I had a fantastic shoot with James, shooting duo with Helen Diaz. He's a lovely person, very creative photographer and great to work with. I really enjoyed the shoot, and the images are fantastic :)

Highly recommended!

This was my second shoot with James today! Again at my home but also with the beautiful Hannah Clare :)

James was wonderfully prepared and arrived on time with a smile and enthusiastic attitude!

James was happy for me and Hannah to do our own thing and pose freely but he also had some great pose ideas for us to try out!

James was professional, relaxed and friendly and I hope when we work together again next it isn't two years apart!

Thanks James!

Had yet another fab shoot with James, but this time for mine and Katie Greens duo day at hers. James was well prepared with lots of cool ideas, as well as letting myself and Katie put in our own ideas.

James is always a pleasure to work with. He's reliable, friendly and highly respectful. I always have a great time shooting with James and would highly recommend him to anyone!!

Thanks James, hopefully see you soon :)

I worked with the lovely James again on a duo shoot- this time with the amazing Soria! As always, James is fantastic to work with- alot of fun, down to earth, respectful and very chilled to work with! He is super creative, thinks outside of the box and always takes wonderful photos! Every shoot is super productive.

Soria and I worked together on a mixture of fashion to art nudes around the house and had such a blast, creating different shapes and angles together, it was a very enjoyable day!

Thanks so much James and really hope to work with you again soon! Highly recommended, Helen x

I got to work with James again a few days ago during my tour! Yay!

He took me to a rather fabulous location and we shot some brilliant images in the four hours we had! I got covered in muck shooting inbetween the machinery but I loved every second!!

James was, as always, lovely to work with. He bought along snacks and drinks for us and was more than happy to try out any ideas I had too.

I can't recommend him enough! Really looking forward to seeing the images and shooting with him again soon, hopefully! :)

James booked me on my South West Tour and so pleased we got the chance to work together! Excellent pre-shoot comms, plenty of ideas and very professional.

James chose some awesome locations to shoot from, trying art nude, erotic and fetish styles, with some awesome props he brought along.

Highly recommended :)

James recently responded to the casting call for myself and another model to do a rural couple shoot..

The already chosen narrative was to be 'Running Away With The Farmer's Daughter'.

James was proactive from the beginning in suggesting potential locations and sharing images on the mood board we had prepared.

On the day itself, James was very knowledgeable of how to best use the environment and the natural features it had to offer. As a result the images captured were incredible.

After shooting we were able to immediately view the images together and agree on a selection for editing. James was very generous with his time and tremendously helpful in assisting with travel arrangements too.

Pleased to say we definitely made the right choice in working with Ghost Light Photography. The quality of work speaks for itself and is highly recommended by me :-)

Absolutely amazing shoot with James last night! He was professional, prompt and had loads of great ideas for images. The mark of a great photographer? When he's willing to lie on the edge of a 10 foot drop to get a great image! Can't wait to see the finished products! Pleasure working with you.

Had my third shoot with James today and once again I highly recommend him. We did a studio session and worked quickly along with the odd laugh. James is great to work with friendly and gives good direction, explaining his ideas clearly and showing the back of the camera so you know how to work your own shapes. Would very happily work again with him in future.

Helen Diaz

I worked with the lovely James again- this time as part of my Welsh tour, working alongside the beautiful Emma Willis! We worked together at Emma Willis' lovely home in Ebbw Vale and had such a lovely shoot!

As a person James is so down to earth, easy to work with and very considerate. He is creative and very experimental and creative with angles, which really shows in his photography. He is a talented photographer with a great eye (or two!) and always produces beautiful results! We had such a fun shoot, full of fun and laughte and lots of changes!

Thankyou for such a lovely day and really hope to work together again soon! Highly recommended, Helen x

James booked myself and Helen Diaz on our duo weekend together and came to my home in Ebbw Vale. Despite the extremely heavy traffic he kept us continually up to date and managed to make it and we had a great shoot! He's very quiet but really friendly and I had a good laugh with him, although I think I came across as a slightly crazy lady. We worked together really well and time time went so quickly! His photography is so damn good too, I think he got sick of me saying "ooh I like that one!"

