I hired Kevin Hayden for a photography walking tour of the Latin Quarter in Paris. My goal was to receive a practical introduction to manual mode (ISO, Aperture, Shutter Speed) in a picturesque setting, and that goal was met. I took photos and did photo-exercises and received immediate, insightful feedback and suggestions for improvement. Kevin's coaching style is sincere, calm, positive and helpful.
As we went from photogenic spot to photogenic spot, Kevin and I developed a rapport and understanding, and I experienced a confidence in him as a photographer. I asked if he would be interested in photographing me, as I don't have photos of myselfand I wanted mementos of my vacation in Paris. He quoted a fair price and we had the photo shoot a couple of days later. I am pleased with the photos he took of me. He helped bring out genuine photogenic expressiveness from me, and helped me minimize my flaws.
After my vacation Kevin sent me high-resolution images from my photoshoot, and I am enjoying them.
My expectations were met and I am satisfied with the photo tour and the photo shoot, and would hire Kevin Hayden again. |

Hi Kevin,
Sorry for just get back to you. I had a few things that I need to sort out once I came back from the holiday.
Thank you for the beautiful shots for both of us. Kevin was so professional and yet informal in a way to make us comfortable and natural. He successfully made me overcome my insecurity in being photographed by making jokes and all of sudden I was able to smile and pose naturally and the results were amazing. I felt like I'm suddenly a photogenic person. We highly recommend Kevin as your photographer to treasure your precious moments.
Cheers, Yogie and Yessyca
Hi Yogie & Yessyca, Your kind words are very touching and much appreciated. I wish you both the best of luck and happiness always. Kevin. |

I have worked with many photographers in my profession as a performer, but I have never been so pleased as I was with Kevin Hayden and his partner. He has a the talent of being both a verbal and visual communicator. He was able to take my vision and feedback and translate it into the perfect photo - or in our case, many photos!
In my case, the photo shoot was a wedding anniversary present to my husband. We were celebrating 7 years and I wanted to capture the emotions that we felt on this special day. We both cried when we saw the photos. Kevin was able to bring our emotion to life through his exquisite composition.
I will definitely work with him again and can highly recommend him.
To Kevin: Many thanks for the wonderful experience. |

Hello, I called Dennis and raved about both headshots of mom. I just assumed that he'd pass along the praise. I couldn't stop staring at the images (with the bandana and without) They brought tears to my eyes because you were able to capture the fragile and wonderful woman my mother is today. She wasn't distant, she was right there and she was connected. You have given me a very special gift that I will always appreciate (and be moved to tears by) long after mom is gone. Thank you so very much! Always, Roz
That's very kind of you Roz, thank you! |

Hi Kevin,
Arrived back in Australia a week ago and have spent the better part of the last week trying to get over the jet-lag.
Thought I'd email you a note of thanks. I keep hearing your words … subject and simplify!
You have certainly challenged me to see and think differently about photography. I have no way to truly thank you for your honesty and your insights. Perhaps the best I can do is to keep taking photographs while heeding your words - subject! Simplify! Scan the entire frame for relevance and distractions! Look - really see, take a different perspective! Leave your ego behind!
Thanks again,
Gerard. |

j'ai aimé ton témoignage sur la Birmanie, les photos sont belles, touchantes, et parfois poignantes. j'ai aimé les portraits , les paysages, et bien sûr les photos sur Paris, avec ses lumières orangées qu'on ne se lasse pas de regarder. à bientôt à Ménilmontant.

Kevin knows how to get the shots and is easy to work with. We were on our second honeymoon to Paris and wanted to capture the memories. He did very good work and was not hurried. We started the day having breakfast with Kevin and we even got our disks before we left Paris. Thanks Kevin |

THANK YOU for capturing the true emotion of our perfect wedding day. I cannot stop looking at our photos, smiling as I recall all of the intimate moments that are now frozen in time. We had such a blast roaming the streets of Paris with you, laughing and dancing to your spontaneous singing! Being thousands of miles from home and unable to share our wedding day with family, we are grateful to have spent it with you, who celebrated our joy. And better, the pictures have allowed us to perfectly illustrate the event with our loved ones. Many thanks and Much Love, Kristin & Chris Smith |

Thank you Chris & Miranda! It was great fun, and you guys made it! Peace, Kevin. |

