I had a remote shoot with Keira and it was really good. She has a professional setup to be able to do remote shoots from the comfort of her own home while I’m 100 miles away.

Her setup was good - a Canon DSLR with multiple lenses that she’s able to swap around for various types of shot. That’s connected to her laptop via a cable which allowed me to adjust the camera and take the pic, while we talked over zoom.

The shoot went really well - Keira had the ideal lingerie picked out from what we had planned previously, and as usual, she posed really well!

Firstly I would like to appologise for an extremely late reference. The shoot itself was arranged at very short notice when Keira's plans had to be changed but I was so glad she contacted me as i really love shooting with this exceptional model.

In total we have shot together 5 or 6 times and every one has been fantastic but personably I think this one even surpassed our previouse shoots.

Keira really is a brilliant model to work with very easy going but also very hardworking and inventive and every time we shoot together she comes up with cracking ideas. I'm already looking forward to working with her again the next time she is down this way

Keira is totally amazing. You can see that immediately from her vast collection of outstanding images across so many styles. Her facial expressions, agility in posing, imagination and personality is second to none. With so many positive references, it is difficult to avoid repeating the praises of so many others.

But, have you seen her dance?

Thoroughly recommended for all forms of photographical and videographical assignments, and add a dance video to your next photo shoot with Keira.

Thanks, Keira.

I have wanted to work with Keira for ages, but wasn’t able to make it when she was passing through my area. Then I saw that she was offering remote shoots and decided to have a go.

Keira is brilliant to work with and explained the remote shoot process very clearly. I only needed to have the Zoom client installed, everything else was handled by her on her laptop. I had a few ideas that I thought we could shoot so set up a mood board on pinterest, though I was also happy to see what we could come up with on the day too.

The remote connection worked smoothly and the camera software was easy to use. After a brief tour of possible places to shoot and some discussion about ideas we were off. We were very lucky with some wonderful sunlight, and got some fantastic shots. Keira is a great person to work collaboratively with and she worked hard to make sure the shoot went smoothly. I really appreciated all the effort she put into the shoot and am very pleased with the results.

This was my first remote shoot and my first time working with Keira, it definitely won’t be the last time, as I am already thinking of ideas for our next shoot!

Thank you Keira. 🙂

I booked my first ever remote shoot with Kiera in March 2021.

.

Keira was great at guiding me through the technical aspects of shooting remotely and we were up and running in no time at all.

She has a great variety of poses and ideas that made the time fly by. W

A true professional and someone I hope to have an opportunity to work with in the future.

REMOTE SHOOT

I had avoided remote shoots last year, probably due to the fear of the unknown, but I finally did one in February and thought “this is good fun” so when I saw Keira’s casting call saying she was starting to shoot that way, I thought I must follow that through. It’s a different way of working but as soon as you get into the rhythm it is just as enjoyable as a face to face meeting.

The whole process worked smoothly and Keira gave me a “virtual tour” of her house to give me an idea of what she could offer and it certainly gave me some inspiration for what we could utilise.

I have worked with Keira on a couple of occasions in the past and she conducted this whole shoot with the same enthusiasm I had witnessed previously especially as she was having to undertake all roles from model to studio technician moving the lights, etc. Her usual eye for detail was present ensuring that everything ran smoothly giving me some good images, some of which I will be sharing soon.

This is not saying anything against Keira (I said it to her at the time) but a highlight was the arrival of Tigger, Keira’s cat, who joined us on the shoot. I have to say that as a cat lover I had provided a bribe of Dreamies (other cat treats are available) to encourage him onto the set.

It was great to see Keira again today and if you have been hesitating shooting remotely - don’t delay - book Keira today!

Oh my goodness where to start? I could write a book. It really is best to just look through her port and others at her wonderful photographs, they simply speak for them self.

For us, one good thing to come out of this pandemic is that we get to work with people that normally you would not have the opportunity to do so. This was without doubt an epic 2 hours in which you cannot fail to make superb photographs.

Keira has a great understanding of the camera and lighting, she is so committed to making everything work, just watching her buzzing around adjusting lights and camera wears you out.

Her commitment to modelling and creating stunning poses goes beyond professional, she is a magnificent model. We discussed what we wanted to do, she took onboard what I wanted out of the shoot then added her ideas and WOW what a result.

What can I possibly add that 800 plus excellent reference haven't said already apart a from a big thank you to Keira.

Super fun creative remote shoot with Keira, as always pre and post shoot comms handled flawlessly. Having worked a couple of times in person using the remote process presented no difficulties whatsoever. It was lovely to catch up socially and professionally and create some magic.

As I have said before Keira is the most reliable, expressive and personable model to work with, poses and chat flow in a delightful way and her bubbly and engaging personality shines through everywhere; nothing is ever to much trouble in achieving fabulous results.

Full on Keira awesomeness in her best creative style,

As always 100% recommendation.

I had another great remote shoot with Keira again. As always pre shoot communications were great, and plenty of input both before and during the shoot from both sides. I always find it easy to work with Keira, both in person and in a remote shoot, very friendly, easy to chat with and also very professional and keen to ensure the best results possible are achieved too.

I am already looking forward to our next shoot, either in person when its possible again, or, at present more likey remote shoot.

Hope its not too long, its always enjoyable. Heres to the next one.

I highly recommend Keira to any photigraphers.

My first appointment with Keira, arranged at short notice and then quickly got together. To anticipate: a wonderful positively inspiring collaboration, also over the distance.

Yes, it was a tethered or remote shoot, what else in these restrictive times. But Keira technically has everything that is needed and operates it very skillfully.

We started with portraits and this was where her great creativity and expressiveness became apparent. Actually, I could have spent the two hours just doing it ...

