Had my first studio shoot with Alex. The studio was cosy and really professional. Alex was very friendly and professional. He made sure I felt comfortable and not awkward. The ideas and light set up he came up with was really good. I'm really happy with the whole experience and not even to mention the pictures he produced. Amazing! Can't recommend him enough.

Had my first ever shoot with Alex yesterday and loved it!

Pre-communications were great, I knew exactly what to expect.

Once I got there he showed me round his studio which was great, room for me to get changed and chuck my bags down! Very chatty and let me know what he expected from the shoot.

Alex gave me some guidance during the shoot as and when I need it, he gave me some really good tips which I will be taking with me! We created some really good photos so can’t wait to see them edited! I got to see all the photos at the end and rate the ones I liked. Alex also made me feel really comfortable and made sure I was warm enough and comfortable enough throughout the whole shoot.

Will definitely be going back there to do the shoots we talked about at the end☺️

Al is an amazing photographer. He accepted the idea of a gym/fitness shoot which he helped with posing whilst also encorpriating my own ideas. He made me feel really comfortable in front of the camera and as soon as I met him too.

I would love to work with him again, and after seeing the sneak peeks I can't wait to see the rest if the images! Would 100% recommend Al🙌🏼

Al is probably my fav photographer to work with because he lets me do what I’m feeling but also suggests amazing ideas too.

I had my first ever shoot with him and he made sure I was comfortable throughout the whole process, since our first shoot he’s helped me with poses and outfits and is teaching me little tricks along the way!

Deffo have him to thank for when it comes to how relaxed I am in front of a camera now.

Will always find time to shoot with him 💘

I shot with Al 2 weeks ago today, and wow he’s not just an amazing, talented and respectful photographer, but an awesome guy to and really easy to get along with. Al concentrates on fine detail with lightening and posing to make sure you get the best results possible, he was brilliant from the first moment I started talking to him to the end of the shoot. It defiantly won’t be the last time we work together, I can proudly say I’d love to work with him over and over again simply because I love the ideas he comes up with plus the fact he respects your ideas and makes them happen!

I really enjoyed our shoot it was professional and after a few hours of hard work it was nice to actually have a laugh and break the ice. Al had a great selection of outfits that he wanted to try out but also let me add in my own stuff to which was great, at times I felt like I had run out of ideas with poses and he helped me with a bit of direction which made me feel even more comfortable and at ease, I would highly recommend shooting with him even if your just starting off or a pro. I can guarantee you’ll get the results your after as I can tell Al can deal with a challenge and your own personal requests. I shouldn’t say but I have to, i’ve shot with quite a few photographers now and Al is defiently one of my favourites I really can’t wait to work with this guy again lots more to come! He’s given me the best images I’ve had so far and they really are what I was after absolutely perfect, thankyou so much :)

We had a shoot in his studio, which was really nice. Well organised professional working space which i really appreciated. He knew what he was going for so he guided me very well but also gave me freedom to express myself. We had a little lunch break and he drove me to tesco which was very kind of him, soo what can i say - nice person, great photographer and i recommend him :)

Had a lovely shoot with Alex, he was punctual & friendly & happy for conversation to flow. We did several sets of different clothing looks & I was comfortable 100% of the time. We produced a lot of great images :)

Thank you!

Al is a very technically knowledgeable photographer and was more than willing to try out my insane ideas; but what tops it all is his chilled manor that makes me feel comfortable right away and this comes across in the photos/film. Thank you for putting up with the madness and I can't wait to produce more magic! Legend.

Alex came and picked me up as soon as i arrived. Prior we spoke about the shoot, exchanging outfit ideas and pictures relating to the theme and made clear both our expectations. During the shoot al was clear at directing me but at the same time open to ideas and suggestions and encouraged me to do my own thing. he also helped me feel a bit more comfortable during the initial stage of the shoot as i was a bit rusty after not shooting in a while. We got some great images, intact too many and i look forward to shooting with him again!

Had a test shoot with Alex today and it was extremely productive yet relaxed. We both wanted to get used to how each other works and make initial contact so a casual theme was chosen. However, Alex got creative with the idea, playing with colour and creating backgrounds during the shoot, and from the back of camera shots we got some great images! Alex was easy to get along with and I would recommend :)

I had a great shoot with ALbear on Friday, pre-shoot comms were awesome, we had a plan in no time and with so much detail I knew exactly what we we're aiming for. We had half a day together so decided to split the time with a home shoot at mine and then out on location, even if it wasn't the location we originally planned!

Alex was great, chatty all the way through and a perfectionist in his work which was great. The shoot was a little experimental but it was tonnes of fun and he was professional throughout.

We've discussed possibly working together again so I look forward to working with you next time! Thank you!

I've shot with Alex a few times now and he's great to work with. Really laid back and friendly, so the shoots relaxed but he also makes sure he gets the best. I've been super impressed with the results every time :)

Great guy, great photographer and highly recommend to models with any experience levels.

Was very easy to work with Alex. Got an offer to get picked up from the train station and be dropped back off at the end of the shoot. He has a lot of technical knowledge and gave some good advise for future shoots, as I am a newbee. Thank you for your time and efforts. Soul

I had a shoot with Alex earlier today, great communication before the shoot, he picked me up from the train station and was easy to talk to and made me feel very comfortable and welcome! He's very professional and knows exactly what kind of photos he wants. He also took me to get some food from the shop before I got my train home, would defiantly recommend Alex as he's easy to work with and also professional :) look forward to a future shoot! Thanks again
