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 the pleasure of working with Keith recently and I can wholeheartedly recommend him. His professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail were evident throughout the entire shoot. He was also very responsive, accommodating, and respectful in communication, ensuring that everything was planned and executed seamlessly. I would not hesitate to work with him again in the future.

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!

Keith attended one of my workshops at the weekend. Lovely guy, really easy to get on with and was super helpful with his knowledge of Canon cameras ( an area I am sorely lacking ). Clearly a very good photographer himself, it was a pleasure to have him attend one of my workshops and he contributed massively to the group. I would 100% recommend any model to work with him and hope to shoot with him again soon.

Keith attended the natural & speed-light workshop I was modelling for and was run by Modelogrphy on here.

Keith was fantastic to have on the group. A team member, super down-to-earth and easy to work with, happy to help others and upon all he is such a nice person.

Very happy to highly recommend to other models of course :)

Keith was an absolute joy to shoot with. Gave great directions and had ideas for how to make a look that bit more interesting. A relaxed and fun vibe, producing high quality images at the end. Highly recommended and would love to work with again.

I am very happy with my shoot with Keith, that was the best morning shoot I have ever had. Keith organised everything perfectly, we had an enjoyable and comfy ride to the beach in the morning and got there on time all happy and ready to shoot. That was absolutely worth of it,the location was amazing, and the most important thing I throughoutfully enjoyed the company of Keith and his manner of shooting. Keith is a professional and polite photographer, who has his own style and always cares about the quality of the photos and the results as the consequence of it. Keith came up with some interesting ideas,we tried a lot of different outfits catching first warm waves of pleasant morning light. I spent time shooting with Keith with quality,and I can say that was also a great experience for me. I am still thrilled with positive emotions and can't be grateful Keith enough.

Thanks Keith,looking forward to shooting with you again

Highly recommended, 100%

Keith called upon my help for a wedding he was the photographer for. It is always great to work with Keith! He is professional, lovely and very easy to work with.

The briefing was very helpful and how much Keith trusted me with his camera! We had a great time. The wedding party are very happy with the images taken and edited by Keith.

I will always recommend Keith, just a lovely person to work with.

Girl on Fire - Lydia

I had the absolute dream and pleasure to shoot abroad with Keith over 3 days in Italy. Keith is so kind, caring and really looked after me throughout the days and not to mention the photos and ideas he created were incredible!

His vision is so good! He saw an old scooter and instantly set up a scene that had me sitting with a basket of lemons on the back of the scooter overlooking a stunning Italian mountain backdrop.

I am so happy with the photos and would 100% recommend him to anyone!!

Looking forward to shooting with you again!

Thank you so much,

GOF

I had a pleasure to shoot with Keith over a couple of days in Italy. Keith is such a warm and friendly person. Very sincere and funny! On a personal level he deserves a prize for best jokes and excellent driving skills under a lot of pressure from crazy Italian drivers and narrow roads 😂. As a photographer he is full of ideas, makes you feel very relaxed and at ease. He is very open to collaboration and creative input. And very quick with getting the pictures ready and mastered. Super easy going. Will definitely shoot with him again!

Keith accompanied myself, Ken and Agata and Girl on Fire on a trip to the beautiful Amalfi coast, Italy in March. Keith's sense of humour, his superb driving skills and his occasional Michael Caine mixed with a bit-of-the-Italiano made this trip. After one day of driving, I told him straight, I didn't want to drive, actually, that I could not drive on account of the number of maniacs coming at us. Keith coped so well, was so cool under pressure and we always managed to get to the location unscathed thanks to him. He's a nice guy to have around on a shoot too, personable, knowledgable and thoughtful to all. So much of the trip was an adventure, from walking around the market in Naples, happening upon abandoned houses, to standing on a high vantage point overlooking the isle of Capri, we had a great time. I would go back in a heartbeat and I definitely recommend working with Keith.

Keith was one of three photographers on a one week photo trip to Italy. He is easy going and excellent company. Apart from being an outstanding cook, he is also an excellent driver, something that counts for a lot on Italy's roads.

Anica

Wow, what an amazing first shoot with wonderful Keith! He replied to my casting as I had an access to a stylish apartment in Central London and I am so happy that he did.

Pre shoot com was fantastic, he is very professional, talented photographer, worked very well with my male friend too - clearly was very experienced in that field and my male model friend was very impressed with Keith too. I enjoyed whole new experience shooting sensual fashion with someone else together and being creative. We have covered a few different styles and sets on that day and he clearly got the best out of me. The time flew by so fast as we were having so much fun and very happy with images that I could see so far. Thank you Keith for a fantastic Sunday and looking forward shooting again in a near future 😘🌟

Keith was an absolute Professional with my colleague Roberta and myself. We had a fantastic shoot in Fulham. Keith put us very much at ease, was patient and calm and talked us through our poses as 1920s Flapper Girls. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
