Keira Lavelle is one of the best models I have worked with. We have done so for a total of 53 shooting days over the past 7 years - from the sun drenched sandy wastes of Namibia to the frozen grandeur of Iceland. She has never disappointed - I have always had fun and the images have always been top drawer. Keira has the full package, looks, physique, acting ability and creative enthusiasm.

The two of us even ended up in the Chester Jail for a few hours - the sin being daring to shoot art nude late at night in a private corner of the city.

Whenever Keira does a tour to the south of the country, she pops into my studio for a few hours of creative fun.

I don't need to recommend this exceptional model - her images speak volumes. Book Keira Lavelle!

How fantastic it was to be able to work with Keira again!

Big thank you, Keira, for being able to arrange quick availability for a morning shoot at my place. It was a cloudy but crisp day - perfect for our shoot. Keira arrived and brought with her a beehive of positive energy and radiation so typical of Keira as I know her to be from the previous times that we've worked together. We did some topless and nude work in the garden using the garden fence and hedge as backdrops. We also used a rubber mat for poses using the hedge as backdrop again. To finish, we decided to use a piano stool as a prop and just go with the flow. All work was done using only natural light with no assisted lighting at all. I preferred Keira to pose as she saw fit, with very little direction and for us to simply to seize the day and flow with the mood as it were. And... this is exactly what Keira did! Her natural beauty and energy transformed the shooting experience into a storybook of awesome poses, fun, laughs and a really enjoyable and positive day. Wow!!!

Keira is incredibly wonderful to work with. Her enthusiasm, creativity and zeal flow through her poses and transform the shooting experience into something quite special and positively extraordinary.

I simply cannot recommend Keira highly enough!!! :)

A few days ago, Storm Keira blew in to West London.

This was my second time shooting with the powerhouse that is Ms Lavelle - a half day in my home studio, shared with Kristin@WestFive.

Once again, pre-shoot comms were first class, and Keira arrived early with a huge battered suitcase jam-packed with a seemingly bottomless supply of outfits.

The lady’s energy and creativity were not diminished by her drive south. Inventive posing, great make up and more, delivered always with professionalism and panache, once again made for a hugely enjoyable shoot.

Keira Lavelle continues to merit the highest recommendation.

I managed to grab a shoot with Keira at Aura studio near Northampton as she made her way down to invade the southwest of England, she was her usual cheerful, chatty self. We made great use of the bright sunshine coming through windows.

This was my 5th shoot with Keira and they get better every time, I just wish I could get to work with her more often.

I would not hesitate to recommend Keira to any photographer/studio.

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.
