carla I wanted to involve my twelve foot dining table as part of the set. It's a pig to assemble and weighs a ton. Alley helped me carry it in from my car. And with thigh slapping banter and falling on the floor laughter - a bit like Eric Sykes and Hattie Jakes - it didn't seem nearly as heavy and preposterous an idea as when I loaded it into my car at home. Well, that tells me much of what I need to know about Alley and hopefully something of what you need to know too. You can really be yourself with her, bringing all your passion and all your crazily impractical ideas to her fabulous studio. It's a place which lends itself to the intimate pleasures of photography and the majesty of light; a home and hub of creativity; a stage for building an extraordinary rapport between model and photographer, and between client and studio owner. Pozers is Alley but she makes it yours too whilst you're working there. I look back over my shots of Carla and smile at the great time we had there together with Alley. I smile at the moments of joy and the thrill of creating together. I wonder at the gorgeous brilliance of making extraordinary friendships through this medium. I smile and I almost cry because working with Alley and the memory of such wonderful experiences at Pozers moves me and fills me up with love.

I Had fantastic studio day at Pozers Studio! Alley is such a sweetheart and True artist! This studio has 100476 props , outfits Which you would Never find in any other studios!

Alley treats her models and photographers with respect and kindness. She always picks models up from stadion and Drop them off. She looks after us all the time ,providing food and drinks Which is very nice.

I Really enjoyed my studio day!!

Overall a wonderful space that I highly recommend and would shoot here all the time if I could!

My third event at PoZers Studio. This time for an AnnaRose “Dance, Sport and Fitness lighting workshop”. Alley already makes me feel like part of the family.

Alley is full of enthusiasm and really pulls out all the stops to ensure that you achieve the best shots that you are capable of at her events.

The usual endless supply of drinks and a stunning lunch was provided.

Alley simply provides the environment and enthusiasm to push your photography to another level.

Thank you, Alley. Both Alley and the studio are 100% recommended.

I have already booked my next visit!

Went along to PoZers again last week for a couple of hours of a studio day with Valis Volkova. In any session your focus is on your plans , the model and the rapport between you. The studio just needs to tick along without unduly taking up your attention. PoZers, in the hands of owner Alley, does that in spades. All the right lights set up no fuss. All the tea you can drink. Background changes - done in an instant. All the chat you need to maintain the flow. Requirements and ideas for props dealt with in a flash (so to speak). Help with costumes - no problem. And all this regardless of your level of expertise and experience. A go-to studio.

Recently I had the absolute pleasure of working at PoZers studio and I was absolutely blown away!

First of all, it goes without saying, Alley is one of the loveliest people I have ever met!

She bent over backwards to accommodate me and is just an absolute sweetheart!

The studio itself is lovely, well equipped and warm, with a MASSIVE wardrobe of amazing clothes, headdresses, shoes and jewellery and really good quality lighting equipment.

Alley was an incredible host and was extremely helpful throughout. She is very much a mother hen character, which is really lovely and I felt well looked after!

Thank you so much Alley and I can't wait to come back to your wonderful studio!

Lotsa love,

I don’t think I can come close to the the last reference left on Pozers page, by the last client, only to say “well said.” Yesterday I spent over four hours in the company of Alley and Alice Katz at Pozers. As is usual, hair and makeup by Alley was spot on. I was asked by Alice why I liked Pozers so much, my answer, quite simple really, Alley! She is the reason I will continue to use the studio, warm, friendly, unintimidating, as well as all the extras, costume, lighting and makeup. I. came across the studio, a bit by accident, but it is no accident it is my go to studio. A safe environment for Models and photographers. I just need to save harder to allow me to visit more often. A truly wonderful day, with two extremely talented people. If you never visit a studio ever again, make sure Pozers is your one and only visit, you will not be disappointed. Thank you once again Alley for a cracking day. See you soon.😌😌😌😌😌

Sorry Alley, forgot🤪🤪🤪😊😊. Attended Pozers, again, I do love this place😍😍😍😍. This time with Helen Diaz, during her Dita and burlesque day. Once again a superb day hosted by Alley.

I’m starting to run out of words to describe the dedication and hard work this lady puts in to her studio. Being just before Christmas, I would’ve been reluctant to shoot anywhere else, but because it’s Pozers and the way the event is presented and involved Helen Diaz, how could I resist? Get your bums along to any event which shows up on your feeds, you are seriously missing out if you’ve never attended one. Thank you Alley for yet another wonderful day. Again apologies for the delay. Take care, see you soon.

