I did some retouching for Keith on a selection of his images. Communications were excellent with a speedy response rate. It is a joy to work on his images as they are always very good and creative. I would not hesitate to recommend him to models looking for quality photos to add to their portfolio.

Sooooo glad we fit this shoot in!!!! Originally: I was never even set to be coming to Dorset on this tour... And with Covid and everything happening this year - literally if you would have asked me just a week before we booked it in the diary if Keith and I could grab a shoot before the year ended, the answer would likely have been no. Cancellations in my travel schedule, and a whole lot of fate on our side however - AND WE NAILED IT! :D

Working with Keith is a real joy - any time of the year! But I think what made this shoot special was that it had already been a tough year with folks creative streaks placed on hold. So I think both of us were definitely bursting to let it all out; and the shots that we achieved... Well I think it’s safe to confirm that we did just that! :P If I told you that we turned ironing a dress for a shot into a whole retro set, would you believe it? Okay, what about if I told you that Keith walked around town with a fully suited and booted clown? Taking over the arcades at the beach, stopping at the local pub to grab a pint prop, descending on alley ways/subways galore. No - it wasn’t the circus, I promise you... Just a pretty standard day working with a sound bloke who really is down for any creative madness imaginable! :P I mean: we also did some prettyful and dreamy stuff too, don’t get me wrong! :) But what a tour highlight!

Everything else I can say literally echos what I’ve said about Keith in the past. He has so much enthusiasm for shooting and really gets in the zone. It’s been a pure joy working with him several times since our first shoot and just watching his style and photography flourish. He’s exceptionally versatile and will take on any challenge, adapt with the moment/with the lighting and has a great eye for seeing things and thinking outside the box/thinking up ideas. His way is to always team up with the model and allow a collaborative rapport to pave the way... This is why good working relationships are so vital in this game, and I feel I have a cracking one with Keith at this stage. :)

Nothing changes with Keith: same old cheerful and chirpy nature, high-spirited approach and perfect etiquette when working with models. Whenever we shoot/he hosts me the time just flies! And sometimes we’ve even done it over multiple days! He has a very professional attitude when shooting and wants nothing more than the model to feel 1000% comfortable. But when you get to know him you can just have an absolute giggle from the start til’ the end of your shoot. :D Gosh, we literally don’t stop natting haha! So rest assured you’re completely safe with this fellow... He’s so lovely and down-to-earth, and someone I will always look forward to shooting with again in the future. And there will be a next time!

Best last minute shoot ever! All we ever do is clown around really - but I felt this time... We excelled ourselves. Ey Keith? ;)

Thank you so much dude!

Had a fab day with Keith at the beach, full of sun, sand, sea, and Mars bars which he shared along with good chat and a lovely easy going photography style and I hope the results express the joy of the day. Thankyou Keith.

Shot with Keith today at lulworth and we had an amazing shoot! Keith was very dedicated to doing the shoot as he had to walk the last stretch from wool to lulworth! We got some fantastic images. Keith came prepared with snacks too which was v kind of him to share. Lovely friendly guy and he had some great ideas for the shoot!

Can’t wait for our next one! Thank you again!

Keith attended on my latex themed group shoot this week at the Old Bakery studio. I've worked with him numerous times before so knew exactly hat to expect...

He was a joy to work with, fun, great personality and very polite.

His images looked stunning in the back of the camera and can't wait to see the final results!

Highly recommended, thanks Keith xx

I love working with Keith! He is a lovely man, very respectful and easy going. He is open to any crazy ideas which is a massive plus for me! He carries out any suggestions with ease and is obviously passionate about photography. Our last shoot was our best yet and I look forward to the next! Highly recommended.

Yet another shoot with Keith but this time at my group shoot at Branded studios where I was dressed as the grinch. Keith made good use of the time, was Co operative with the other photographers and helpful where he could be.

I've come to know Keith very well over the 2 years we have known each other, and he travels from weymouth to christchurch to support me with my socials every month which is so appreciated. I recommend Keith to anybody who wants a photographer who calls a spade a spade and will make you laugh! I also can't wait to see the images as from the shoot, as from what I saw, they were great!

