References for Speedy1

kev@keranda

Having just left a reference for Steve's most recent model introduction only correct that the man himself should have a referral acknowledging my appreciation.

1/ Thank you for the many and regular bookings.

2/ '' '' for the trouble free and appreciative use of studio.

3/ '' '' for the help freely given with studio accessories [background poles].

4/ '' '' for all the amazing models you have introduced to Keranda,many of whom have gone on to enjoy on-going bookings at Keranda.( will not name for fear of whom I may miss out )

5/ '' '' for just being exemplary and much valued client and friend and respect shown to models and studio.

I think that's a 5-Star referral.

Thanks Steve.

I had a great shoot with Steve on Tuesday.. I knew we were going to get along n problem from the friendly, regular and detailed pre comms! Steve also offered interesting topics to talk about, there was no small talk or awkward chit chat which I was really grateful for.

I have never modelled with a bike before I learned something new on the shoot as well! Overall the day was relaxed, no rush and enjoyable. I thoroughly enjoyed working with you Steve and hope to see you again soon! :)

I had the pleasure of shooting with Steve this week.Pre-shoot comms were excellent and he knew what shots he wanted.He did really well as he got me riding a bike (I did well as I didn't fall off!).

I'd highly recommend Steve to both new and experienced models as he is very easy to talk to and will put any model at ease

Yay! We managed to catch up once more and I think it's safe to say that we bounced off each other even more so than our first shoot! :D Steve is a really nice chap and photographer: any models who have shot with him will most definitely agree and for models planning to tour the East Anglia area: I seriously cannot give enough recommendations for him.

We shot again at Keranda Studio in Kings Lynn: Steve was great because I initially got in touch with him about a different date (as per my travel plans through the area) and he promptly got back to me with enthusiasm to shoot again and being fantastic with communications when the first date didn't work for his diary: we organised an alternative opportunity to shoot in no time at all and Steve kept me informed every step of the way. What a star! :)

Then on the day, he arrived with his usual positive outlook (even though I pinched his parking spot at the studio!) and we hit off that rapport in no time at all. Steve is probably one of the most easy going photographers around and I knew exactly what to bring outfit wise for his style of shooting: we did some absolutely gorgeous glamorous shots as well as some arty getting a whole load of variety in the bag and having laughs while we worked. It was lovely! If you cannot enjoy a good mix of friendly chatter while you make pretty pictures then whatever is the point: an enjoyable experience on a shoot goes a long way and makes the shoot simply fly by!

Steve is extremely passionate about his photography and it shows when he works: He will make incredible effort between the models poses to achieve an interesting angle or accentuate the impact of the shot. I loved what he was producing and always managed to make the best use of the set/styling photographically; sure I can throw on a raunchy pair of shorts and do a pose but it takes a good photographer who knows how to do the shot superb justice to catch the moment in full glory. Steve really works to make a model look good in a picture and that's the difference between just pressing the button as the model moves and actively shaping the shot into an aesthetic image. Nothing overly complicated with the lighting setups, but sometimes that's good fun because you get the chance to work shapes and expressions a bit more freely. :) There were many lovely shots coming through on the back f the camera, that's for certain!

And of course Steve is a totally down to earth and easy going photographer with 100% professionalism in his approach. Any model would feel completely at ease working with him; and as mentioned before: the laughs are guaranteed! :D

Thank you so much Steve! I look forward to getting something arranged before long as it was a blast catching up again.

So yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting this wonderful man and he is a true legend to work with as we did a 4 hour shoot and it felt like 1 hour!! .... time flies when having fun!

We worked on his themes and even included Xena Beau in some images which was filled with giggles !!

We did out door and indoor at my place and I was surprised with how the images turned out!

He travelled far just for me which was moving already!! We had much banter which was a bonus too as we all know there is nothing worse than awkward silences !

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!

Deff would shoot again!!

Another amazing shoot with Steve at Keranda!

Always flies by when I shoot with Steve. This time we done another 2 hour shoot with a model (Daisy Woods).

Yet again Steve was super chatty, always makes me laugh and feel comfortable. He knows what he wants to achieve in each shoot with is awesome!

Steve is really laid back and doesn't rush you into anything or make you do anything you don't want which I love in a photographer!

Can't wait for the next time.

Much love,

Sarah Louise xo

Just finished my first shoot with Steve, and what a laugh it was! Steve is awesome, wicked sense of humour and brilliant to work with. The time went by super quick and got to shoot some really interesting themes.

Precomms were great, working at Keranda studios is effortless, everything is organised, Steve knew exactly what he wanted to shoot and the transitions between each set was great.

I'd thoroughly recommend Steve, you won't be disappointed. Thanks again, Steve! Hope to work with you again soon :)

Yet another awesome shoot with Steve. He's so lovely. So laid back and genuinely down to earth. He has a obvious passion for cycling and I love that he encorperates it into his shooting. It's refreshing!

We again shot at keranda studio but this time we had the added bonus of working with the lovely Claire (missyk83)

Steves pretty comms are perfect, always know the plan and they're always professional and polite.. Couldn't ask for more really!

Look forward to next year!

Steve prepared beautiful props for the particular shoot and they went very well with the theme of the shoot. Very well organised with variety of creative ideas which made the shoot interesting and brilliant!!!

Highly recommended as always and looking forward to working with Steve again.

Thank you for the great shoot.

Daisy Woods

Another great shoot with Steve. I always look forward to it. It's so relaxed and fun it hardly feels like work. He made sure pre shoot that I was comfortable with all ideas and poses.

Speedy has lots of different and unusual ideas so it's always fun and the images I saw were amazing.

Can't wait until next time x

Lovely shoot day with Speedy1(Steve). Great pre-shoot communication, he do best to get things prepared and organised. very professional attitudes give every useful information about outfits, locations, transport.

The shooting process is enjoyable, Steve do great guidance as I work with the bicycle for fist time.

I will highly recommend Speedy1 to other models, he is great photographer to work with.:)

Aya

I had my first brilliant shoot with Speedy1, Steve today. Pre shoot communication was comprehensive. He is very passionate about shoots involving bicycle and made very creative use of bicycle parts in unusual settings which I really enjoyed. He is very friendly, fun to work with, chatty, enthusiastic and also very professional.

I high recommend Steve to any models both experienced and beginners.

The whole shoot was beyond my expectation.

Looking forward to working with him again.

Thank you for the brilliant shoot, Steve.

Aya 😊
