alpha-phenylethylamine has two stereoisomers, (R)-(+)-1-phenylethylamine and (S)-(-)-1-phenylethylamine. You could find structural pics in web.

Take any pair of RS stereoisomers from any textbook and change substituents to get alpha-phenylamine stereoisomers (eg change COOH group  of alanine on C6H5 group - the same RS configuration will be preserved)
