I've lost count of the amount of shoots I've had with this wonderful gentleman, but each one just gets better and better. Our most recent was a revisit to a warrior themed remote shoot in a nearby woodland to my home.

Kevin's communications both via messaging and on the live video chat are super clear and he goes above and beyond to make sure his point is put across, this means we instantly get great shots!

On top of this, he's wonderful to work with! Kevin is polite and professional, yet conversation is easy, and we get lost having a catch up.

During our recent shoot Kevin was mindful that it was early morning and I was literally rolling around in the dirt, so reassured me regular warm up breaks were totally necessary.

I think its important to add as well that Kevin's post processing ability is superb, you can see the back of camera of one shot and it might end up totally different - it's phenomenal.

Thankyou for another great remote shoot! I'll see you next week :)

Angel :)

My first remote shoot and first time at PGD Studios and first time working with Kevin. It was insightful for me and helpful to do, I enjoyed our shoot I think we worked well together to achieve some great shots. I really like Kevin's style he captured me in my best light and I would happily work with him again. We got through a lot of sets in the 4 hour booking and utilized the space, making most of the time we had. Kevin was easy to work with and he clearly knows what he is doing with lighting with a vision of what he wants to capture which is refreshing and as a model comforting to have faith in the photographer to be tasteful in shots as it can be challenging when doing art nude it is delicate to get the shot just right, never mind a remote shoot relying on help from others. I feel today was successful and he filled me with confidence in his capability as a photographer - definitely recommend Kevin ☺️

I had the pleasure of working remotely with Kevin at PGD studio in Leicester.

Communications were great, clear, full of necessary information ... which made organising a shoot very efficient and stress free.

Kevin’s ideas were clear and it made it easier for me to select specific items to tailor outfits for certain looks to fit the criteria.

He was lovely to work with, nice clear direction (impressively through a screen!) aha ... and overall good fun to work with.

I’d work with him again - recommended :)

I worked with the wonderful Kevin for the second time at my home studio "Heavenly Bodies Studio" on a remote photoshoot and had such a wonderful time!🌹

Kevin set the theme for the day which was "remote kind-of Victorian" and provided a fantastic mood board of images that I could create wardrobe and styling from to suit the shoot! We worked together alongside "Roger More" who was lighting and camera assistant for the duration of the shoot! :)

We started the photography session in our home making the most of our grandfather clock and bookcase as backdrops to suit the theme and then headed to the studio and garden to continue our adventure! We even managed to miss a few showers and the photographs looked wonderful!

Kevin gave perfect direction and feedback on the day and I had such an enjoyable and creative shoot!

Kevin is a very patient, kind respectful gentleman who I can recommended highly to all. I loved his company so much that it was lovely to have a natter after the shoot! Thankyou for a lovely day, Helen x

Had a fantastic remote shoot with Kevin after he contacted me with a very detailed summary of his shoot idea. Pre shoot comms were fantastic including sorting the studio from across an ocean. On the shoot, Kevin was absolutely lovely and great at giving directions in opposite. Hope we get to work together again!

I recently had a pleasure of working remotely with Kevin from my home turf Fareham Studio, and it might have been one of my favourite remote shoots to date! Kevin's pre-comms were excellent - we bounced ideas, discussed lighting, styling and angles but still left room for creativity to strike on the day. The 4 hours just flew by and the images I've seen so far are beautiful. I'd be delighted to work with Kevin again and happily recommend him to others.

Another great remote shoot with Kevin

Such a nice guy to speak to & always has some very creative ideas.

This time the theme was "SteamPunk" so we got together a few props along with the array of props & outfit Ashleigh brought along with her & had a fab fun day

Always a pleasure to work with Kevin & we look forward to hosting him again in the future.

I once again had the pleasure to work with Kevin on another remote shoot, this time on a different project! He sent a very detailed mood board of outfit suggestions over in advance, which were ordered and arrived ready for the shoot day. The main shoot was split between "light" and "dark" and Kevin absolutely nailed each one!

His pre shoot communications are genuinely the best on PP, he's very detailed which is super useful. During the shoot itself, he was very happy to go with the flow capturing stunning images as we went.

Kevin isn't afraid to change camera settings and does so effortlessly. He's polite and professional and such a down to earth person - it really is a pleasure to work with him.

It was yet another fabulous shoot and I look forward to seeing the edited shots!

Thankyou for a great shoot!

I have lost count of how many wonderful shoots I have had with the true gent, that is Kevin!

I feel lucky to have met a like minded creative through the worlds of remote shoots. Who would have thought you could connect and create from opposite sides of the world, but we have and it's blooming awesome!! The time difference can be tricky, midday for me is 4am for Kevin, yet he always arrives on time and ready for a new venture.

Kevin is fantastic to work with and if you get the chance to work together, you should not miss out, from the initial corrospondance to the final images, Kevin is impeccable, great communication and amazing images.

Thank you Kevin for taking the time to work with me and I look forward to our next shoot :)

Highly recommended!!!

I had my first ever remote shoot with Kevin back in April.

Kevin made it very easy to relax into the shoot and is clearly very experienced as he explained it all to me.

