Hedonistforlife-uk and I have worked together with the iconic UkCuteGirl Lucy on numerous occasions in the past. What a team they make ! James knows exactly how to taunt her, frame her and show her off to best advantage. James is also an outstanding model in his own right. He looks good and is skilled at what he does.

This time the James/Lucy team were joined for the second time by the stunningly beautiful Kineta (not on PP - yet). The setting was my sail boat on the sunny waters of Portsmouth Harbour. Our '007' was fawned on by two beautiful girls in the briefest on bikini's and even these did not last the afternoon . . .

I like working with James. He is a man's man and we relate well. He understands to role of the male model in duo/trio shoots and performs magnificently. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Hedonistforlife-uk to fellow photographers and potential female model duo partners.

I am normally wary about shooting trio's as getting the lighting right on three bodies simultaneously is very challenging. However when UkCutegirlLucy contacted me and said that she and Hedonistforlife-uk wanted to shoot with a non-model female friend of theirs I accepted with alacrity. The reason is simple - I have worked with Lucy & James many times and so they understand my idiosyncrasy's and of course, the presence of Lucy & James in any shoot guarantees its success.

And so it proved to be. I have just completed working the shoot - the images are exceptional.

James is is great guy who knows how to provide the often understated support role in a B/G duo. This time it was a G/B/G trio but our man took it in his stride. Hi played a decadent Viking King, an immaculately groomed butler and participated enthusiastically in the high-jinx of a student outdoor rave.

I will work with Hedonistforlife-uk again and again in the future. If you have not done so, you should.

Hedonistforlife-uk is one of my favourite male models. Why ?

1. He has a good physique & a rugged look.

2. He is in control of his facial expressions - able to 'act the part' as required.

3. He understands that in B/G fantasy-erotic imagery the principle role of the male is to 'frame', provide context for and draw attention to the female model. He does this well.

4. He is a no pretenses down to earth guy and easy to work with.

This shoot was another full day duo with UkCuteGirlLucy, our third to date. Lucy is an exceptional model (see separate review) and together with James, they produce astonishing images.

To give you a little taste - having Christmas in mind, we played Santa and his "little helper", with Lucy doing her level best to distract our Santa from the task at hand. This was followed by some jiggery-pokery and late night capers at Club Tropicana. And then an outing to the local stables to play with the most devine little pony-girl . . .

The images speak for themselves and for Jame's considerable talent - he carries my unreserved endorsement.

I did the tying for a rope suspension shoot with HFL this week and it was great fun.

We shot 2 models and HFL was really easy to work with, very professional and put everyone at ease.

Seen a few of the shots and they look great so far.

Great photographer and highly recommended!

This was my second B/G shoot with Hedonistforlife-uk

UkCuteGirl Lucy was the lucky lady. As expected, he showed Lucy off perfectly - first as King Arthur of Round Table fame, then as a gullible fisherman lured onto the rocks and then finally as the gallant Sir James of Whitehall.

James has a slim powerful physique and is a good looking guy who knows how to best show off his lady. His modelling skills and facial expression control is good. He is a gentleman and a real pleasure to work with. We will definitely be working together again in the future.

I have absolutely no hesitation in commending Hedonistforlife-uk to fellow photographers and to female models who may be looking for a male partner in a B/G shoot.

What a guy, what a model !

I met James for the first time when UkCuteGirl Lucy brought him along to my studio on Sunday for a duo art-nude/fetish shoot. James is a photographer but was strong-armed into moving to the other side of the lens by Lucy - something he accomplished seamlessly and with aplomb. We shot for 7 hours straight - something I seldom do now-a-days. Time just disappeared so we were obviously having fun by the truck load. And the back of my camera sung their praises !

For me, the most important element in having fun is working with enthusiastic models that just love what they are doing - love trying new things, love creating . . .

James is just that. I had him in everything from formal dinner jacket to a paint-soiled work mans outfit to nothing. He was chained up and "lady-mangled" by a rampant Miss Lucy but he just went with the flow.

Other than his enthusiasm, three things stand out for me about James. Firstly, a first class physique, second a great attitude and good understanding of the males framing role in duo shooting, and finally his ability to sync body language and facial expressions.

A great guy and first class model. We will unquestionably work together again in the future.

Had a great first shoot with Hedonistforlife yesterday!

Pre comma were great, he collected me from the train station and we drove to the air bnb we had booked to shoot at. I felt at ease straight away and by the time we arrived st the location there was already a friendly rapport!

The shoot was very well prepared for with plenty of things to use. The shoot was a lot of fun but still Hedonistforlife was a true gent and professional throughout, and brought lots of creativity to the shoot.

The images looked great on the back of the camera and I’m excited to see the end result. Would highly recommend and I hope to work together again in the future! :)

I shot with James for an hour in the studio and then UK Cute Girl joined us for another three hours and it was fantastic.

Such a fun shoot!

Today I had my first shoot with James while on tour in Devon and it was an absolute pleasure :)

We arranged the shoot last minute after I had a cancellation, and it worked out perfectly! We took some great shots and James was on time, super respectful and easy to work with.

I'm really looking forward to seeing the edits and would certainly recommend him to other models :)

Thank you! X
