"Keira - please bring some clothes", I asked, as it was our first shoot together and I don't shoot nude. I needn't have worried - two warehouse-sized suitcases turned up with a model between them!

It was great to meet Keira and to work with her for the first time. She is friendly and easygoing, keen to get stuck in (literally - I turned my back for a minute and when I looked around she was in a lake) and able to do different styles of make-up and hair very easily. Good to bounce ideas off and athletic when climbing trees. What's not to like?

I hope to work with Keira again soon, would heartily recommend to other photographers :)

Over the years I have worked with many fanastic models along with more than a few rubbish ones BUT today I worked with Keira who must rank very high on my list of the best models it has been my pleasure to shoot for the first time not only is she a lovely person and a beautiful young lady she also is great to chat with as well. The 4 hours flew by which is always a sure sign of a great shoot.

Thank you very much Keira hope to see for a 2nd shoot next time you are down south

This was the third time I've shot with Keira and once again, I'm truly delighted with the images I got. This time the shoot had been arranged by Keira at Joel Hicks Photographic studio and I got to see another side of Keira's diverse repertoire as most of the shooting took place inside in the studio. Once again Keira did an amazing job of coming up with one brilliant pose after another. She also really knows her way around the studio and was able to help me set up lights and point them in the right direction.

Needless to say it wasn't long before Keira was hanging upside down doing her amazing naked gymnastics tricks on the thickest piece of rope I've ever seen. In the process, she managed to get rope burns on the backs of her legs. But after applying a bit of cream, she was back in her stride for another five hundred-or-so shots.

As well as doing all the poses, she also knew how to attache the rope to loops in the ceiling and tie knots - another of her many skills.

Once again, I've come away with three memory cards full of some of the best images ever to come out of my camera. Thanks Keira for an excellent day.

I had another shoot yesterday with Keira, as always it was an absolute pleasure and we had an extremely productive 4 hours.

Keira is a veritable maelstrom of creative energy, she simply engulfs you with her sheer enthusiasm and dedication. She can pose in a wide array of styles and contorts herself into many awkward situations regardless of weather, dust, dirt, water, discomfort etc, added to this a readiness to accept direction it makes her a model who is very easy to work with.

I have no qualms in highly recommending Keira to all, and would look forward to working with her again soon.

The Mad Hatter

Well, this was the third time Keira and I have worked together and that certainly says something. I should add a few words of warning. This lady is addictive.

This lady is also crazy, beautiful, creative, bold, funny, hardworking and very, very talented. Keira never ceases to amaze, but when she persuaded me to work at Joel's place in November, I thought this ain't going to work. The studio is one of the best outdoor venues I have used but today, we were scheduled for 2:30pm onwards by which time it was 6 degrees centigrade outside and becoming colder.

This didn't stand in Keira's way and we went on to create some beautiful outdoor images as a result.

The fun continued when we retired indoors to produce more amazing work by this lady.

She comes with a warning, not for the faint hearted! She is also one of the best creatives on the circuit and if you ain't shot with her then, well... you are missing a quite awesome experience.

I so love the time I spend working with Keira, an exceptional talent.

Recommended like utter crazy!

The story continues. This time it was a 3 hour shoot at Joel Hick's place, Keira is a fantastic model and I never tire of working with her. She is so energetic and enthusiastic & easily creates some imaginative and beautiful poses without direction but Keira is always keen to work, and work hard, to listen to your suggestions. Used her beautiful hand made jewellery to good effect in a number of poses.

No need to say Keira is very highly recommended.

Thank you and here's to our next shoot.

Third time lucky? Oh yeah!

My third shoot with this ball of inspirational energy and probably better than the previous two which I find amazing.

We thought we had established a pattern that gave us results we wanted but no; we rolled into uncharted territory and it worked.

Ideas aplenty, fun and chat in oodles, non-stop creativity. I need a rest now until the next time.

Keira does not need a recommendation as she is constantly there in NEON. BOOK KEIRA NOW!!!!

Finally got to shoot with the lovely Keira today after finally getting our diaries in line ( thanks to the person who had to cancel) and boy was it worth the wait! Brilliant pre shoot comm's a warm welcome with a big smile and felt like I had known her for years.....probably due to the time we had been trying to arrange a shoot. This girl gives it all and then some! Great fun, great personality and makes a half descent cup of tea too. I had a couple of ideas before the shoot which Keira leapt at and all over my land rover to boot which I knew she would be great at and pulled off some stunning poses. We also shot in the workshop area at Joel Hicks and the studio too. All in all a fantastic shoot where time flew! lets not leave it so long next time ;-)

Highly recommended.

Finally I can add my name to the legion of Keira followers and referees!

We shot for the first time together at Joel Hick's and she more than lived up to my high expectations for the afternoon. Keira is dynamite!

She is an utterly charming young lady and fearless when 'getting that shot'. I hope I have done her justice with my image captures.

If you work with this fabulous model be cautious because she will not! She is in high demand but the 'Keira experience' is not to be missed!

This was a wonderful shoot I hope to repeat soon. Thank you x.

