Beverli Alford

Testimonials

  • “Beverli Alford was referred to me by a colleague as I had needed 20 bridal gowns photographed quickly for my company’s press kit. She handled this task very orderly and professionally in consideration of my time constraints. Coupled with all that‚ she provided her own quality support staff i.e. stylist‚ makeup artist with professional agency models.

    The end results were phenomenal. Not just beautiful images‚ but her editing skills added something extra for a more visual effect. Her enthusiasm for her craft amazes me because she was able to capture the images I envisioned. My experience with Beverli was very positive as I plan to work with her again in the very near future.”

  • “It’s that ‘look’ in the models’ faces and the placement of her models in the frame that keeps asking more questions‚ wanting me to learn more about Professional Photographer‚ Beverli Alford. She is extremely accomplished in a fashion‚ editorial or event photo setting. She adds an expert's eye to color placement‚ mood‚ lighting and design to evoke just the right ‘touch’ for each of the photographs she creates. Coupled with her expertise as a photographer and Adobe Photoshop skill‚ the end results are tremendous. I highly recommend Beverli whether you want to look your best as a model or just want to evoke a certain ‘look’ as an editor or designer.”

  • “My Mom is an outstanding photographer. I’ve booked several jobs from her photos alone. One in particular‚ was with me laughing hysterically at nothing. That photo alone landed me the “Nokia” Campaign in Europe. The client specifically told me it was that winning photo that landed me the job!

    Whether or not I get the job‚ clients always ask‚ “Wow‚ who shot these amazing photos?” I definitely believe in her talent and her eye for fashion. Not because she’s my mom‚ just because she’s an outstanding photographer!!”

  • “I have been representing models for over 21 years with T.H.E Artist Agency. The agency is very selective regarding testing photographers we will refer to our talent. Over the last year‚ Beverli Alford has become one of my top recommended photographers. In the last 12 months of referring models to Beverli‚ she has consistently put new talent at ease and stimulated a level of projection that is not commonly found in inexperienced models. I find her talents in photography to be unique and undeniably creative.

    She is intuitive and willing to listen to the agency’s input and direction regarding models and their specific market potential. She is extremely reliable and stays in contact with both the agency and talent throughout the testing process. She is timely with providing contact sheets‚ prints‚ and touch-ups. In addition to her professionalism‚ she has priced her testing to be affordable for models new to the industry. Our talent has unanimously enjoyed and benefited from working with her. I am impressed with her as both a person and photographer. I would recommend her to any agency with the highest regard and feel that any relationship you may develop with her will be more than satisfactory.”

  • “I have been working with Beverli Alford for almost two years‚ and I have consistently been pleased with her work. I have collaborated with many photographers in the past‚ and they all seem only interested in their bottom line or pushing their own agendas during photo shoots. As a designer who sells predominately on the Internet‚ my pictures need to sell the clothes in a way that is stylish‚ simple‚ yet tastefully done. After the first photo shoot with Beverli‚ I felt like I knew and worked with her for a long time and felt she went out of her way to make sure the final images were nothing less than perfect. Now‚ I travel from New York City to Maryland to exclusively work with her because she sincerely treats my collections and pictures as if they were her own. She is always pleasant to work with‚ understands what I need for each shoot‚ and consistently does her best to make my pictures look stunning.

    When I contact her to set up a shoot‚ she offers her help finding models‚ make-up artists and stylists and gives her input to make the shoot a success. During photo shoots‚ she really knows how to capture the mood and theme of the collections and is patient with me as I can be very particular about each shot. We recently completed a photo shoot for my new collection‚ and I must say‚ I have never been so pleased! The lighting and shots are perfect. It’s rare to find such a cohesive relationship between a photographer and designer‚ and I appreciate that I have found it in Beverli. As my business grows‚ I plan on growing with her as she is one of the most talented photographers I know. I highly recommend Beverli to anyone who appreciates a photographer with talent and heart to match!”
