He was very patient with me, to try to understand my ideas. He was very good in guiding us and offering ideas and options for using with color gels and smoke. I'm sure, at least for my side I will like to make more projects with him, for sure!!!

I worked with Keith at Burford Manor yesterday and what a pleasure it was! Pre-comms were very clear and specific so I knew exactly what to bring, and Keith arrived full of enthusiasm. We worked through a variety of sets throughout the house and Keith demonstrated his brilliant eye for light and detail. I found him to be warm, relaxed and respectful, and the resulting images are beautiful. I'd be delighted to work with him again and happily recommend him to others.

Just love working with Keith!

He is organised, punctual, professional and always friendly.

This was a different shoot for us as he was photographing a property and not me. The pictures looked amazing and was very happy with them on our website. Keith took time to stage the photo's and made sure everything was on point.

I was so pleased Keith is doing the next one and luckily still wanting to shoot with me the other side of the lens.

Always undoubtedly recommended.

I've had a few shoots in the past, but Keith was one of those photographers I couldn't wait to work with. His photography is outstanding!

Keith came down to meet me in Walton and we shot outdoors, it was cold and it did get dark quickly but he had a flash which made a massive difference. The photos that came out were brilliantly lit and classy, truly stunning!

He's a great guy to work with and very friendly. He sent over all of the edited photos exceptionally quickly, so I was very impressed. His photography is amazing!

I cannot wait to work with him again.

Had a lovely first shoot experience with Keith, which transpired when he contacted me about his "Black Swan" ballet project. This project had been in the works for some time but he had been let down by other models, after he had gone to the trouble of procuring a beautiful "Black Swan" costume, and making a moodboard. He asked if I'd be interested in stepping in. Keith's portfolio is really impressive - he clearly has lovely lighting and creative post- production skills, and his moodboard was intriguing, with the ballet poses being all well within my capability, so I jumped at the chance. Keith also asked if I could do "Black Swan" style eye makeup for the shoot- as in the more extreme makeup used in the horror film as opposed to the traditional ballet stage makeup I'm more used to, so I agreed to try it, as it could help me learn a new makeup skill.

Keith's pre-shoot communications were very thorough, professional, and considerate - he even asked if we could meet pre- shoot to discuss the moodboard images and makeup and styling, which we did- it's not something I've generally done, but Keith was very courteous and it helped to clarify his vision for the shoot. On the day, Keith kindly picked me up and drove me to West Surrey Studio. Neither of us had worked there before, so this was another great first experience- it's a terrific studio.Keith had tethered his camera to his laptop so I was able to see the images as we went along, which I was grateful for, as it helped me to check my ballet positions. We were joined by Keith's friend, who is also a photographer, and she helped, as did Keith, with the eye makeup, with making sure it was symmetrical,it was a joint effort, and also assisted with wafting the black voile Keith brought for the shoot.

Keith quickly set up a private album on Flickr so I could review all images from the shoot, and also select which ones I felt were best from a ballet perspective. I thought that is a really helpful and sensible way of achieving results we can both be happy with. We also met up again to discuss the shoot and go through the images one by one, and I was really impressed by the creative post processing skills Keith demonstrated on his laptop- he kindly showed me how he achieved some of his lovely effects, such as adding snow and background blur- and we discussed exciting possibilities for future shoot adventures.

Highly recommended, and I hope we will work together again. Thank You.x

It was a joy to work with Keith for a second shoot this year. This time it was a maternity shoot which he captured so wonderfully. He very kindly offered this shoot to myself and my partner so we were very grateful for the opportunity to capture this special time.

Keith is always so accommodating and provided us with fruit and water which was just such a lovely touch! He was very understanding when it came to needing frequent breaks too... I would highly recommend working with Keith to any model. You will not regret it :)

I had a lovely Shoot this morning with Keith. Keith was a lovely friendly person. He kindly gave me a lift to and from the Shoot and made sure I was comfortable throughout and that I had plenty to drink. Keith selected a great location that suited the look and concept perfectly. He also came well equipped with Clothing, Boots, Hats etc. He created some fantastic looks that looked amazing with the location and background. The time just flew. I'd highly recommend Keith to any Model, and look forward to working together again soon.

A joy to work with Keith for the first time. He was very professional from start to finish, excellently organised, and easy to arrange and communicate with; I knew what to expect, making the shoot go smoothly. He's an incredibly talented photographer, and I am very happy with the shots we got together.

He was great to talk to while shooting, things were laid back but productive. We got through a number of different sets together during the booking.

Highly recommend to any model :)

I had a wonderful shoot with Keith on my London tour earlier this week. What a pleasure it was! Keith was so friendly and lovely, he created a very relaxed atmosphere to work in.

Keith captured some wonderful images and I’m super happy with the results. I’d love to work with him again in the future. Thank you Keith!

Where do i begin… Keith kindly accepted my application for his casting and I am so pleased he did! His pre communication was clear and in depth, in turn making my preparation for the shoot very easy.

Upon arrival Keith was friendly, bubbly, professional and welcoming which ticks every box for a successful shoot! He is very easy to get along with and he gives clear instructions. Keith went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable and happy throughout the shoot and even provided refreshments.

We used every aspect of the room we shot in and his knowledge of lighting is fantastic, the raw images looked spotless! My only wish is that we had longer to shoot together, the time flew by.

