For a day shoot with Ken I had to sacrifise 3 days: travel, playing my board game, watching his DVD, him showing me around etc, well you get it, I was entertained and happy even off the sets, thus very much worth the time.

Ken works really fast, it might be, bacause of his experience or neat planning. Mosts sets took us ~5 minutes once I was dressed. He just says "I think we got a keeper" takes two more shots and we go to drink some more tea.

Ken respects models' nudity levels, I posed nude in a way I was not able to tell how much is showing to the camera, he immediately asked me to adjust the pose once too much was visible and I saw files straight out of memory card, every shot was within my levels.

I learnt from Ken the importance of styling and how affordable and easy it can be.

He often bases his ideas on others' works, but the results are soooo different, if original was l'officiel like fashion image, ours ends up being artistic portraiture.

I received a lot of pp quality pictures very much ahead of agreed time, and we got some more to come.

I had my first shoot with ken , and it was an absolute delight.

Ken has an beautiful house , which matches his eccentric personality. It was a delight to meet someone, and to meet a photographer who didn't want to tell me off regarding politics, but actually talk about politics and current affairs.

Ken is a bit of a feeder throughout the shoot -and this i have no complaints over , he also fed my caffine habit :) .

His work is amazing - he has to control the shoot - which I understand - he is highly recommended, as he is very artistic with the camera, and what he wants to achieve.

I'd recommend for any model to work with him given the opportunity - but make sure the style is a match for you , you will work without makeup on - which is my preferance but might not be for all (as references are about being honest, this isn't a negative - this is a you should know before approaching)

Ken is a lovely photographer, whom i can't wait to work with in the future again.

Had my first shoot with ken and it was great!

He kindly picked me up from the station and when we arrived we had a coffee and a chat about what we wanted to achieve.

The shoot was relaxed and flowed.

He's a lovely, chatty man and knows exactly what he's after!

Highly recommend 😌

I had the absolute pleasure of being able to stay and work with Ken. I messaged him a while ago but was unable to shoot, so when I had regained some confidence on the road I messaged him again and we arranged a shoot.

It was such a lovely experience and I really enjoyed my time there. Ken is an absolute gent and ensured I was comfortable at all times, and cooked some gorgeous food for me. He is a really intelligent and quick witted guy and has so many amazing life stories it was such a giggle.

His work is amazing as you can see from the images on his portfolio, I really enjoyed working with him. He has a great eye for detail and gives good direction. Ken also has plenty of beautiful costumes, props and enough creativity to inspire anyone.

Can't wait to work with you again!

Thanks you so much for a great shoot/experience, like I said it was a pleasure.

Highly recommend to all models.

This was the first time I worked with Ken and I had an absolutely exceptional time shooting with him. I utterly adore his artistic flair captured in his photos and was massively pleased with the final ones. I adored Ken's collection of vintage clothes, especially the hats and loved how each room in his house has such character! It left me full of ideas for future shoots and even inspired to purchase my own sewing machine! Plus, may I add, that Ken is such a lovely and interesting person who makes you feel at ease instantly. I hope to work with you again in the future! Alice

Ken kindly invited me to stay at his place in Weymouth for a few days whilst I was touring. His communication beforehand was excellent which helped me feel at ease. I very much admire Kens artistic flair and thought that goes behind his images. We chatted for ages about different photography styles and managed to create some fantastic images.

Thank you :)

I shot with Ken last month and it was a really lovely shooting experience. Ken was such a great host; his home is the most beautiful I've ever been lucky enough to set foot in, and he kept me and my travel buddy (who hadn't expected to be invited to stay!) topped up with tea and lovely food. We spent 90% of the shoot chatting, which was great because Ken is such an interesting guy with plenty of stories! The images came out fantastic - Ken has a wonderful eye and his home is the ideal set up for his ideas. I'd love to work with Ken again and hope to really soon.

I have worked with Ken a few times and love working with this creative guy!!