Alley is amazing!!

She is the most loveliest person I have ever met. Friendly, welcoming and always has a smile on her face.

I have spent a lot of time at PoZers and I love it, so many props and outfits that you will not find anywhere else.

I am also fascinated by Alley's skills, there is nothing she can't do.

PoZers is the whole package so I would book now, you won't be disappointed!

Highly recommend and hope to return again soon. x

I’ll try this again, previous reference dissappeared🤪🤪🤪🤪 back at Alleys and Pozers again, this time her guests being Retro Rob and Melany. Very short notice shoot, but oh so worth it. Fantastic time spent with Alleys guests, but here’s a thing, I return to this wonderful studio, time and again, because I know I will never be disappointed. Apart from her skills as a MUA and photographer, her knowledge of lighting, and understanding the needs and ideas of the photographer are second to none. Spending an afternoon in Alleys company is an absolute pleasure, always on hand to lend a hand and contributing ideas, is a skill difficult to master, but this is what this lovely lady does. The whole afternoon was a blast, why? Simply because of the professionalism and dedication of Alley, Rob and Melany. Thank you again Alley, you are a diamond.

Here we go again, just spent a very short notice afternoon with Alley at Pozers. Her guests for the afternoon Retro Rob and Melany. An absolute blast working with this pair, didn’t really have a clue how or what we were going to shoot, because of the short notice, but between us, vintage/film noir style was the direction we took. Now this is why I go to Pozers, Alley not only provides a working knowledge of the industry, she also provides a working knowledge of all which is required to make a successful shoot. Without her lighting experience, I would’ve had to waste shooting time messing with lights etc, Alley dealt with that, allowing maximum shoot time. This studio is my go to for shooting, model safety, photographer safety, mua, industry knowledge, why would you want to go anywhere else? Alley is an absolute star, with nothing being too much trouble. She has an ability to immedietly put you at ease and can help with ideas, guiding when needed and observing when necessary. Alley, you are a diamond, thank you once again for another afternoon of absolute bliss.

Alexander Wares Photography

Here we go again, thanks Alley and Bobbi. What a cracking afternoon spent in the company of these two lovely ladies. Alley, as usual on hand to do everything, God, she is so stubborn!😬😬😬anyway, allowing me to get on with the shooty stuff, and the shooting of the International model and spy Bobbiska Castlenova. If the KGB are monitoring this, I didn’t really shoot her😂😂😂😂 so there🤪🤪🤪 fantastic afternoon. I can’t really add much more than I’ve said before, except to say, if you haven’t had the pleasure of working at this studio, do yourselves a favour, get out there, Alley doesn’t bite (only on a full moon) and the cost is ridiculously low, you’d spend more on a night out in the pub. She has an almost endless list of models and experience to draw on, as well as all her experience as a makeup artist and creative artist. What you waiting for, Huh? For me, one of the best studios for model safety and photographer safety, it works both ways. Thank you Alley and thank you Bobbi, for a fantastic four hours. 😘

Running out of words for this studio and it’s owner Alley. Shot with Scarlett Blaze yesterday. With Alleys skills at makeup, styling and lighting, this has to be one of the best and friendliest studios in this area. Any of you out there unsure, or nervous about using studios, intimidated at the thought of being looked down upon, because of lack of experience?.. then please be assured, you will be welcomed with open arms and guided to a wonderful experience. Turn up and go with the flow, I promise you, you will remember, forever, your wonderful day at Pozers. If you can get to Alleys workshops, then do it, she has a wealth of experience to pass on and is more than willing to help, whatever your level. As for me, yesterday’s shoot was memorable, on leaving I felt like could fly. Thank you Alley, for yet another wonderful day.

Becoming my default studio can't speak more highly of this Studio and its wonderful owner who will do anything for you. Continuously assisting and helping you get the best from your shoot not a accident that my best images are coming from Pozers.

Attended my second group shoot at PoZers studio. This time for a “Betty Boop” event with the amazing Scarlett Blaze.

I cannot praise Alley enough for the effort she puts in to organising and running these events. The costumes she organised were stunning. The atmosphere relaxed and full of banter and laughter. There was an endless supply of drinks and an abundance of food provided.

Alley is such fun to be around and is always happy, smiling and willingly gives help and advice on lighting settings.

Thank you, Alley, for putting on another superb event. See you again soon!
