Had a group shoot last night and met the lovely sheff.

From the first minute he made me feel very comfortable and relaxed which was lovely as was shooting with I think around 10-12 other men which can be nerve racking.

Refreshments were provided and the shoot flew by.

Everyone there was very professional and easy to talk to and very appreciative of your time.

Thanks so much:)

Allen came to our studio open day, a well mannered an polite gentleman that had taken the time to enquire about our studio and visit. He had a good look around our facilities and made time to shoot with the model we provided. Allen certainly new his stuff and we had a really good positive chat.

We would welcome him back to the studio again and in fact since the visit He has booked with us again already. Highly recommend.

Many Thanks, Rachel & Tim

Yet another fab shoot with Allen!

I had a railway crisis on my way to the shoot and Allen called me within minutes with a solution. Angel!! I was shooting for one of his group shoots - it was relaxed, well organised, and good fun. Allen really looks after his models, I would not hesitate to recommend him. A kind, professional and respectful chap, so easy to get on with and a pleasure to work with. Thank you Allen :)

Where do I start!? Firstly I love working with this gentleman! I have lost count on how many times our paths have crossed both on 1-2-1 shoots as well as on group shoots. Allen is awesome!!

Our last shoot was for a camera club, he helped organise. I loved the ideas and themes he had layed out. We did a reflective theme this time round and I couldn’t be happier, the sets were awesome and ready to go upon arrival. Allen was on hand to help with lighting when needed and helped create some outstanding and unusual images.

Thank you for booking me :) I look forward to our next encounter!

Highly recommend!!

Another lovely shoot with Allen! We have shot together on several occasions now - which says a lot in itself! A total gentleman, respectful and immediately puts you at ease. Always has an idea in mind which gives you good guidance to go from, and is good at giving direction. I highly recommend Alan, especially to new models as he is such an easy person to be around :) Thank you Allen!

I had a brilliant shoot with Allen as part of his lighting workshop at Click group studio. I was there with two other models and a number of photographers and we all had a wonderful time. Pre shoot coms were excellent and the whole evening was really well organised.

Allen is a great person to work with. He is extremely friendly and easy going, has plenty of good ideas to try and really listens and helps everyone involved.

To summarise Allen combines a great personality with amazing photographic skills, a win-win top photographer attribute 😍 I will be shooting with Allen again soon and hope to carry on working with him in the future.

Thank you lots Allen! 😍

Sheff is amazing!

Had booked me for a group shoot alongside with 5 other photographers. Unfortunately the first time round I had to reschedule but we managed to get a shoot booked and confirmed.

Sheff is highly organised, not easy to align 7 peoples schedule and a studio.

Technically, brilliant, understands lightning, composition and positioning really well.

Ensured I had to lift to and from the station, top man! Had a brilliant time hope to work with him again.

Another great shoot with Alan & Darrell, this time at Studio78 in Leicester. Both were a pleasure to work with as always, and created a range of cool, varied images in just a few hours. Alan is so lovely, fun, considerate and kind. I can happily recommend him to anyone :-)

Allen is a diamond!

After booking me his pre shoot communications was brilliant letting me know way in advance to have what people would want. I was so nervous and yet the group and Allen put me straight at ease.

I would recommend Allen and his group to anyone any day. Thank you for having me

I got to shoot with Allen again recently for the whole day, shared with two other lovely photographers. We worked outside at a variety of beautiful, interesting locations around Leicester and had such a brilliant time!! The shoot was very productive and we all got on really well. Allen is so fun, friendly, considerate and professional - a total joy to work with! I can highly recommended him :-D

I have just had yet another wonderful shoot with Allen! I swear every time he just blows me away! Such a pleasant gentleman to work with, full of ideas and his execution is top notch!

This was my second time working with him at Map studios. It was wonderful being familiar with the set up, we got stuck in straight away and did 3 or 4 different sets within an hour!

I had a sneak peak of the back of the camera and they are definitely some of my favourite images yet :)

We have already booked another shoot and I am really looking forward to working on location with this awesome photographer.

Thank you for yet another wonderful shoot Allen :)

Highly recommended!!

After talking for a while I finally got to meet Allen at a group shoot he had organised. He's a lovely man, friendly, professional, with a good sense of humour! He was also very good at supporting his photographers without being overbearing - a great group shoot leader. It was a pleasure to meet him and I'm really looking forward to working with him again soon! Thank you Allen xx

I was asked by Allen to model for a group evening he was putting on in Leicester. We managed to get a date sorted quickly and easily due to excellent communication.

Allen and I got chance to shoot together one on one before the group arrived. We managed to work through many different styles in a short space of time and the results are fantastic! He was friendly and polite the entire time, making sure I was okay and happy with what we were shooting. He is very creative and we managed to work together on some more abstract ideas which worked really well.

I would definitely recommend Allen to any model, and genuinely hope we get chance to work together again soon.

Allen booked me for a group shoot, which was great fun! Pre-shoot comms were excellent. He is an absolute gentleman - he kindly gave me a ride from the train station to the studio as well as helping me with my suitcase. All the photographers there were incredibly light-hearted, friendly and polite. We shot up to lingerie level and I felt at ease the whole time. Allen made sure that I had plenty of water and that I was comfortable throughout the shoot.

I had a fantastic time and would gladly work with Allen and his group again! Highly recommended! :)

Sheff is awesome!! (Alan) he has the most original ideas and the ability to arrange photo shoot with real authenticity - creative energy flows, this time we were at a cool farm setting. We worked through sets with great props, what a laugh! I love the images that were produced (as usual!)

Absolutely recommended by me!
