Great experience with Alan who took headshots of 25 team members for me. Super friendly and efficient, he put everyone at ease and I'm really happy with the results. Even people who 'hate' having their photos done commented that Alan made is easy and fun. More...

First class! Alan responded very quickly to my email when I approached four potentially suitable photographers, and gave me a good price and confidence in going with him. The shoot itself was a relaxed, enjoyable, and educational experience not only for me but also the Bournemouth Uni student Alan was helping. If I have cause for further photos I'll be back to Alan.

I had my first 1:1 shoot with Alan recently after he assisted on one of my group shoots in March. We had lots of laughs, lots of creativity, and I've already received edits from the shoot. We are planning future shoots and events at his studio and so far comms have been very good. Alan also takes on board any suggestions that are made, and is always keen to keep on learning and expanding his skill set. More...
