Loved my 1st Shoot with Kuro at Neon Dreams today. He definitely brought it, completely cool look, outfits, posing and his awesome MUA skills. We shot portraits, fashion and music themes. Kuro is very easy to work with, great to chat to our time flew by. Highly Recommended!!

I had an absolutely fantastic shoot with Kuro. He is super enjoyable to work with, absolutely knows his craft, willing to collaborate with ideas, very professional and patient (which is important as I shoot on film). We got got on really well and the shoot flew by, especially since he's great to chat to when working this really made the shoot a fun one overall. He looks incredible on camera and I really cannot wait to see the results once they're developed.

Absolutely recommended!!

Kuro is great on the day - came well prepared, is friendly and professional, did make-up wonderfully to the given brief. I'm very pleased with the photographic results.

Kuro and I finally had our long overdue shoot together! And it was worth the wait! Though I wish we hadn't had to wait so long (since pre-Covid), as Kuro is as fantastic as a model as I thought he would be. He was well on board for the theme I had in mind, brought a cool outfit that fit the theme along with being willing to put on the crazy clothing I brought along too. His makeup was done immaculately and to a very high standard.

Kuro was easy to chat with, work with and we had a really fun shoot. Already happy with the photos from the shoot and I've only looked through the first third. Highly recommend!

I had a shoot with Kuro last Friday in the City of London. I contacted him answering his casting call. I needed some Lifestyle images.

Working with Kuro was so great. To begin with he is really professional. Communication before the shoot was spotless and everything was really well.

He really knows how to pose and he is expressive. He has a fantastic look too.

Despise of the rain we managed to get many good images.

Kuro is really friendly and very easy to work with. It was a very enjoyable shoot.

I absolutely recommend him.

I cannot recommend this guy enough. My first real androgynous shoot, Kuro was great. Nothing was too much trouble, make up was amazing, he kindly let me style most of the shoot, and just made all the looks work. Plenty of ideas and feedback on images, and fun whilst shooting. If you get the chance to work with Kuro take it , you won't be disappointed. Hope to work together again in the future. Thank you Kuro.

It was an absolute pleasure to meet and work with Kuro. Fun and creative is how I would describe the shoot. Kuro is professional, dedicated and easy going! If you haven't shot with Kuro...then you need to!

A Shot in the Dark

I've been DYING to shoot Kuro for absolutely ages so when he announced a tour down my way I dropped everything to make sure I could book him!

His pre-shoot comms were great, I felt like we had a good plan going into the day with room still to come up with ideas on the spot.

Kuro arrived on time and with plenty of things to work with. We spent a little time deciding which looks we were going to go for. I'd booked 4 hours so we were able to fit a lot in, pretty much all down to Kuro's efficiency rather than my own haha!

Kuro was so easy to work with and really easy to get along with too. He's equally friendly and professional and really helps you feel at ease if you're faffing about with lighting for example, which I do a lot haha. His posing is awesome and he knows his angles so well. Even though he was being paid he still put so much effort into making sure I got what I wanted and the shots were awesome, which I really appriciate.

Kuro even went the extra mile and had thought about a specific MUA look that he thought I might be keen on. And oh man, was I. It ended up being the strongest look from the whole day! So I was delighted with the extra effort he put in.

One of the things I was excited about was his MUA skills and I wasn't disappointed! If you book Kuro you're getting an amazing model, stylist AND MUA all in one, absolute bargain! He's also super fast with his make-up changes and isn't fazed at all when something has to be changed last minute, like gold leaf on the body for example haha.

I really couldn't rate Kuro highly enough. I had high expectations and he really exceeded them. I'd book him again in a heartbeat and HIGHLY recommend him to anyone else.

Fun, vibrant, engaging. Created 2 beautiful constasted looks. Ensured throughout I was comfortable, liked my make-up.

Was great onset.

Looking forward to working with you again!

I had the absolute pleasure of collaborating with Kuro on my recent trip to Glasgow.

Pre-shoot comms were excellent as Kuro was receptive to my ideas and shared his thoughts on how we could bring this to fruition.

