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! :)

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.

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!

This was my first time working with Kevin and it was a great success :) we focused on the warrior theme mentioned on his port and I put a far Eastern spin on my concept by procuring a genuine Japanese yukata and decorating a kitsune fox mask. Because our shoot was via remote setup there were some teething issues with the tech but he was very patient and chill about it, Kevin also communicated clearly with me about how he wanted me to pose, his background in reenactments came in very handy for this! Highly recommended and can't wait to see the results.

Another wonderful remote shoot with Kevin, in the bag! I absolutely adore my home shoots with Kevin and have come to truly look forward to our time together.

Kevin has such a clear vision of what he wants to achieve during each session and comes to me with ideas and themes well in advance so we can discuss and prepare for the day. For our last shoot he commissioned a fantastic helmet, which arrived at my door several weeks in advance so I could further plan outfits and accessories to suit.

On top of all that, Kevin has a keen knowledge of lighting and really helps me to get the absolute best out of my home studio and minimal equipment. His post processing is also exceptional and he never fails to wow me with his finished images.

Looking forward, as always, to our next meeting! Thanks for another great shoot!

PGD Modelling and Photography Studios

Kevin has now dialled into the studio via our remote system and worked with different members of the house team a few times now.

I love working with Kevin his pre coms are on point, he knows what he wants how to achieve it and gives me everything I need to have the studio set ready for him as soon as he arrives.

His technical ability is matched by his eye to assess it as well and his work is always perfectly executed, this gives him a very strong portfolio that any model should be proud to be part of.

Highly recommended photographer, and outstanding work, always a pleasure working with him!

I had a superb remote shoot today with Kevin at the wonderful PGD studio. We went for a mad max and warrior style and looking at the images we created from the display, I am so happy with how they turned out!

If ever I was in America I would loveeee to come and work with him as his vision and skills are insane! I cannot wait to work together again and am really looking forward to seeing how the images turn out!

Thank you so much Kevin!

Hope to work together again soon.

Angel Black UK

Another remote shoot with Kevin, and another fanatics shoot. Kevin is truly an angel, he's so patient and understanding of technology and the issue its sometimes brings with it. Shooting remotely definitely takes a certain type of character, someone who is cool, calm and collected - able to deal with frustration and grab it by the head, Kevin is one hundred percent this person!

On top of this, his pre shoot communications truly are exceptional, actually some of the very best - I know exactly what to bring and where and when and how, before we've even exchanged but five messages. It's fantastic and really helps to keep the admin to a minimal!

Kevin's ability with post processing is astounding, from the RAW file I see on my laptop, to the final image he uploads, I'm always amazed at what he's able to accomplish. Conversation doesn't stagnate and we never seem to run out of ideas. I would definitely recommend Kevin and would happily work with him again!

Thankyou for a fantastic shoot (and your patience!)

Kevin and I arranged our third remote shoot recently, loosely following his "warrior" theme concept - although this time we took to the hills of Somerset for a post apocalyptic style shoot. I was booked alongside J Black Photographic, who acted as Kevin's hands and eyes in person, able to adjust things quite quickly, allowing me to remain in a modelling mindset.

Kevin's pre shoot communications are superb, they are always well thought out and then well executed. It was a pleasure to be Kevin's first location remote shoot, and despite a few technical hitches, we captured some truly fabulous images! The previous two shoots have been great, and this was no exception - Kevin's post processing abilities are phenomenal, gaining us a few FPI's along the way already, so I'm super excited to see what he does with this next set!

He's polite and professional throughout and conversation easily flows. Despite being over 5000 miles away from one another, and never having met in person, I feel like I know Kevin well, we get along well and I think our work truly does speak for itself.

We are already booked in for our next shoot next week at Studio Fifty Eight, so by the time that comes around I'll have taken Kevin to 3 different places remotely! I highly recommend him and look forward to our next one :)

Thank-you for a great shoot!

J Black Photographic

Kevin booked Angel Black for a remote shoot and me assisting, from start to finish Kevin communicated his ideas clearly and effectively. He gave good direction for me to handle the camera for him and to position how he wanted.

He was friendly throughout and conversation was easy. It was a pleasure to assist on the remote shoot and I'd happily do so again.

Another amazing and varied shoot with Kevin!

This was my third shoot with Kevin and all I can really say is.... when's the next one?

Kevin and I shoot remotely from my home studio and it really is so much fun... despite the battles with zoom and the general joys of technology Kevin soldiers on and achieves incredible results. I absolutely love seeing what we create together in my little studio.

I would recommended a shoot with Kevin to anybody. He is so lovely to work with and be in the company of, albeit virtually.

Another fab shoot with Kevin and PGD remotely!

This one was latex themed and of course, on the hottest day of the year thus far but we mananged to keep our cool and get a vast range of awesome looks done.

Kevin has a great eye for the shot and gives direction when needed to perfect, but also allows for a level of flow to happen. So easy to work with and lovely for a little chatter inbetween too!

Always very professional, punctual and full of ideas - I hope we get a round 3!