Recommend extremely highly, and if I haven't scared him off, I would love to work with him again :D

Today I had my first shoot with James at Dave's Bungalow in Exeter. I'd seen James' work on Purpleport over the past 2 years and as well as being struck by his creativity I also thought he came across as a great guy and was eager to work with him. I was not disappointed and not only was James professional and friendly he was fantastic at using the available light and in a short space of time we had cracking shots from each set that we were both really happy with.

James was really laid back and the time seemed to disappear, but after 4 hours of chatter and photos we were both so pleased with the results. Thanks for a great day!

Finally got to shoot with James! I have been a fan of his work for quite some time, admiring particularly how he never stands still, there's always experimentation and progress. His portfolio really speaks for itself on that score, the development of skill and style is clear to see.

We had four hours at the Manse and knocked out an astonishing variety of sets as James was full of bright ideas and kept getting more as he looked around at what was available to us in the studio. He's thoughtful, flexible and considerate which makes him a joy to work with - messaging me before the shoot to ask what snacks I would like him to bring was a very comforting touch. More importantly though, he's visionary and will try lots of different things which keeps the shoot crackling along with the excitement building every time he shares what he's got on the back of his camera.

Recommended? 100%.

I had my 4th shoot with James today at a derelict location & it was great. As usual James was a pleasure to work with, friendly, fun and respectful. He had lots of cool ideas and always ensured that I was comfortable throughout the shoot.

James is a really lovely guy, who's down to earth, caring and a gent. His work has come on leaps and bounds and the images he creates are awesome. Thanks again, can't wait to see them.

Another lovely shoot with James!

Despite our first location flopping due to it not being previously scouted - and a silly guide book not pointing out it was a pretty epic walk away :P - and the fact we got stuck in traffic and spent the first 2 hours of our shoot driving around!! We had a surprisingly productive shoot!

He had found a great little scrapyard type studio near by to where I was staying and the amount we got done in the last 4 hours of the shoot was incredible! So many different looks and all of them bloody awesome from what I saw on the back of the camera!!

Just another great shoot and not once did he let the bad luck at the start of the shoot deter him or dampen his mood :)

Highly recommended!!

It was good to have Ghost Light come and use the yard/workshop.

He found may photo opportunities, which led to very successful images.

Hope to see Ghost Light here again soon.

What a fab shoot with James this evening along with Model Miss Marie.

James's pre comms were excellent, he arrived in great time and had ideas flowing the whole time. Easy to work with, friendly and talented .

I had a lovely shoot and the images straight from the camera look fab all ready.

I highly recommend shooting with James!

I had my second shoot with James at Ashton Studio in Bristol, again James was lovely to work with, very friendly and had some great ideas throughout the shoot.

With lack of studio lighting we managed to get a good variety of different shots and covered a wide range of styles.

I'm really looking forward to seeing the pics as the last lot were awesome.

Thoroughly enjoyed working with James, hope to do so again soon.

Highly Recommended by me

Thanks again James

James was my second shoot on my recent tour. Pre-shoot communications were great and James very kindly collected me and dropped me back to my hotel.

We shot at a derelict location and James had plenty of ideas as to what he wanted to achieve. He was happy to listen to my input too and I feel we worked well together. James is easy to work with, friendly and respectful.

Can't wait to see the images from our time together as I love his style of work.

I sincerely hope that we have the opportunity to work together again in the future. :D

So me and James finally got together for our 2nd shoot. We had been trying to arrange it for months but our timetables never seemed to match but then James had a cancelation for a shoot at a hotel room so I got to step in :)

James is an awesome photographer. Constantly moving around getting different perspectives and angles with each shot. He really does put a lot of effort in. He even brought some prosecco to do some cool shots in the shower which came out AMAZING! James wanted to do some different shots and wanted to really push himself on this shoot.

James even experimented with different lighting sources throughout the shoot (gels, lamps, natural light constant lights). We got so many cool photos and I am so super pleased with them.

I do hope to model for James again in the not too distant future.