Ken has really amazing artistic ideas and makes awesome sets and props. The pictures look great and I look forward to shooting with him again in the future sometime :)

Ken is not only the most versatile and different photographer I've had the pleasure of working with, he's also the most fascinating person - his house is stunningly beautiful with numerous places to shoot. His dedication to photography is evident the moment you walk in the house. He is keen to explain things to you. He is patient and above all - generous with his time and knowledge.

Having his photos in my portfolio has levelled up my work, I'm seeing him again soon for another shoot and I highly recommend working with him.

What can I say about the legend that is Ken P.....I made him his own theme tune and now I can't stop singing it whenever I look at his port :)

Seriously though Ken is a doll, so welcoming and lovely and so articulate we talked and talked and talked about everything from the war to Lord Lucan and back again.

Ken has the most beautiful home, beautiful is a understatement I saw my first orangery and slept in my first antique Chinese bed!

Ken made me a lovely dinner and allowed me to polish off 2 bottles of his wine as well, talk about generous!

On a serious note Ken is a superb photographer, Ken also has the best collection of costumes and hats I have seen, his hats have their own room!! There was so much to choose from and so many places to shoot we could have gone on forever.

From what I saw on the back of the camera we got the shots I was really hankering after for my port and I'm really happy we were able to finally work together.

Thanks for putting up with me Ken, I hope your headache has cleared up :)

Ken is amazing. He really is. I want to book another shoot just to go back and talk to him, his company is just excellent!

Not only is this man hospitable and phenomenal company, he is also an excellent photographer. Ken ensured that I was well looked after throughout and even took me to Superdrug after my 'I forgot my makeup' disaster. We did an evening shoot, popped me in a military suit, did some outdoor shots and then dunked me in a paddling pool (where I froze haha).

Ken not only nails every shot but he is incredibly creative, designing accessories from the most amazing things, and he has a room of clothes, every model's dream!

This man has 0 ego, is willing to share anything and everything, including his wealth of knowledge generally. He is fascinating company and I really hope he will shoot with me again :) Thank you for a fabulous shoot :)

I had the most adventurous shoot today with Ken, I had a lot of fun and felt very relaxed throughout the full shoot. Would highly recommend, Ken made me feel comfortable the minute I walked through the door.

Rosie Flame

I had a fantastic shoot with Ken today shooting portraiture through to nude. Ken is incredibly easy to talk to and we could have, in fact did, chat for hours. Ken goes the extra mile (literally) by driving a total f 3 hours so we could work together. In addition to this bacon is always appreciated. Ken knows exactly what he wants and gives great direction which makes my life a lot easier. Pre - comms were great as was the shoot. I'll see you soon Ken!

Thank you :)

Ken is a proper gent and I always have a great time shooting with him!

The images he produces are always so classy and beautiful, and it's always such a fun, relaxing day.

He's not a half bad chef, either ;-)

Highly recommended!

Had a great shoot with Ken on Tuesday, very interesting with a variety of ideas tried on set. He was very professional and definitely approachable. I love his composite works and I am really interested in the way he edits and 'creates' the image that he wants... Would work again, and I definitely recommend... :)

Working with Ken was nothing but an absolute delight! He is full of creative and vintage ideas that are completely up my street and we got some absolutely beautiful images in the short time we shot together! He's extremely accommodating and makes you feel right at home. I'd recommend working with Ken to anyone and I hope we get to do so again in the future!

I had the pleasure of working with Ken at the weekend.

He is a great host with wonderful ideas.

I'm so happy that I worked with Ken, thank you for a lovely shoot.

I had my sixth shoot with the marvellous Ken today, which probably speaks for itself as much as anything! As always the day was relaxed and fun, with conversation and ideas aplenty - he has become one of my favourite people to work with over the years. Ken's portfolio is of the highest quality and he treats his models with great respect. Highly recommended by me and I'm sure shoot number 7 will be along soon!