I had my third shoot with Keira at Joel Hick's studio near Leicester. A fantastic shoot and I am really pleased with the results. Keira poses well, has great ideas and take directly easily. She is professional and a pleasure to work with. I look forward to working with Keira again.

Highly recommended. Thank you Keira.

I was able to catch a two-hour cancellation with Keira at Joel Hicks studio. I wish it had been a longer session!

We managed an hour's shoot outside while there was (just) enough light and then an hour in the studio. Keira kept up a cracking pace throughout the two hours and we managed nine different sets and ideas. She moves beautifully from pose to pose and needs very little direction, though she is very responsive to ideas. And she can really move and model...

Keira had what looked like half a ton of clothes and gear with her (though she is such a brilliant nude model that she didn't wear too much for the two hours!) and she's a real trooper. She clambered into a tractor, posed on a JCB digger, stood on mud, got bitten by midges (sorry, Keira, my fault for picking that site!) and then was blasted by an industrial-strength blower. Took it all in her stride and I came away with some great shots. In my humble opinion, of course. :-)

Thoroughly recommended, top-class model.

Keira and I have worked together twice before, and on both occasions she did an amazing job. However one was a commercial brief and the other an organised fashion/group outing. We made some great images on both of those sessions, and knew I needed to work with Keira on a full creative shoot with no brief :)

We finally got it together down at the extensive Joel Hicks Photographic site for a full day's creative shooting!

Keira is a complete, one-stop shop - modelling machine. Not only can she throw amazing poses and shapes, and a full range of expressions, she has an instinctive feel for the images we're creating and what's required to perfect the look. Direction is easy with Keira - she speaks fluent hand signal, and photographer gibberish :P (tilt your head, move your whole self this way, look out towards the Welsh border.. :P ) Keira's hair and makeup skills are excellent too. Many models can do good makeup, but the hair-up look Keira created for our first set was outstanding, with perfect lips and eyes to match.

Her commitment and professionalism is second to none both on and off-set, from pre-shoot preparation and communication to her work rate and physical effort in front of the camera. I have to say I probably didn't stretch her amazing repertoire of athletic skills and you only have to look at her port to see the range of contortions she can achieve. She is one tough model and will take on shots many models would think twice about ( and there was no way I was getting in that lake in November :-/ )

Now if that isn't enough, when she's not shooting or down the gym working out Keira makes her own accessories - including some amazing body jewellery - all hand soldered.

Thank you for an amazing shoot Keira. It was so productive, and I know we'll shoot again. If you get the chance to work with this awesome model - take it! Your port will thank you :)

This Little Miss Madam does something to me - Maybe she is a witch and casts a spell. Something happens to me and my camera when I point it at her - images with a rare, raw sensuality just pop out.

Keira is just exceptional.

I LOVE working with her !!

This was the second time I have worked with Keira at Joel Hicks Photographic and once again it was a really enjoyable experience. Keira is really the friendliest person, full of energy and really enjoys the modelling game and goes all out to ensure that the photographer gets the most creative and quality images possible. Keira has a great understanding of the studio, helping to set up and position lights and also the industrial wind blowing machine which she set up for the last set. In terms of modelling ability she is outstanding coming up with one brilliant pose after another and has such a diverse repertoire of styles it is amazing. Will certainly be planning another shoot with Keira in the near future and hopefully get some great images in the grounds, perhaps in the lake, on top of a vehicle or up a tree the possibilities are endless, so that’s something to look forward to. Thanks Keira for a fantastic shoot

I shot with Keira at the weekend and she was fun to work with. An outdoor location shoot that was on the brink of being ruined by the unforecast weather was turned around into something more creative!

Very professional, and very relaxed on shoot!

REV JACKSON

Thanks for a great fun, creative shoot Keira,I really enjoyed it and will definitely shoot again in the near future :) x

Keira and I organised a shoot while she was down in the London area. Her communication befiore the shoot was excellent and we finalised everything a few days before the shoot to double check everything. On the day she messaged letting me know how far away she was and when she arrived she was ready to jump straight into the shoot.

Keira is a fun, sweet creative person who is not afraid to try anything that was asked. She was so enthusiastic and we got on really well and I really enjoyed her company and ideas.

I gave little to no direction while we shot and I am very pleased with what we got and cannot wait to edit to see how it comes out. She is great to work with and I know whoever shoots with her will not be disappointed.

Fun and creative what more can you want! Highly recommended

Keira is an absolute joy to shoot with, she is so accomplished in everything she does. Her creative talent and experience shine through in all the poses she presents to camera, and she switches smoothly between styles and moods. Dedicated and professional, and she's a lovely person who is very easy to work with.

Very highly recommended to everyone.

Seeing Keira post a casting in my area I had to book as these chances come along all to rarely.

It was great to meet a smiley Keira for the first time and after a chat over a coffee we walked our shoot location and got started. Wow, what a bundle of energy and creative talent Keira is! Her effortless and natural posing flowed forth in a manner that shouted total professional. I particularly enjoyed how Keira gave such variety to both her poses and facial expressions within any given set-up.

Recommended? Absolutely. The combination of a stunning look and a determination to get a great picture means you really cannot go wrong with Keira...

Third shoot with this little bundle of energy. Gets better everytime!
