Hi Alan,
Have just had a brief whizz through the site and I am well impressed...the Speakers' Corner set has 'serious legs' and I like the way you have tightly cropped the heads, this is certainly one time eye contact is important, to bring out the eccentricity. These people are on the edge, when they get to the point of having to stand up on the soap box to make themselves heard, I think sometimes I am close to that point...anyway bravo! and I hope you are going to extend this powerful piece....best regards ..Paul.

Hi Alan, you gave me your web address when you came into my shop (The Attic) on weds 25th Feb and saw some of my work. Congrats on yours, I really enjoyed them, it was a real contrast to my work and I can see how much time you have spent catching those moments. Thank you, Martin Wase. www.theatticphotographic.co.uk

I am currently the programme secretary of Bracknell Camera Club and always on the look out for lecturers to our club. I have just come across your wonderful web site and stunning images and wondered if you would consider coming to Bracknell to give us a lecture. I'd therefore be grateful if you could contact me.

Many thanks

Alan - wow, what an evening. Your black and white images projected full screen were eye catching and powerful.

Your presentation had humour, warmth and a strong sense of understanding the characters you photograph.

Thank you for a fabulous evening.

Hi Alan,
I dont know you, but was very impressed with you web site and the article in the RPS journal. A number of years ago I used to do enviromental portraiture, mainly in black and white, but for the last 10years have mainly done Natural History. However, seeing your work has made me realise what I have been missing, and you have wHet my apetite to start doing portraiture again. I would love to go to one of your talks, and I see you are doing one at Midhurst Camera Club. Living in Colchester in Essex, its abit of a journey, so I was wondering if you have any plans to do any lectures in any of the clubs north of the river ? If so, I would love to come along and see your prints.

Hi Alan,

I followed your link from DCM and your shots here are truly stunning. I love doing portrait work and seeing your work has inspired me even more. I am relatively new to photography and do all my work unpaid at the moment just to get the experience. Thank you for letting me see what REAL photography is about, catching the person not just the scene. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Kindest regards

Steve.

You have an amazing collection of portraits on your website and the B&W treatment suits them very well. Keep up this great work, truly inspirational.

Some fabulous characters cpatured very cleverly. Did you have to get permission from everyone? Do you ever use colour? I think B & W is very effective, and of course when printed tends to "fix" permanently.

Hello Alan

Seen your images and love them.

Don't know where you live or much else about you but all things considered - We are based in Midhurst West Sussex. If that is near enough to you - would you consider doing a talk to our camera club members?

I look forward to hearing from you.
