As a very inexperienced model compared to some people on PP, working with Kelvin was absolutely incredible.

Right from the start the communication was direct and a plan was in place right away, I was never left concerned or in doubt.

Kelvin was amazing, he drove down to pick me up and was right on time too! Was all kitted out and had a plan of attack for locations even though we had a little difficulty with Covid closures. We had some lovely, funny and I might say peculiar chats too but all a great laugh!

Amazing directions with posing, outfits and makeup, very honest and no messing about. Did not feel uncomfortable changing or making him wait while I topped up on makeup haha.

Even after the shoot, bouncing ideas back and fourth with the photo editing afterwards lead to the most amazing photos I could ever imagine and they honestly exceeded all expectations.

I would recommend Kelvin endlessly.

Can’t wait to work together in the future, or whenever lockdown allows it...

Until then, thank you so much Kelvin!

Made some wonderful shots and such a pleasure to be around.

I had the honour of shooting with Kel yesterday at Sudeley in Gloucestershire. Pre-comms were great - Kel rang me prior to the shoot to discuss themes and ideas so we were both well prepared for the day.

As you can see from his images, Kel has a fantastic eye for style, lighting and angles and is an absolute wizard with Photoshop. During yesterday's shoot we covered some classic beauty shots along with some fantasy poses (a dream of mine). Kel let me do my own thing but was also happy to provide direction when needed. I had so much fun!

I can't recommend Kel enough. A fantastic photographer and fantastic company - a real gent and super easy to get along with. He sent me all the RAW files within a few hours after the shoot and even edited some of the beauty shots on the same day! Any model should feel privileged to work with him.

I adore the images I've received so far and I can't wait to see the results of the fantasy sets!

Thanks so much Kel for a wonderful shoot. I would absolutely love to work with you again in the future.

We had our first shoot together and it was just amazing! Highly recommended!

I was very excited to work with Kelvin as I love his work, so I knew the results will be great. He already sent me all the pics to choose from (same day as the shoot was) and 2 edited ones. Wow! Just wow! Absolutely stunning!

Kelvin has a great personality and an amazing eye to find and choose the locations to use 😃 very professional with amazing knowledge and experience! Made me feel comfortable and safe from the second we met!

Communication before during after the shoot was perfect.

Thank you very much for the fab day! X

Highly recommended!

I loved working with Kelvin, had great fun and I hope we'll work together again ❤️

I met with Kevin for a fantasy themed shoot, which was a shoot concept I was really excited to try. Kelvin was a wonderful photographer with a great eye for a good shot, and great with communication/directions. He was really easy to talk with, so I felt very comfortable and relaxed during/after shooting. Thanks again Kel, hope to work together again in the future!

Kel is a great guy and a fantastic professional photographer who made me feel instantly at ease upon meeting him.

The whole day felt relaxed and fun.

Pre comms was great, Kel rang me before the shoot to have a good chat and run through some shared ideas. As I’m new to modelling and this was my first shoot he gave me great direction and really got involved, teaching me various techniques and angles to capture a good shot. Couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for my first shoot! highly recommend and I’m looking forward to shooting with him again sometime 😊

I had a lovely shoot with Kelvin today in the Wye Valley area - he showed me places that I didn’t even know existed and I’ve lived here for over a year! He’s an amazing photographer who I could tell from the offset was passionate about his work, he has serious attention to detail and knows exactly how to create the perfect shot. He made me feel very comfortable and gave me direction as we went along, also showing me the images every so often. I can tell we’ve got some amazing shots from today and I can’t wait to see them! He’s a really easy guy to get on with which made the day all the more fun and I would seriously recommend him to everyone! 😀

Kelvins communications for this shoot were fantastic, we arranged to meet at his beautiful home where he then drove us both off to the waterfalls. We were fortunate enough to have a stunning day, making getting into the pool not so terrible, just a little fresh ;). I felt relaxed straight away with Kelvin and we chatted a lot about anything and everything! Kelvin gave lots of direction and sent the proofs through that night. There are just so many amazing pictures, I literally cannot pick from them all so I'm sending them back for a helping hand! (he doesn't know yet). I would 100% recommend Kelvin and I cant wait to see the finished edits. Oh and make sure he brings welsh cakes to the shoot....you'll need the energy! :)

I would highly recommend Kelvin to anyone who wants to add great images to there portfolios and also have a great day out!

I had a great shoot with Kel last month in the Brecon Beacons - pre shoot communications were sound and Kel kindly gave me a lift to and from the shoot location.

The shoot was really fun, we explored the waterfalls and woods in the beacons so we ended up having a lovely day out and a chat as well as getting some great photos. Really, it felt like I was meeting up with a friend and we seemed to have a lot in common - I don't think there was ever a silence between conversation!

Kel gave just the right amount of direction - enough so that I felt confident and supported during the shoot without being too directive or pushy which was refreshing.

I have seen some of the images which Kel has spent time meticulously editing and perfecting and he made an effort to send them to me asap which was lovely!

I absolutely recommend working with this photographer

Kelvin and I had a coffee a couple of weeks before our shoot today and we discussed ideas for the shoot. Kelvin is full of amazing ideas and imagination - I love it!

Today's shoot went really well. We met in Starbucks for a cup of tea beforehand to re-discuss ideas we had.

Throughout the shoot, Kelvin helped me a lot with posing and I learnt a lot from him - he is clearly very experienced. He showed me how to position my body to create the best images, and from looking at the back of the camera, I'd say we achieved what we set out for.

If you're looking for a fun, relaxed shoot, I'd definitely recommend Kelvin!

I had my second shoot with Kelvin a few days ago - we had SO MUCH FUN! As before, Kelvin rocked the show and was super professional throughout. We discovered a mutual love for fantasy and I think you'll get an idea of how much fun we had from the photos!! Again, HIGHLY recommended !!! :)

From our first message, kelvin was friendly, polite, and likeable. During our calls before the shoot kelvin put me at ease and run through the plans for the day. On the morning of the shoot kelvin picked me up at 9 on the dot. He was smiling with a friendly voice which I felt instantly comfortable with. On the way in the car to our first location the conversations were flowing and my nerves left me. During the shoot I realised how 'good at what he does' kelvin really is. I learned a lot from him. Kelvin is friendly, funny, easy to talk to, willing to listen to your ideas and valuable to have on a shoot. We went to a few different locations and each one felt like we were sight seeing and having fun. The day run very smoothly apart from when I had a mini panic attack over some cows in a field but kelv was there to save the day. Thankyou. I have planned to work with Kelv again...he's just lovely guys...a true gent! Thanks fora fantastic shoot!! I can't reccomend him enough...his work is awesome. Looking forward to the next one. :)

Kel is such a lovely guy, got on really well with him. We had a very relaxed shoot in a cool location; some castle ruins. I'm very looking forward to our next shoot

Kelvin is such a lovely and professional guy. We spoke on the phone prior to our shoot yesterday which was great and made me feel instantly at ease. The speed that he edited the photos was supersonic, and I can't wait to share them all with you on here!

Highly recommended!! Thanks Kelvin :)

I had my shoot today with this wonderful human being. I am referring to him as that because that should cover his skills, personality, warmth, friendliness, attitude... etc. He showed up on time as well. I recommend him 100%. I felt so comfortable and relaxed with him... he also helped me with tips. I would definitely work with him again. Kel thanks for the lovely shoot! Cannot wait for our next shoot xx
