“Sooooo glad we fit this shoot in!!!! Originally: I was never even set to be coming to Dorset on this tour... And with Covid and everything happening this year - literally if you would have asked me just a week before we booked it in the diary if Keith and I could grab a shoot before the year ended, the answer would likely have been no. Cancellations in my travel schedule, and a whole lot of fate on our side however - AND WE NAILED IT! 

Working with Keith is a real joy - any time of the year! But I think what made this shoot special was that it had already been a tough year with folks creative streaks placed on hold. So I think both of us were definitely bursting to let it all out; and the shots that we achieved... Well I think it’s safe to confirm that we did just that!  If I told you that we turned ironing a dress for a shot into a whole retro set, would you believe it? Okay, what about if I told you that Keith walked around town with a fully suited and booted clown? Taking over the arcades at the beach, stopping at the local pub to grab a pint prop, descending on alley ways/subways galore. No - it wasn’t the circus, I promise you... Just a pretty standard day working with a sound bloke who really is down for any creative madness imaginable!  I mean: we also did some prettyful and dreamy stuff too, don’t get me wrong!  But what a tour highlight!

Everything else I can say literally echos what I’ve said about Keith in the past. He has so much enthusiasm for shooting and really gets in the zone. It’s been a pure joy working with him several times since our first shoot and just watching his style and photography flourish. He’s exceptionally versatile and will take on any challenge, adapt with the moment/with the lighting and has a great eye for seeing things and thinking outside the box/thinking up ideas. His way is to always team up with the model and allow a collaborative rapport to pave the way... This is why good working relationships are so vital in this game, and I feel I have a cracking one with Keith at this stage. 

Nothing changes with Keith: same old cheerful and chirpy nature, high-spirited approach and perfect etiquette when working with models. Whenever we shoot/he hosts me the time just flies! And sometimes we’ve even done it over multiple days! He has a very professional attitude when shooting and wants nothing more than the model to feel 1000% comfortable. But when you get to know him you can just have an absolute giggle from the start til’ the end of your shoot.  Gosh, we literally don’t stop natting haha! So rest assured you’re completely safe with this fellow... He’s so lovely and down-to-earth, and someone I will always look forward to shooting with again in the future. And there will be a next time!

Best last minute shoot ever! All we ever do is clown around really - but I felt this time... We excelled ourselves. Ey Keith? 

Thank you so much dude!”
