I've been trying to sort out a shoot with Keira for a long time (actually seven years, I found). So I was really pleased to find this opportunity at Auraphotographic. In two hours we were able to explore a lot of new ideas for stereo photography in a natural light studio. Keira is amazing. She took the ideas that I'd outlined and worked them through: simple portraits, exploring diaphanous material, talking to a dummy head and floor based nude shapes. All with extrovert body language that I'd asked for. I've always wanted to work with Keira in a landscape context and look forward to that as soon as we can arrange it. I was introduced to a new tea as part of the shoot. Highest recommendations! Thank you Keira.

Had the most fabulous shoot with Keira today at Kempston studio. I have been wanting to shoot with her for ages and she exceeded all expectations!

She is super lovely, down to earth, absolutely gorgeous with a figure to die for and an absolute joy to work with.

She knows exactly what will showcase her abilities to the best advantage - the only problem is fitting them all into one studio session.

From acrobatic poses, body shapes, standing and lying bodyscapes (and NOBODY does bodyscapes like Keira - they seem anatomically impossible!) to art nude and her custom made body jewellery, costumes and anything else you can throw at her - she is supreme.

4 hours was far too short and was most enjoyable and we chatted and joked throughout.

I am hoping she is returning soon and I shall be first in line.

I think that's a recommendation? Thank you Keira!

To think it was 7 years since I first shot with Keira as a hobbyist photographer and now to welcome her to my studio today was a real honour and pleasure. Still as friendly and energetic as I remember and perhaps even more beautiful with dark hair and an amazing figure that doesn't just happen over night. Unfortunately this time I wasn't shooting with her and another photographer had the honour.

But I will be actively trying to get Keira back here to shoot with myself in between her world tour.

I'm really sure that words cannot describe how pleased I was to host Keira today and 7 years has been very kind to one of us at least!

Some of the back of camera stuff today was a joy to see.

Highly highly recommended but get in line please, behind me of course! If it's 7 weeks until we next meet then that will just about be tolerable!

Great to see you again Keira

A rapid positive response by me to Keira’s idea for a meet up at Two Wei today on the first day of her mini tour. I find it very difficult to miss the opportunity to work with her yet again as she is simply magic. Great talent, great personality, a real grafter with super spontaneity and an exceptional model. We had a wonderful half day at a superb location and had a great time creating some images that we’re a little bit pleased with. Will no doubt be working with Keira again soon and she is very highly recommended once again. Thank you Keira, awesome day x

On Tuesday I had my second remote shoot with Keira and what a fun experience it was. As has come to be expected, everything went very smoothly from good comms at the outset through to a prompt delivery of the finished images.

We started off in Keira's studio space utilising both continuous and natural light trying a number of differing styles and ideas.

Towards the end of the season, Keira returned to her house in an attempt to get some shots including Tigger, her resident cat,. However, despite the attempt at bribing with "Dreamies", Tigger, being a natural cat, decided not to play ball. Despite that, it was a most enjoyable shoot and hopefully, the next time I work with Keira it will be back to being face to face.

As before - highly recommended!

Part 2 of our latest remote shoot. Slightly less gaudy than part 1; concentrating on Keira's amazing talent at shape shifting. She was of course amazing and knew what I wanted better than I. Can't wait to shoot again in person. And talk about cats.The most amazing model. If you have not shot with Keira you must be mad.

Short version: If Carslberg made models, they would have made Keira!

Longer version: Perfect pre-shoot comms with bags of ideas and suggestions, clear previous experience, and genuine excitement about the shoot. I knew from the first exchange of messages that she was going to make it a great shoot!

Keira bought enough outfits and accessories that she could have opened a High Street fashion shop, and all of it matched the ideas we had discussed.

We did a few sets with Hollywood golden era type portraits where Keira was energetic, funny, keen, helpful, constantly on the ball, and able to interpret my sometimes vague idea brilliantly! I was doing some experimentation with filters, vaseline and tights, and rather than just smile politely and wait while I faffed about, she excitedly shared her own experiences and what could have become a bit of a techno-job became a collaborative project where we were "feeding of each other's ideas". The result is a large set of images that goes beyond what I had considered and really "fired me up" with creativity.

Following this, Keira gave me a master class in how to make bodyscapes. I knew she's the queen of this, but not in my wildest imagination had I expected to get the type of results she enabled. She made it seem effortless and easy, with her doing all the hard work. Wow!

Another remote shoot with Keira on the last day of her Valentine themed shoots at her studio. She has so much energy, I was left reeling. Keira actually does not need a photographer at all, she is so skilled but she seems content to let mere mortals come along for the ride. Keira is amazing which everybody knows and every shoot is a brief priveleged journey into her crazy mind. I was left dazed and wanting to come back for more. A true force of nature.

My first shoot with Keira and I can’t really express how fabulous it was. Keira is so talented and creative. Super bright and bubbly and just great fun to chat with. Very down to earth and very keen to provide the photographer with the options they want. Very collaborative and able to add value to all aspects of the shoot.

Keira is outstandingly beautiful and poses like an absolute demon. Completely nails it every time.

Images from the shoot arrived the same evening and totally blew me away. Superb.

I can’t recommend Keira enough.

