Absolutely amazed by Alan's work. He shot a Halloween mommy and me look with my son. He is great with little children, patient and understanding. We perfected the look and got some great images! Easily one of my favorites! More...

Alan is an excellent portrait photographer and I highly recommend you book him now if you are looking for beautiful unique Christmas presents for relations. Yesterday my two year old grandson, Leo, and I spent a wonderful afternoon at Dairy Barn Studios conveniently located near Beccles and an easy drive from Norwich and Lowestoft. On arrival Leo had fallen asleep but there was no pressure to wake him and Alan was the perfect host helping me unload the car of all the toys and other paraphernalia I’d brought along. The studio is in a beautiful setting inside a magnificently beamed barn that felt warm and welcoming and had a homely and relaxed feel about it. Comfy sofas, and dining table to sit at, helped make you instantly feel relaxed which, of course, is important when you are about to be photographed. Before the actual photo shoot, Alan ensured we were happy and we sat together enjoying delicious home baked muffins that I was keen to try after reading other reviews on this page and yes it went straight to the top of the great cakes I’ve tasted list! A selection of teas were also offered and Leo chose some fruit squash. Alan focussed the whole event around Leo’s needs and comfort. He was warm, friendly, kind and patient with him and once Leo was ready we had a look at the lights and talked with him about what was going to happen. He chose some toys he wanted in the first shoot and Alan gently talked to him whilst taking photographs which meant Leo was really relaxed and happily changed clothes three times and went back for more. One of the highlights for Leo was having a go on a swing that was suspended from a beam. Another was feeling the wind machine blow from over 20 feet away. Alan has a skill in connecting with his models to get the best from them and with his experience and expertise in photography and editing you can be reassured he will produce excellent results giving you something to treasure for a lifetime. Thank you Alan, I’m really looking forward to booking you to take more family photos too. More...

Alan was so professional. I was blown away when I entered the beautiful old barn studio with its massive lights and backdrop. Alan himself is so generous with his time and expertise. He took many shots in both colour and black and white and helped me choose the best ones. I was totally satisfied with the photos he took and had a wide range to choose from by the end of the session. Nice guy as well. Made me feel very relaxed. I'd recommend Alan to anyone looking for a top class headshot for business or social media use. More...

I met Alan on an organised photoshoot for models and photographer alike to come together 4 years ago. We have had three photoshoots in total over the years - one including my partner and I have always come away feeling totally relaxed and refreshed (Alan is very hospitable, engaging and makes you feel at ease). I have never been disappointed with any of the images he has produced. I have always been in awe of how incredible his work is and you can see the passion, care and pride he takes in his work. Always an absolute pleasure. A definite recommendation! More...

I had my first ever professional photo shoot with Alan to help promote my opera singing career. What an incredible person and an amazing photographer! I cannot recommend him enough.
It was an absolutely pleasure working with him. His experience and professionalism shines through all his pictures and the high levels of attention to detail highlights how much pride he has in his work. I love all the photos and I hope we will work together again in the near future.
Thank you very much Alan

My 15 year old son, who is inexperienced when it comes to modelling, had a photo shoot with Alan Lyall last week, with a view to building a portfolio. I came along as chaperone and I was very happy with how Alan put my son at ease and guided him through the session smoothly. We are extremely happy with the photo results, and grateful for the chance to work with a photographer of such professionalism and skill. Thank you very much! More...

Just recently did my second Photoshoot with Alan and enjoyed every minute of it!

Alan's got a good eye for knowing what works and what doesn't work for you. So if you've never done a Photoshoot before I highly recommend working with Alan. He's great at making you look and feel confident in your modelling and Super helpful with directing when needed.

Alan's a great photographer, he's easy to talk to, creative and fun to be around! Anyone thinking of trying out modelling, or wanting amazing portrait images Alan's the man you go to!

I met Alan for the first time this week. We had our very first shoot. I was a delight to work with Alan. He was very welcoming and friendly. He was very informative and attentive before the shoot as well at after. He was also very kind to my chaperone Tom and had no problem at all with him being there. Made him feel just as welcome with a cup of coffee while I had my make up done. Alan organised everything ready for my arrival including the MUA. I can't wait to get the chance to work with him again thank you Alan for a wonderful shoot and images. More...
