I had the pleasure of doing my first ever Purpleport photo shoot this weekend with Kelvin. I'm so glad the first shoot I have done through here was with Kelvin as he was brilliant. Great communication before the shoot and we had a good laugh throughout the day. The day started with what was meant to be a quick coffee to talk about the shoot but ended up being a good hour long chat and the rest of the day was very relaxed and enjoyable. Kelvin was very professional and gave me lots of tips and guidance along the way. I am very happy with the final images from the day.

I would highly recommend Kelvin and hope to work with him again in the future! :)

Communication was great before the shoot. Before the shoot we went for a coffee and got to know each other a little and spoke about the shoot. Felt at ease straight away with Kelvin.

Very friendly and professional. Gave me some direction.

Would definitely recommend. Great photographer and images very polished.

Thanks again,

Looking forward to another future shoot!

I had the pleasure of working with Kelvin on a group project for a lingerie designer. The day was a little hectic and full of girly natter but it didn't face Kelvin! He was a pro all day. We had a few models who are new to the industry and needed a little help with positions and he was the perfect gentleman throughout the day, helping with positions and ideas for props. I felt completely comfortable all day.

We got the Raws back and they look amazing. Unfortunately, I had to leave a little early and I wish I didn't now.

They got some beautiful shots and you can see how comfortable the models feel in each image.

I would 100% recommend Kelvin to any model or company needing a photography. He was fantastic and I hope this is one of many shoots we have in the future.

I had the pleasure of working with Kelvin for the first time on a group shoot(1 photographer, 3 other female models and 1 male model/host) to promote some lingerie intended for a 'wedding night' themed project!

Kelvins pre-shoot communications were fantastic and always responded in a timely manner. I instantly felt at ease with Kelvin as soon as I met him and it will clear to see he knew what he was doing with the lighting and pre-shoot set ups which always helps to make me feel at ease.

I prefer to work with direction and Kelvin was happy and capable to do this and his direction communication was great!

A fantastically fun day was had by all and I look forward to working with Kelvin again next weekend :-)

Would highly recommend Kelvin to all model abilities beginner and experienced alike!

I had the chance to work with Kelvin for a wedding lingerie photoshoot along with 3 other girls.

Kelvin very kindly gave me a lift up too the shoot and we had a nice chat in the car about modelling.

Throughout the shoot he was very helpful with giving me direction and showing the images as they were taken.

Pre comms were fab as we hadn't actually met until shoot day! All in all a great day shooting and the pictures are fab!

I would definitely recommend him for a shoot! I hope to be shooting with you again soon!

It was a real honour to work with Kelvin again (like always).

We organised this shoot during our first meeting together and kept in contact as we developed the shoot to make sure we got it perfect. I even got to meet him as a studio opening and he was excited to work with me and help to promote the designer (wedding lingerie). He even managed to reach out to other models and was quick to promote the shoot to get some really great models involved with the day we had planned out. He was kind enough to pick one of the models up and came her with a large stock of lights and flashes and a very open mind of how to get the shoot perfect. I really enjoyed watching him work, being behind the scenes this time, and learning more about set ups, how to look at the bigger picture and how lighting/exposure will pick up on the items rather than it being just a click and shoot sort of job. It was also great to see him then work with the models on a completely different style and produce a really different look whilst still being totally confident and professional to get top quality work.

I truly enjoyed working with Kelvin and really do look forward to building our working relationship to get some amazing shots and challenging ourselves to get some unique and powerful results. Kelvin is a real professional and a gent, both with his written and verbal communication, helping a newbie (me) to be able to work efficiently towards getting the project moving in the right direction. He was an essential part, a major cog in a tricky system so to speak, and enabled me to complete this project that was pushing my buttons - just one shoot made it totally worth all the hard work and will give me better shots than I could have imagined.

I definitely want to continue working with Kelvin and as always - look forward to seeing his other work too.

Thank you Kelvin

Had the pleasure of shooting with Kelvin again this Saturday up in Glynneath's magnificent waterfalls.

Once again had an absolutely wonderful time working with him! He's so friendly, with a cracking sense of humour and so easy to get on with that the time just flew by! He took us (my partner being with us as well) to the most incredible, beautiful places on an adventure hike and then made a roaring fire for me to dry my socks out on while we chilled and planned the next move. I always feel completely comfortable with Kelvin and his utterly incredible photo's and post processing blow me away every time! Had two finished edited images back the same day, a fantastically fun and relaxed shoot and some truly wonderful memories to take away with me.

Thank you for (as always) an unforgettable, lovely day Kelvin!

I had a great shoot with Kelvin in Cardiff Bay on the weekend. It was a wonderful sunny day and although a bit chilly, I truly enjoyed the experience. The shoot was well organized, Kelvin arrived on time and we walked around the area to a few locations, making the most of the gorgeous winter sun.

Kelvin was a delight to work with - professional, knowledgeable and also a kind and lovely person, always making sure I was comfortable and happy :D I adore his spontaneous and relaxed shooting style and it was a pleasure to drink coffee and chat with him between sets. I personally found Kelvin very interesting as a person and could easily talk to him for hours. He provided me with useful tips regarding posing, which I really appreciate and would be putting into practice in the future.

Kelvin is easy to get on, great fun and such a gentleman too. After the shoot we stopped off for lunch which Kelvin kindly treated me to. To top it off, he produced fantastic images and the edits were ready few hours after the shoot! :D I couldn’t be more happier with the results :D

Great photographer, wonderful guy, I cannot recommend him enough and I’m definitely looking forward to any chance to work in the future :D

Thank you again Kelvin!:D

I had my first shoot with Kelvin the other day and it allot of fun and we created some lovely pieces. He made me feel very comfortable and was very professional.

He got on really well not only with me but my mother who accompanied us on the shoot which was wonderful to see.

I strongly recommend him and am looking forward to future potential shoots! :)

I first met Kelvin at a Fuel Your Fire event themed around Quentin Tarrantino and he was an absolute joy to work with!

Full of ideas and very friendly, Kelvin has a great eye for lighting and perspective and we had a good laugh interpreting the theme and recreating scenes from the film. Kelvin has an eye for detail and gives helpful direction when needed whilst also allowing you to do your own thing and give your own creative input.

I utterly love the images he produced from that shoot -particularly the portrait work- and am looking forward to working with him again. I'd happily recommend working with Kelvin to anyone. A professional and talented gentleman you can also have a good laugh with!

I met Kelvin at Fuel Your Fire, Cardiff and he was brilliant to work with. He has a down to earth approach yet willing to try new things. We have started organising a future shoot, and look forward to working with him 1 to 1!