Yay! Working with the Keithster is always a great crack! :D It seems a rarity that I manage to drag myself down to the sunny South Coast nowadays... But whenever I do I am always buzzing if Keith and I are able to fix something up because he’s a genuinely lovely guy, brilliant host who offers safe accommodation to touring models and of course a mega enthusiast when it comes to picture making. All the important bits of having confidence working with someone well and truly-: ticked!

Keith is a very versatile and open-minded guy when it comes to his photography. He’s got a great eye and mind for ideas of his own - yet he is routinely over the moon for the model to contribute as much as they like. Hence you are always guaranteed a prolific “team bounce” shooting with Keith. It’s honestly a blast. He makes superb use of shooting opportunities at his place in Weymouth (of course with his famous hot tub too which we made yet more pictures in this time with a different theme!) But on top of that, he’s open to working in fully equipped studios and on location too meaning that models who might specialise/prefer one particular shooting environment over another then it’s all covered with this gentleman because whilst he pursues creative opportunities and ideas to the max, he absolutely prioritises the models feeling at ease and happy in their work space. :) I cannot stress how much he considers a positive atmosphere and vibe for every shoot. That’s why I’m back time and time again haha! Ooh, he does have a great local Indian takeaway too for if you’re staying overnight!!!

Looking back at our shoots, we always manage to do something a little different despite having worked together several times now... The inspo just never seems to die and it can be something as simple as pursuing the light when it’s just momentarily there, or taking time on a specific concept which then develops like a snowball into other ideas. The flow - it’s the flow darlings!!! And you only need to take a short glance at Keith’s portfolio to see just how he really puts his all into working with each model to create stunning work. His drive is seriously on-point. This time involved creative makeup, natural light balanced with controlled, snazzy fashion and shapes underwater... The mind boggles excitedly as to what we’ll tackle next time. And there will be a next time! :P

On top of all the rest - Keith has the biggest heart and is unconditionally professional in his approach at all times. He 1 million percent respects each and every person he works with, ensuring that good etiquette and feeling comfortable always come first. But you can also have the biggest laugh imaginable with Keith because he doesn’t take himself too seriously and is literally bursting with humour and sociable qualities. :D The great combination of awesome things there are to say about this bloke make him someone whose recommendation was would shout from the rooftops! He’s a good un’ alright. :)

If I’m honest, I don’t know how he puts up with us models! I mean he ends up on the floor/hanging off things and doing balancing acts to get that angle to set FIRE to the picture. Just takes it all in his stride! :P

Thank you so much Keith for another wonderful shoot/stay!

Well worth the wait! Thank you so much Keith for making it happen .

Well after over two years of talking about working together at some stage it finally materialised.

What better opportunity than at South House Retreat on another Retro Rob and Melany tour .

Keith is down to earth and respectful his eye for detail is on point ensuring that he not only captured a killer shot but that he also captured what you the model are hoping to achieve .

His knowledge of natural light was incredible as we struggled with mother nature throw the odd cloud in just when you didn't want it but this didn't faze Keith and looking at the back of the camera I could see why because he still captured the magic.

Thank you so much for a brilliant shoot I can't wait to see the results and work with you again soon this time we will make way quicker than over two years thank you so much .

Loved working with Keith on my sold out studio day at Art Asylum! Keith is brilliantly witty and holds great conversation. The BOC shots we got were fantastic and I'm looking forward to seeing the final results!

100% recommended and I hope to work with him again soon!

Thanks for coming Keith!

Super chuffed that Keith came to a vintage duo event that I hosted with Retro Rob at South House.

Keith is such a delight to work with and I love the shots he was capturing today. He is so easy to work with and has a great sense of humour. I love watching how much is photography and confidence is progressing.

Hoping for a shoot in the New Year Keith!

Highly recommended! :)

Shoot number seven for Keith and myself, also joined by the lovely M e l a n y.

It is such an honour to work with Keith as he takes his photographic journey very seriously and the proof of his improvement is right there in his portfolio.

Yet again, Keith let me stay with him whilst I was in the area and I am so grateful. It means so much to come back at the end of each day to a friendly face and good company.