But I wanted a little more. Keira quickly moved and changed the set and clothes (which is what the model does in the remote shoot, the photographer can drink tea in the meantime - wonderful times ;-))

Now I saw a slightly seductive Keira, red dressing gown and PVC leggings, who played with the camera and always offered new poses with more or less deep insights and always those beguiling eyes, half covered by sunglasses - yes, she like to play with the camera...

The JPEGs of our event came pretty quickly to "sniff" and a little later the RAW files. What great pictures were made.

Many thanks to Keira for a great remote shoot and also for our conversation on many topics. A lot is working better with humor and friendliness, not only in a remote shoot ;-)

Keira is clearly a recommendation for all photographers - but use Keira's creativity well and you will be rewarded with the best results

Second, remote, shoot with Keira and very strong contender for must colourful shoot of the year! Oh, and Keira owns the world's most camera friendly cat :). We shot a range of images including some on the 'rainbow' stairs (inspired idea) and some rather beautiful bedroom nudes. A most productive and fun shoot with a very professional and accomplished model. Did I mention the rainbow stairs? Hard to know whether next time I should hire Keira as a model or interior design consultant :) If she tours south at some point I may well do both!

I had an amazing shoot with Keira. Not only is she photogenic, but a photo shoot is a lot more than that. She listens and suggests and is a true partner when shooting. It was also so easy to shoot with her--I could have talked to her the whole 2 hrs without taking a shot; there was an immediate connection and I truly enjoyed our whole experience. If anyone wants a friendly, smart and wonderful model get in touch with Keira and I did it all remotely from Chicago! I will definitely be shooting again with her.

Due to work commitments I couldn't do a virtual shoot with Keira so I asked for an e-shoot where Keira takes a selection of images that I could use for practising life/figure drawing and also for practising my black/white Photoshop editing. Communications were perfect, the images were delivered quickly and I was overwhelmed with the diverse range and quality, all were absolutely brilliant. I cannot recommend Keira highly enough.

I have known Keira for a long time and we have had a number of shoots together over the years. Shoots are not currently possible and remote shooting is an alternative to be creative. I have had one remote shoot with Keira - a learning experience for me - which went very well, and I have more lovely images of Keira to add to my collection. I booked a couple of hours remotely with Keira as a trail run but I shouldn't have worried. Controlling the camera remotely is easy and effective. We are arranging a follow up shoot very soon. I recommend remote shooting with Keira without reservation. Go for it.

My first shoot since lockdown 2 and my first remote shoot. Having little idea of how it would work I managed to book one of PP's finest artists. There was a lot of hard work involved; for Keira..... I pressed the shutter button remotely, every now and then and Keira made kind comments. She is as good remotely as in person and everything that I could say about her has been said before.

Remote shooting is cetainly different in a good way and we got some excellent images from a pleasurable morning.........Thank you Keira

Not FIVE MINUTES ago I finished my remote shoot with this brilliant model. I got to experience her modelling talent albeit from behind my computer screen, and I was blown away.

Add her to your remote shoot list, you hear me?!

What is it about Keira that makes her so special. The last time we worked together was December 2019 yet it only seemed like yesterday when we collaborated on this remote shoot. Even though we were miles and miles apart the chemistry and rapport was there as if we were in the same room. I've worked with Keira almost as soon as she joined PP in and I never cease to be amazed at her ability, inventiveness and sheer energy when creating superb poses for me to capture. Despite being so far apart and constrained by the remote set up we nonetheless created some wonderful images, including a FPI, in her home. Working from the lounge, stairs bedroom and bathroom Keira new exactly what type of work I was looking for and using available natural light made sure that I obtained what I wanted without hardly any direction from me.

Thank you Keira for a superb and extremely enjoyable and rewarding shoot. Needles to say I can't recommend Keira highly enough. Here's to the next time hopefully not remote.

I had a second remote shoot with Keira today, as previously, all pre shoot communications were excelent and with lots of input/ideas both before and during the shoot from all sides. There were a variety of ideas and some excellent shots. We are already discussing next time and ideas for future. So, until the next one....

We just teamed up again despite the Covid pandemic to create more artwork together. As travel is impossible at the moment, we took our chance and did a remote shoot. It's not the same as being together in one room, but it's better than many photographers think.

We know each other very well from numerous shoots we have done together, so it was obvious what we want to achieve.

Having a long chat beforehand to go through all the things that have happened since we last met in person and planning exactly what we want to do this time was just perfect.

Even remotely, we nailed the images we were after.

I can't recommend Keira highly enough. Regardless, whether the shoot is in person or remote. She will deliver the most amazing poses.

Thanks again, and I hope that we will work together again soon.

Great to finally shoot with Keira again after nearly 3 years since our first shoot (my fault, should have been earlier). This time it was shooting with Keira remotely as she had done a handful of remotes already. Comms as ever were great and when Keira mentioned she had an idea for our remote shoot I knew Keira was going to deliver a unique shoot experience only she can. I think she created a new niche in Trash fashion using cardboard boxes, paper packing and cable reels to deliver a unique remote shoot within the time. Files were delivered within the timeframe that had been discussed and so glad to have shot with Keira again as I believe I've progressed since our first shoot so it was good to be able to go straight into the shooting as we both knew had we worked.

I've no doubt Keira is going to filling up her calendar with remote shoots quickly due to her constant energy (she had done a four hr remote before mine earlier in the day), skills in makeup and styling plus the various sets she has available to her that she can shoot remotely safely and be creative at the same time. Highly recommended as always and hopefully not so much time till the next time we shoot be it remotely or back in person once it is safe to again.