2W Location

It must have been one of Keira’s mini-tours, either that or I’d eaten an extra helping of spinach for breakfast, as her best friend - the tour suitcase - was not nearly as heavy as before - perhaps she’d decided to use our sink and not pack her own?

This lady comes well prepared, albeit this time without a sink, and as such you can expect to be able to capture a vast array of styles in addition to her most creative poses.

Keira is the real deal, a fantastic, professional model who gives it at least 110% all of the time - the only problem you’ll possibly have is keeping up with her ;)

Recommended unreservedly by team TwoWei.

See you soon :)

I just had my 3rd remote shoot with Keira and couldn't have been happier. Each time it gets better, possibly because we know each other better and can work off one another. Keira is an artist and knows what she wants yet is more than willing to collaborate with the photographer so we can both get what we want. It's certainly a pleasure to work with her and I urge anyone who wants a talented and smart and friendly and knowledgeable artist to work with to get in touch with Keira. I just wish I could shoot in person with her. Keira, we will shoot again soon. Take care.

James Box

Yet another fantastic shoot with Keira!

Remote again, and we shot partly her themed Valentines sets, partly with creative ideas on the spur of the moment.

Remote shooting is something Keira does extremely well.

Themed set was amazing, and Keira just brings it! I can’t add much more to the positive things already said about her.

I think it’s highly likely we will shoot again, so it’s obvious I can highly recommend Keira!

I worked with Keira last week for the first time on a remote shoot, and was delighted with the results--far too many great photos to pick just a few!

She was ready from the beginning, well-prepared for the concepts we had discussed (and cheerfully suggested enhancements I hadn't thought of). Cheerful throughout the entire session with a ton of energy from start to finish. And if it isn't obvious from her portfolio, she has a huge range of expression and posing.

My only regret is that I'm too far away to work with her in person. But I'm thrilled to have worked with her remotely, and look forward to more in the future.

I'd wanted to shoot with Keira for some time, but she's a very popular model and arranging something proved difficult. I had a cancellation today, contacted Keira, and, at last, we managed a shoot.

Keira arrived with the largest suitcase I've ever seen and I'm still regretting my offer to carry it up to the bedroom. Anyway, she came fully prepared with a costume for every occasion and matching shoes to go with each outfit...

Keira is a delightful person and fun to talk to. She has a degree in marine biology and we had some interesting chats about conservation and ecology while shooting. Moreover, her knowledge of model photography is very extensive and I gained a lot of insight into the modeling world.

I'm relatively new to home shooting and umbrella flash photography, and Keira gave me some lessons in body parts photography. That was immensely, well... illuminating. Thanks for that!

I very much enjoyed our shoot. Keira is a lovely model, very professional and she really loved being photographed. She has a wide range of experiences and has travelled the world (including to the Namibian desert which is at the top of my bucket-list).

Keira is strongly recommended.

My first time getting meet & work with Keira in person and wow, she is incredible and after chatting for so long I really was pleased to get the chance to shoot together as part of a group shoot at tankspace.

What a charming and fabulous lady! I can't wait for the chance to shoot with her again :)

Dave Gibson

My first remote shoot with Keira, the time just flew by! Keira is such an easy person to talk too, so knowable, professional and just fly’s around her studio rearranging things with ease.

Looking forward to shooting with her again later in the year!

Highly recommended

Keira had some last minute remote availability and I thought it would be a creative way to round of the year. I don't tend to shoot a lot now unless it's a theme or style I've not tried before so with Keira you will get those, "I have an idea" conversations when discussing a shoot and, as usual, Keira's ideas do go out there, but you know you are working with a model that wouldn't suggest an idea if she couldn't produce great results. We shot some Christmas themed shots for the first half of the shoot with Keira posing by a Christmas style set and then posing under and through Christmas style wrapping (yep, I said before she had an idea :) ).

The second part of the shoot we did some bodyscapes as I hadn't shot anything like that either in person or on a remote. I had seen results Keira had done both for in person and remote shoots doing bodyscapes so it was good to be working with someone who could produce epic bodyscapes and take you through the process of how she does them. Keira has sold me on bodyscapes as it was something I would like to have tried out before, but it being one of those styles that, either in person or remotely, you are shooting a model's body very close up at times. Once we had got the settings down, Keira posed away and we got some great images.

It is always a great and creative experience when you shoot with Keira and I look forward to shooting with her again in the future. Highly recommended as ever. Just know when you hear, "I have an idea" from Keira you will be in for a fun, creative shoot.

I have shot with Keira lots of times and it is always an exhilerating experience.

This was the first remote shoot and I am very hooked on these sort of shoots.I enjoy the challenge of shooting, in what is often, a tight space, but we had the bonus of a heavy snowfall. This meant we spent time shooting Keira rolling in the snow, throwing snowballs and climbing into the hot tub as well as all sorts of stuff in the house.

As ever, Keira is a delight to shoot with and I have come away with hours of playtime with the images we got.

A bonus in this world of lockdown boredom.

I recommend Keira to all photographers and I am wondering what life will throw at us and where we will shoot next as a result of it all.

Thank you Keira for a great shoot and also your Remote Shoot expertise which went very smoothly and I got my images as fast as I could download them plus an instant download of jpegs for instant satisfaction..
