I had a wonderful first shoot with Keith at Shadow Studio.

We shot some fashion, music, steampunk and portrait themes that were all wonderfully contrasting - he also bought wonderful bag of props which we put to great use! Keith has a wonderfully creative eye and is lovely to work with - thoroughly enjoyed working together and highly recommended. Hope to shoot again!

Thanks

Yet another fantastic day spent with the wonderful Keith - this time a mixture of shooting in the golden flurries of autumn and twisted fairytale labyrinths, and indoor opportunities at the wonderful Scorpion Residence - creating more gorgeous images!!!!

Keith is so lovely, kind, fun, creative and enthusiastic! I always feel so valued as a collaborator and have been privileged to have been working with him for 10 years now. I highly recommend him and always enjoy our shoots and his company - thank you so much Keith :-)

Keith shot at my studio for his first time after his model, the beautiful 'Ivory Flame' had arranged the booking.

I found him to be friendly with a fun sense of humour and very easy to get along with. I was pleased that he treated studio and props in the way that I like and also it was good to see that he made good use of everything that my studio spaces have to offer.

I would be happy to have Keith return and looking forward to seeing images that he has captured here. Highly recommended! – Lee

I had yet another wonderful shoot with Keith this time during my tour to Bath! :D

Keith as per usual, turned up on time, raring to go with a wonderful attitude and great energy! Keith is one of the kindest and most considerate photographers I am lucky enough to work with! :D And what makes it even better is that he also takes really wonderful photographs too! SO keith really is the full package!

Shooting with Keith is always a great collaboration! he listens to ideas as well as bringing his own wonderful ideas to the shoot!

He is always respectful and professional and the time flies when with Keith as shoots are always full of wonderful conversations! :D

Highly recommended by me !

I was soo happy that Keith booked a second shoot with me as I was very much looking forward to working with him for a longer period of time. Also I was looking forward to working with him on location.

We had a full days location shoot, which to begin with didn’t seem to be going to plan, the first location was too busy to shoot at and the second we couldn’t really get too - oh and it was raining, however not once did Keith get stressed or agitated. He kept a cool relaxed attitude throughout and we still managed to make the most of the places we went to and got some really wonderful shots!

Keith was always very concerned about my wellbeing, comfortability And safety, making sure I didn’t get too cold as well as lending me his coat so I didn’t get too wet.

And despite the rain, I really really enjoyed my time with Keith. We had a little adventure with lots of walking, finding locations, blackberry picking and talking about art. Keith is a pleasure to be with and I really enjoyed his company! He is a very warm, kind gentleman. I am very sad we don’t live closer to one another!

As a photographer, Keith had lots of brilliant ideas and suggestions. He worked quickly and efficiently and didn’t take a silly amount of shots! And that’s how I love to work! Keith had great attention to detail and is very creative! I am so excited to see the results from our shoot! The shots looked just lovely in the back of the camera. He worked really well with the constantly changing natural light also, which I imagine was a cchallange! But again, Keith was not phased!

Keith comes highly recommended by me and I do hope we can shoot again!

Keith was absolutely fantastic to work with! Due to a re-arranged date ( due to weather ) I’m so glad we squeezed in a shoot before I left the country ! Me and Keith’s aesthetic desires in photography are almost identical! We both love soft and floaty, goddess and painterly Pre-raphaelite styles! And he captures it SO well ♥️ Keith was always super quick at communicating and he took me to this absolutely magical location ! I was so in love with all the options we had and we captured so many different looks ! What I love about his style is we never shoot for too long on one theme, he knows how to capture what he wants and we move onto the next look and lots of breaks in between to make sure I am comfortable and happy- he also treated me to a lunch afterwards which is always SO appreciated! Keith is amazing, the photos looked amazing, our collaboration was amazing, I can’t thank him enough for such a wonderful shoot! Would happily recommend, always!!

How lovely it was, to have the fabulous Keith, back at PoZer's again today, it seems like only yesterday and was so lovely to catch up. Keith came to PoZer's to shoot the phenomenal Gem today,bringing some lovely items to shoot with, and full of fabulous ideas of what he wanted to achieve. Keith is always so complimentary to both myself and the models, he really is a true gentleman, and such a pleasure to be around. Keith's pre-shoot communication is always clear, concise and informative, which is a great bonus before the start of any shoot. This was Keith's very first shoot with Gem, and he made every effort to make a creative connection, from the very start of the shoot, and this really reflected in the images he took of her, working on some stunning portraits, beautiful sheer material and clothing work, finishing with some beautiful art nude, to complete his time with us. Keith is a wonderful gentleman, his portfolio speaks volumes and his work throughout, is spell binding. As a studio owner, stylist, makeup artist and photographer, I really can't recommend Keith enough. He is kind, caring,and considerate, before, during and after the shoot, and is a total pleasure to be around, creating some stunning images. Thank you so much for today Keith, as always, such a pleasure to work with you. Five star photographer with a first class attitude to the industry.