I've been loving seeing the images that we created recently, just cracking!!!

Always recommended! :D

Had a great first shoot yesterday with Keith at his home.

It was a pleasure to shoot with him and I will definelty be looking forward to shooting again with him!

Made me feel very relaxed and had plenty of a coffee to hand :)

I would highly recommend him, had such a great time too!

It was well worth the wait!!! Keith is a legend, we clicked straight away. When I joined PP and first started modelling, I really hoped to meet people like Keith - he is a first class, genuine guy with great energy and an awesome sense of humour.

Keith attended a workshop that I hosted at South House Retreat with Wavepower. He was great to work with and very enthusiastic about the shoot. I can't wait to shoot with him again next month on an all-dayer that we have booked.

I am really amazed at the progress that Keith has made since he started model photography. It's clear that he has a real passion for it and has a great eye for a shot. He works collaboratively which I love, and has a laid back but productive approach to a shoot.

Thank you Keith - very highly recommended! :)

Wow what a day! Had an awesome second shoot with Keith at the Art Asylum where we covered a range of looks from fine art nude to fashion nude and boudoir.

In the afternoon we were to South House and the amazing Tigerbelle joined us. It was a truly fantastic afternoon with fellow creatives.

Keith is very easy going yet productive and there was a lovely pace to today’s shoot. He works very collaboratively and was careful to show me the camera after each sequence to see what I thought. I’m very excited about the images we created today. Thank you Keith for a super shoot :)

We hosted Keith last weekend at ours and I had a great time as usual with him.

Although I dragged him out the house super early for a 6am shoot in the river he was so up for it and made the early start so worth it. Getting in the river with me and smiling through out and having a great time.

Then off to a water garden and again captured some amazig shots to then finish off in a derelict location. As always a fab shoot and seeing improvements with every shoot we have, i love seeing Keiths progress and o just love workig with him and seeing the results. Great guy, full of laughs and all round a joy to shoot with.

Looking forward to our next an as always very highly recommended!

Keith and I have been chatting ever since I joined PP and I was absolutely delighted that stars aligned and we finally managed to arrange a shoot.

I really love Keith's work and I was very excited to work with him. We had a lovely chat beforehand and i had a really good feeling about the shoot.]

Keith shoots in a very relaxed style, lots of chatting, lots of breaks... a smattering of shooting! Its no wonder he gets such good shots - I felt totally relaxed and at ease and it was a pleasure working with him. He is easy going, offers a little direction, but largely leaves me to get on with it - again I like working like that - happy JJ!

We shot largely in my house and the popped out to a new location I'd just discovered - I love his location work and was delighted we got outside for an hour or so.

I would highly recommend Keith to other models and very much hope I get the chance to work with him again,

thank you so much

I had a fab day shooting with Keith, my second time working with him. We started very early out at a local location to me, got tons of fabulous images.

Working with Keith is really easy and enjoyable. Lots of variation but also an easy going pace, with a good amount of breaks to relax, and great conversation.

We had a lovely breakfast/brunch after our sunrise shoot too before going onward to some more cool locations, and then headed to Joel Hicks studio where we shot in the gorgeous outdoor areas there.

I thoroughly enjoyed the time, Keith is really professional, considerate, fun and down to earth. Awesome guy :-D

I have shot many times with keith now. We split a day in two, with a few hours at the Art Asylum and a few hours in Keith's home. We got some great shots in the studio experimenting with gel lighting and then we moved on to a tribal themed shoot afterwards. Keith always has a smile and tea and biscuits to hand on every shoot :) I was able to see the images straight away and Keith even let me lightly edit a few of them myself. I will be shooting with Keith again

I had a lovely lovely time shooting with Keith at the 'Gilded Red' event at the Hacienda, organised by Gemma Huh, also with Heather May Corvid... where we (the models I mean) were all body-painted gold! :-)

Keith was so friendly, professional and enthusiastic throughout. I found him really warm, fun and easy to work with. We made some brilliant images in the trio as well as individually, making great use of all the fabrics, jewellery and accessories we had supplied for the theme.

I can happily recommend him as a great photographer to work with.
