  • We had the pleasure of working with Keith when we first moved to Orby’s. Keith has an incredible eye for detail and a natural ability to capture the atmosphere, energy and moments that truly tell the story.
    His professionalism made the whole process effortless and his warm personality put everyone at ease.

    The photos he created are timeless and remain on our journey at Orby’s. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond to deliver stunning photography that feels both authentic and artistic, I couldn’t recommend CapturedbyKeith highly enough.

  • It was a privilege working closely with Keith over the last 3 years in the Brazen Head. He was instrumental in growing the audience in all our social media platforms by over 20,000 people. His availability was amazing, and would be there daily to post videos of events and new food options for example as they happened.

    Keith was instrumental in our online sales campaign, and created all the pictures with the staff and posted daily with all the products we had to offer. I’d highly recommend Keith as he was a pivotal part in our business and a great person to work with.

  • We had the pleasure of working with Keith Mahon this summer on content creation for both Cliff House Hotel and Cliff at Lyons — and the results speak for themselves.

    Keith brought an exceptional level of creativity and precision to every shoot, from breathtaking drone footage and enticing food photography to engaging reels and meticulously edited stills. His ability to capture the spirit of a place — whether it’s a five-star oceanfront escape or a tranquil countryside retreat — is second to none.
