Used Alex to update my son’s actor headshots, was a wonderful experience from start to finish, from very receptive to the initial enquiry, discussing in detail what we were looking for, and maintained communication throughout. The photographs are incredible and are having their desired effect already! Very reasonably priced, would highly recommend to anyone, and will definitely be calling on Alex again :) More...

Alex was friendly, approachable and made me feel comfortable. I sent him examples of the types of looks I wanted to create on the day. He listened to my ideas but also gave great feedback based on his own expertise and experience. The day ran smoothly, Alex gave clear instructions that were easy and simple to follow. I was very happy with the quality of the final product. The images looked amazing! Thanks Alex! More...

Thank you to Alex for making our day that more special! :) We are so grateful! He blended perfectly into our day / with our guests and caught so many great memories for us, of which our favourites are the natural shots. We wanted something different to the usual wedding photographs and wanted a mixed blend of shots - which is exactly what we got! His communication and preparation was fantastic, I was really pleased with how well prepared he was for the day - scoping our venue(s) days before our date for the best angles / backgrounds etc. Thank you once again Alex!

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
There are two main factors when taking great photos. One is planning; we like to discuss what is going to happen when the photo shoot takes place so that everything is in place and ready for the shoot. We like to know what it is exactly you want from the shoot. Secondly, it is important to be relaxed, which is why we never rush our shoots, yes it's an hour's shoot but if it goes over by a few minutes then that's ok, so long as we get the shot you want.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
We like to know what it is that they are expecting from the shoot and who it's for. We like them to be aware that they need to consider what clothing, props, and backdrops they would like.
What do you love most about your job?
Getting that one shot, that makes it all worthwhile, and adding a little creativity.
What inspired you to start your own business?
It was a lifelong ambition, having been a print photographer in the 70s. It taught you a lot about lighting and getting the image right in the camera. But the inspiration came from the likes of Lord Lichfield, who realised it wasn't about the equipment it was all about the subject.
Why should our clients choose you?
I am a dedicated self-taught photographer, with a great intimate studio, set within a secure office environment. Our prime aim is to take the images you want by making you as relaxed and as comfortable as possible. We have professional equipment and a variety of backdrops. We also have changing area/ washrooms and can provide light refreshments.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
No, we can't. You can either come to us in our studio in Wolverhampton or we can come to you on location.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
We no longer have Covid restrictions in place, although if you have covid please just phone to rearrange.