WOW ! ! ! What breadth style impact vibrance sensitibity and sensitivity beauty inspiration humanity and humility peace and passion a tour de force thar speaks compellingly to the spirit of Paris itstelf even as it travels the world - a hunger for depth of understanding, compassion and love. I came to spend a few minutes with an old friend and found more than i could ever have imagined the eye the talent the mastery havde taken my breath away and I would say left me almost speechless but I avoid excess in all ways. Nothing excessive in my comments above - pure poetry through a remarkable lens; Merci beaucoup; mon ami, un succes fou vraiment. John |
Vanessa Silberman 06/25/12 France Paris |
Kevin and i went on a unique visual journey together. He photograhed Suzie Birchwood for the Raw Beauty Project. therawbeautyproject.com he talent lies in his both his technical skills and his ability to get his subject to surrender to the camera where she feels beautiful and empowered. He had a special relationship with Suzie, who is a special person. I was very impressed and am looking forward to seeing her photo in a paris gallery |
|
Thanks Kevin, had fun in Paris finding all the out of the way places and making new friends with the vendors from nearby shops. Spring would have been better but we loved late March just the same...we will be back for the coffee next year! Cheers mate from Liz & David (from OZ) |
|
These pictures are so much nicer than you normally see. If I was ever going to marry again, which I'm not, I'd call you. You are in the States sometimes, yes? |
|
Kevin is a truly gifted photographer with a natural gift for composition. Hiring him to do your event not only will produce some of the most beautiful photos you've ever seen, but certainly some of the most original. His portraits are heavenly. |

Dear Kevin my friend,
A big big thank you for your fantastic work!
Our two pre-wedding photography sessions in Paris with Kevin was a truly fun and memorable experience. My fiancee and I are definitely not photogenic, however Kevin's guidance and patience (and also his wonderful lullaby) helped us to go through the photography sessions. And the best is Kevin certainly know how to capture wonderful shots!
I highly recommend Kevin to everyone.
Thank you my friend! |
Margot Novello 01/04/12 Australia Hunter Valley |
I found an article in Escape.com.au . From the Sunday Telegraph (an Australian News Paper) and enjoyed the idea of your photography in Paris. I have just looked on your website and loved every photo. Have a wonderful 2012 and thank you for bringing such lovely images to live, Margot
Thank you very much Margot! It's people like you who inspire me! Peace, Kevin. |
Ralph Ybarra 04/29/11 United States of America Paris/phoenix |
Thank you Kevin for an hour of your day to snap a few quick shots not knowing when I asked that you were Kevin Hayden Photographer. I had a curb ball hit me then but at the end the day, I have your images to remind me how truly lucky I was that same day. Peace and Blessings my friend. |
Katy & Deran 04/22/11 United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland London |
A friend of ours recommended Kevin to my husband and me; we consider ourselves very lucky to have received the recommendation. Kevin was a wonderful part of our wedding experience.
From the pre-wedding discussions and test photos to his dedication and patience during our celebrations and delivery of such wonderful and vibrant images, we were truly fortunate to have Kevin as our photographer. Kevin is a real artist and expertly captured the energy, excitement and emotions of our special day. I'm a bit camera shy and he made me feel completely at ease. I highly, highly recommend Kevin! |
Nadia 04/20/11 France Paris |
Hi Kevin,
Cette renconctre dans le parc a été un très agréable moment. Tu as su capter l'intensité de la relation entre une mère et son jeune enfant et tes photos sont imprégnées de ta sensibilité !
Ta passion te fait vibrer et il n'y pas plus belle inspiration. Bonne continuation.
Nadia & Axel |

Kevin. You certainly know how to capture those special moments. Reminds me of Henri-Cartier Bresson. I love the proposals with the gleam in the girls eyes. You are a genius (with the lens). |

Nous avons rencontré Kevin par hasard, le hasard fait bien les choses car nous n'aurions pas imaginer meilleur photographe pour notre mariage. Nous n'avions jamais posé, mais il a su nous mettre à l'aise et immortalisé notre jour. Kevin, tu sais te rendre invisible malgré ton 70-200 et tu sais capté l'émotion et saisir l'instant. Quand nous regardons le magnifique livre album que tu as fais le souvenir du mariage est encore meilleur. Si vous faites appel à Kevin prenez un livre album conçu par lui même vous ne le regretterez pas tant la qualité d'impression est b |
Ling Wong 03/07/11 United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland London |
I engaged in Kevin's services during my visit to Paris, to capture some beautiful shots of me and my boyfriend during our holiday there. Kevin was very responsive in emails and did suggest good ideas. He was also very flexible in his schedule (we scheduled for a photo shot on Saturday, which turned out to be a very bad weather day and he was available for Sunday! That's very commendable work ethic I would say)
Very versatile in adapting to different situation, very informal |
Bronwyn 01/23/11 France Paris |