Had a fabulous shoot with Keith at Pozers, what a lovely person to work with! Very creative vision, relaxed shoot but we got some absolutely beautiful images. I look forward to working with him again, thank you! Gem

I was thrilled that the stars aligned that Keith was on a trip in London and able to join me on one of my studio days at the stunning Hacienda! It was fantastic to have him as one of my photographers on my first residency there.

This man is such a gentleman and a joy to work with, again and again. So lovely, considerate and respectful, with such a thoughtful, creative eye and a passion for collaborating together on beautiful images.

The photos he took are stunning and make me so proud. Thank you always Keith.

I shot with Keith again this morning on my current tour of the South West :)

It's always a pleasure working together, he's a lovely photographer and we got some really beautiful images throughout the course of the morning in a variety of different styles. He also brought a seriously cool steam punk dress with him for something a bit different :D

Happily recommended by me and hope to work with him again soon!

I did another test shoot with Keith last Friday. It was such a pleasure to work with him again. He is such a lovely polite gentleman...he is very talented, his work is amazing.... we did a variety of styles and different natural lighting...considering we did not have lots of time...as we were both very busy and had to dash off...We did lots of styles...The images are fantastic. I did a few shoots last year with Keith and the photos were absolutely amazing...Thanks Keith for another great shoot....:-)

Had another absolutely lovely weekend with Keith last month! As usual Keith's pre-shoot communications were excellent, he kept me very well informed of his plans and what he wanted to achieve from our shoots :)

Keith is one of the kindest and loveliest people you could meet, he is wonderful company and it means that any shoot with him is so enjoyable! He is very attentive and makes sure to keep his model fed, rested and happy! In addition, Keith spends a great deal of time thinking about possible locations and it pays off, he always manages to find beautiful landscapes to place a model in! Keith is excellent at using natural light in his photos and he creates beautiful, natural and very elegant art nudes! He is able to take portraits all the way through to shooting a model in a landscape!

All in all Keith a wonderful person and photographer, any shoot with him is absolutely fantastic and I recommend him most highly! :)

Had a brilliant first shoot with Keith today! We strolled around Cheltenham trying a variety of locations and outfits. We both exchanged ideas and he was able to give good direction

He is kind, courteous and professional. I'm genuinely so excited to see the images on the back of the camera they looked sublime. The time flew by! I definitely recommend we will definitely be shooting again!

Keith's communication throughout was excellent :) He is a very kind, talented and creative man. We had plenty of breaks throughout our shoot :) I would definitely recommend :)

So a shoot with Keith has been on the cards for months! And today we finally managed to do so! Though unfortunately our time was cut short as Keith was stuck in traffic! But that did not stop us trying our best to produce some great images!! We only had 30 mins but managed 4 sets - all beautiful! One of my own suggestion and the other 3 Keith had planned!

Keith's communications have been superb throughout! I felt so honoured that Keith made such an effort to shoot with me as I know he's been unwell lately so I really appreciated him making such an effort! I really hope it was worth it for him!

Keith is very kind hearted gentleman! Has a lovely eye for creating art and is very respectful - I am so glad to be shooting again later in the year - hopefully for longer as judging by what we managed to create in 30mins I'm very excited to see what we do with more time!

Keith comes highly recommended by me!

Another super shoot with Keith, this time in a home studio set up in Chippenham.

He's always incredibly kind and respectful, and just a pleasure to be around. And always love the images we get together, until recently he had been my header image on here for almost a year and I only changed it because I really needed to have a refresh after so long or it would still be there haha!

Really enjoy working with him and happily recommended by me!

I had another fantastic shoot with Keith during a tour last month. He's so easy to get on with, pre-shoot communication was excellent and we had a great half-day pre-Raphaelite photoshoot in a beech woodland. He treated me to coffee and cake afterward and even waited with me when my bus was late. I cannot recommend him highly enough and look forward to working together again. :) Thankyou Keith!

I had another amazing photo shoot with Keith a week ago...we shot at Kilve amazing lunar landscape. It was such a pleasure to work with Kith again he is fantastic....I would love to do another shoot in the future and highly recommend him. Thanks Keith ;-)

What an absolute gentleman Keith is! I stepped in to fill a models place last minute at an event organised by Ivory Flame.

I had a fantastic two hours shooting with Keith, he is a great photographer and genuinely wants to create beautiful, timeless and classic shots and it was such a pleasure to model for him. He was very understanding and considerate when it was a little chilly outside, very relaxed, calm, chatty and warm.

Thanks so much Keith and I hope to shoot with you again :)

Always recommended!!! I've worked with Keith many times, he most recently attended a model day I organised at Pipewell Hall, and we also had 2 days shooting on location in Yorkshire a few months back - each time we work together we have such enjoyable shoots :-)

Keith is one of the loveliest people I've ever met, and such a dedicated, passionate photographer. He is so easy to spend time with, and brilliant at making the most of locations, without making you feel rushed, pressured or overworked.

I always feel completely involved in the creative process as a fellow artist, merging our skills and perspectives together to create gorgeous, timeless images we are so so proud of, whilst having a giggle, and stepping back to appreciate the sights along the way. Thank you so much Keith! :-)