He, along with PGD Photography Studios who hosted the shoot, got creative with a number of different set ideas and outfits which all worked brilliantly and came together to create some great shots.

Kevin was easy to work and get along with.

I would recommend working with Kevin.

Another fabulous shoot with Kevin, this time using the remote facilities at PGD studios, Leicester, which made a nice change. Kevin and I have worked together remotely on numerous occasions in a variety of themes and styles and every single time has been an absolute pleasure. Kevins pre shoot communication is always fantastic. I know in plenty of time what he wants to shoot and roughly how he wants to light it all, and working with him in a studio setting, rather than remotely from my home, was no different. Kevin meticulously directs each shot and he has such a great eye for composition and lighting, I always know that we are going to create some beautiful images together. We are just in the process of planning our next shoot and I absolutely cannot wait. See you soon Kevin!

Highly recommended!

Kevin and I have worked together on a few different shoots now, each with their own twist and yesterday's was no different. He once again drafted J Black Photographic in the assist during the remote shoot which is always beneficial, allowing me to remain in pose. Kevin's pre shoot communications are always excellent, well thought out and properly planned - he provides an idea via pre communications of what he's hoping to achieve and then on the day we tweak and play until we're happy with the set ups.

His posy processing skills are exceptional, and I can already envision the images to look spectacular. He's patient and understanding which is perfect for remote shoots, there's always bound to be something that needs sorting out! I enjoy working with Kevin and he's got such a creative mind, it really is a pleasure to help his visions come to life.

Thankyou for another wonderful remote shoot!

Team Black

Kevin recently reached out to us for an assisted remote shoot between the UK and the US, working on one of his themed ideas. His pre shoot communications were fantastic, well thought out and then executed well. He directed J Black Photographic with the lighting so Angel could remaind in position. From start to finish he was polite and professional and he captured some fab images.

It was a pleasure to assist Kevin in his vision and we look forward to seeing the final results.

Thankyou for a fantastic remote shoot!

Team Black :)

Working with Kevin was great! It was my first remote shoot, held at PGD Studios in Leicester. I cannot recommend Kevin or the studio enough. The technicalities of remote shooting were explained to me in simple terms which made it easy to adapt and the time flew by. Pre shoot communication was very good and Kevin provide reference images to use as a starting point while also leaving things open enough to add my own creative flair. Working with the theme (warrior) was so fun and I got to play around with axes and knives. Holding sharp objects in your hands for a while does wonders for your self confidence. 10/10 would work with again :)

The Apex Studio (Telford)

Kevin recently worked with Ahleigh Rae on a remote shoot at Apex Studio.

Kevin supplied us with lighting plans which was great. We tweeked it on the day to get the best results.

Kevin had some great concepts & it was fun working on these & we produced some great results.

Kevin is fun & easy to work with & I would highly recommend him to any model or studio.

Thanks Kevin for a great shoot.

I had a wonderful 4hr remote shoot with Kevin at Neon Dreams!

Pre comms were detailed, professional and informative, on the day Kevin explained to me what he wanted with the lighting, props etc - we went through various sets from simple to complicated set ups and got great shots from all. He was also very patient with the odd technical difficulty.

I loved Kevin's warrior theme, it was great fun to work on this project and I recommend him highly to all

Thanks! :)

PGD Modelling and Photography Studios

Its about that time again, Kevin joins us regularly for shoots from his home via our remote system.

We must be doing something right as we see Kevin back time and time again. And we are delighted to see him back every time. As always he provides excellent precoms and mood boards lighting diagrams etc, making my job very smooth and easy.

Kevin handles our remote rig like a true professional, fine tuning the lighting the camera position to get that perfect result.

His library is riddled with FPI's and when you see him work it is no surprise why.

Highly recommended, if you haven't had a chance to work with Kevin then you should drop him a msg, as he will create a true asset to your portfolio.

I recently had another wonderful remote shoot with Kevin! Kevin is always a pleasure to work with,he is always incredibly prepared and clear in his communications about what he would like to achieve which helps me to prepare for the shoot so well!

Kevin gave great,positive feedback throughout the shoot!

Kevin had such great concepts that he likes to shoot,this particular one worked for us both so well. The images that have come from it are absolutely beautiful! Definitely some of my favourites that we have created together.

Overall this was another great shoot,I’d definitely recommend working with Kevin and I look forward to hopefully shooting with him again.

Girl on Fire - Lydia

Today was a spontaneous shoot with Kevin as I was covering for another model. Although we had to very quickly sort out the shoot, we had such a great day and the images we created looked so good!

Kevin is always such a joy to work with and I can’t get enough of his warrior style and mad max images! I would absolutely recommend Kevin to anyone and really look forward to working with him again!

Thank you so much!

Summers Abroad

Kevin joined us (albeit remotely) for his second Summers Abroad event! This time was our ‘Lost World’ featuring all things mythical and other worldly!

As always Kevin was super relaxed, easy going when we had to make adjustments for technical difficulties and great at directing to ensure he got what he wanted from the shoot despite tuning in from the other side of the world :)

We would love to host Kevin on more events in the future, be it remotely or perhaps even in person on our international events! Happily recommended!