I would love the opportunity to shoot with Keith again and I would recommend working with him in a heartbeat.

Thank you for a great afternoon!

I had a great shoot with Keith. He had lots of interesting ideas, was patient, gave great re-direction, and a fantastic photographer to work with. I would definitely recommend Keith! Thank you!

I shot with Keith for the first time at my flat and nearby park and really enjoyed working with him. He was laid back, chatty, professional and made me feel confident and relaxed throughout the shoot. He had a couple of ideas planned and was also up for shooting any ideas I had. Communication before the shoot was great and he came prepared with different lighting set ups and outfits. I felt that we were able to bounce ideas off each other, developing a range of different concepts throughout a relatively short shoot. He trusted me to flow through poses and characters as well as giving helpful direction. I was pleasantly surprised with how creative he managed to get with the limited space we had in my living room, making each set of images look completely different. I would love to shoot with Keith again and would definitely recommend him to other models!

I had a really great first shoot with Keith. It was a fantastic experience!He plan a shoot perfectly, to show a story behind the images.

We shoot at my home studio in East London. The theme of the shoot was Valentine as it was just one day before Valentine's day :) We also used my handpainted backdrop for some of the images.

All the communication before the shoot was perfect same as during the shoot. Keith arrived to my location on time very well prepared, full of lights, outfits, fruits to use for the shoot and other stuff.

We worked through a few different sets, his photography and lighting skills are perfect. All images behind the camera looked fantastic!

Keith is a gentleman and he was making sure I was okay during the shoot.

I really enjoyed our shoot. We had some great conversations and laugh :)

Thank you so much for a fantastic afternoon and hopefully we will work together again soon :)

Almost everything that could have gone wrong did after Keith selected me out of countless applicants for his dreamy Luxury Vintage casting.

He allowed me to order some garments I thought would be fitted for the shoot, and after his payments had gone through, I realized the things I chose were not in the correct taste. I waited until the day of the shoot to get my train tickets, and would have saved if I got them weeks in advance when I first got casted - so was hit with a big bill, which was even more a shame because there were plenty of models very local to our location who also applied. And he chose me, from far, far away...

The location itself is something of dreams. It was an absolute peak luxury experience, bordering on fantasy in it's high arts decor and whimsy throughout. There were meals provided and a separate guest house accomodations paid for ontop of my rate.

During the shoot, my near spotless record, formula, habits... were challenged for the first time. We had a misunderstanding about what was expected of each other in terms of photographer and model. We had both ran things without issue otherwise in our careers... but together, experienced a clash where he was expecting a model to follow instruction and not free form pose (which I thought was lazy modelling) and I expected him to have hired me for posing ability, and only give needed instruction (which he thought was lazy photography.) Of course all shoots are meant to be a combination of the two, but we sure struggled to find that balance at first, and I brought it up.

He handled it with maturity and grace. I was puzzled as to how the situation should be handled as it was so abnormal for me. But he was able to work through the difficulty I was having, and after withstanding all the other bumps in the road, he was still capable of extending sincere patience and an eagerness to complete the project. We met up again in the morning to shoot some natural light - he was under strain but it didn't show. He can truly bring around a disaster into a positive outcome. This man should be desired on any creative team.

If you can take good direction, if you enjoy a photographer who knows exactly what he wants, then consider yourself lucky to work with Keith. He's a fun, wonderful person capable of offering so much - just know you might have to be yeilding if you, too, are quite particular in your craft.

I hope to work with him again soon.

I worked with Keith recently over two days at the most beautiful boutique hotel on the edge of the Cotswolds in Wiltshire and had such a wonderful shoot! What an incredible find it was! It was such a stunning and enjoyable place to shoot and steeped in character with log fires, paintings, stone-walls and period furniture throughout; a photographer and models absolute dream.

It was a complete joy to model here over the couple of days and I had such a fabulous time! The bedroom suite Keith had chosen was absolutely perfect for Old Hollywood and Boudoir and Keith arrived with a HUGE assortment of the most amazing high quality photographic equipment, lighting and softboxes- a photographers dream!

Keith also bought along a large assortment of lingerie and stockings for the photoshoot tailored to the rooms colour scene and his eye for detail and quality was perfect, he is a fabulous stylist and introduced me to new lingerie and a brand I hadn't considered before.

Keith has such an incredible eye for setting the scene and backdrop and coordinated the shoot around this. He puts so much effort into the direction of the shoot; like a director of a movie set - and ensured that the lighting was set up beautifully.

Keith aims for shooting quality over quantity which means that the model has more time to apply makeup and styling whilst he assembled the lighting and camera, which was so refreshing! It was a pleasure to shoot at a more relaxed pace than what I am accustomed to! :) Keith gave great direction and was professional, very respectful and kind throughout.

I am always a little nervous working with photographers for the first time (even after all of these years!) but I found Keith extremely kind, welcoming and great company. He always made sure I was comfortable and was happy to share images both during the shoot and afterwards.

Would I recommend Keith? ABSOLUTELY! He is really passionate about photography, has an amazing eye for detail and puts his heart and soul into the project. I really hope to work together again in the future and can highly recommend to all models and creatives. Thankyou for a wonderful couple of days and I greatly look forward to seeing the results!
