*** SEMI-RETIRED, though still taking on projects that sound like fun. ***

Greetings, Earth creature.

I'm James, and I'm here to provide Blue Steel and sex appeal in varying denominations. You can see my face in magazines (as in, actual magazines you can buy in actual shops), adverts, TV shows, movies and videogames. But that's not my drive; the reason I'm in this crazy industry is because I enjoy it. If you're creative or quirky or kooky or cool, I want to meet you and work with you. If you've looked at my images and a light bulb has gone off, I want to help you bring that idea to life.

Former house model for:

• Olympus UK• Damian McGillicuddy• Jed Phoenix of London

I've shot with Olympus using prototype kit on the biggest stage at The Photography Show, and I've shot in a pokey flat using a knackered Polaroid while holding a sheet of tinfoil under my chin. I've shot in a cutting-edge facial capture studio with a bank of 20 hi-res cameras, and I've shot in a derelict piss-smelling building with no walls while being lashed by the Cornish wind. And I've loved every minute of it.

In addition to the glitzy and commercial work I do, I take particular pride in working with new and inexperienced photographers – I've been part of numerous workshops and mentoring sessions where it's been my pleasure to accommodate those still finding their way around all the buttons on the camera. On the flipside I've worked in high-end, high-pressure environments (like filming a scene with a very grumpy Vinnie Jones) and take equal pride in being a professional who gets the job done with minimum difficulty and maximum awesomeness.

Eek, too many paragraphs starting with "I"... Okay, I'm also very experienced when it comes to studio days and group shoots. I've done workshops for Olympus and the Royal Photographic Society, sessions for specialist groups like Photographers With Disabilities, and my goal is for every photographer on every slot to go home with great images and the urge to work with me again – something I'm pleased to say has been the case on every occasion.

Anyway, time for me to shut up and for you to give me a shout – the worst that could happen is that I'll say no :-)