Arriving on time, with a case of clothes for me to choose from, Kuro's style and look blew me away! The shoot included both indoor and out, and all i had to do was choose the location, tell Kuro what i was hoping to achieve and Kuro did the rest with next to no direction.

Always professional, courteous and engaging, Kuro was full of praise and encouragement when looking at the pics, which was great for my confidence as a relatively newbie to working with models.

Kuro has incredible grace and poise in front of the camera, was never anything other than patient, as well as exuding an aura that is a conduit for creating new, exciting images. Nothing was a bother to Kuro and he embraced every idea with passion and professionalalism, and I couldn't be happier with the images we created.

If you get a chance to work with Kuro, i highly recommend you take it - you won't regret it!

So so easy to work with, such a talented individual. Brought some great ideas and posing evolved throughout as our ideas blended.

Super patient and chilled. Totally recommended.

I did a shot with Kuro, I enjoyed been in his company and he’s very easy to get on with, we had some good chat and he is very professional in his approach to the work, I’d recommend working with him, he was on time and the communication before the shoot was great.

Shot with Kuro recently at Inspire Studios and he was really great to work with. He is very friendly and professional, and was very patient when my 'easy' gel idea took a bit more effort to get right than anticipated! He has a great look and poses well to show it off. I was really happy with the final images and would highly recommended Kuro to other photographers.

Wow wow and wow so worth the wait of over 2 years (Covid caused the wait!) Kuro is one hell of a model and a super nice person too. So easy to get on with and really keen to ensure every photographer gets the images from the time they spend with him. His posing is brilliant and his MUA skills are phenomenal. Honestly you can’t fail to get a good set of images when you work with Kuro. You would be silly not to work with him and I for one can’t wait to get him all the way back down to us again. I loved shooting with him myself and hosting his studio days were super easy too as he is great with the photographers too.

I'd been looking forward to this shoot for some time and I wasn't disappointed. Kuro is a super versatile model and happy to go along with any ideas, his posing is great and it was easy to achieve some terrific images. I sincerely hope Kuro comes back down south again and I get the opportunity to work with him again. Thoroughly recommended

I had some very creative studio time with Kuro at Inspire Studios,

Kuro is a great model to work with and was pro active in creating some ideas that i had in mind and we had a scream working on them..

Kuro has a very distinctive look and his presence in the studio provided many clothing ideas and moods which gave me lots of options.

I really enjoyed working with Kuro and I hope he comes South again soon.

Recommended for some great creative photography

Effortlessly posed aswell as looking on point! A massive gain to my portfolio! Loving the images we got so far and looking forward to editing more. If he's in your area, book him in! Thanks so much kuro, hope to see you down here again in the future x

I had the privilege of a shoot with Kuro at OpenSpace studio in Kettering for the first time.

Kuro impressed me so much right from the start with his unique style, beauty and inspiring creative flair.

Throughout the shoot Kuro took everything in his stride with great enthusiasm, endless patience and kindness. His open-minded intelligence and inspiring creative interpretations of the ideas presented made the shoot an absolute pleasure.

I can't recommend Kuro highly enough and I look forward to working with him again, very soon, I hope! Thank you, Kuro.

We had been discussing a shoot for a while & only now did our locations allow us to hook up for a shoot, but Kuro was really worth waiting for!

Not only is Kuro one of the nicest people you could possibly meet but he also excels in comms, posing, wardrobe, makeup - a genuine allround MegaStar! Such a joy to work with!

The images produced are just awesome & I have already formed some ideas for another shoot next time Kuro is in the area! :-)

Thanks again, Kuro, for a fantastic shoot!

HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

J'Art (he, him)

Would I recommend Kuro? Absolutely 100%. Just finished an amazing shoot, where we did various themes. Great communication pre shoot, we arrived at the location, knowing what we all had to do, and we managed to get an incredible number of successful shots. All down to being mega prepared and professional. I'm almost tempted to say "not recommended" 'cause I wanna keep him all to myself! If you are in anyway hesitating about booking, don't, he is a brilliant creative to work with. Professional, hard working, articulate, intelligent and imaginative. Cannot wait to see what we can create together next time. Not to mention, it is really, and I mean really hard, NOT to get a good shot..he is so good!
