James was an absolute gent and I love how were about to turn my tint flat into a studio and get some really great images. Great and easy to work with, 100% recommend!

I had my first shoot with James near my place in the beautiful abandoned church a short walk from my home, themed as post apocalyptic, I knew this would be the ideal spot.

James communicated exactly what he was after which allowed me to be well prepared before the shoot and I was delighted to work with him on the day - finding that we’re rather alike in the way we like to work and socialise too. It was a real pleasure to spend a few hours with him and I largely enjoyed creating different moods following his direction and discussing shared passions such as urban exploring.

I’m really hoping to work with James again in the future as the results were amazing and the day honestly flew by with ease.

James is a very talented person and a wonderful photographer to work with, I have no hesitation on recommending him to all models!

Absolutely loved shooting with James at Antwerp Mansion, and got some stunning images back.

Thank you so much!

Can't wait to plan more shoots in the future.

Fully recommend.

I worked with James earlier in the year at my home location. James was really straightforward, friendly and concise in his pre-shoot communication. On the day, he was punctual and friendly and articulate from the very start, communicating what he wanted to achieve during the shoot, and working with me to get the most out of the time and facilities. James and I got creative, sharing ideas and working together to produce some unique and interesting work. James's respectful, considerate and inclusive attitude towards me as a model, created a well balanced professional yet creative atmosphere throughout.

James is passionate about making interesting and beautiful images and works hard to achieve work he is proud of.

The time flew by and I'm really pleased with what we produced.

I really hope to work with James again and recommend him to models and creatives alike.

Keep up the good work!

I recently had a home shoot with James from my new apartment. James came with plenty of ideas as usual and the time flew by all too fast. I’ve worked with James on a number of occasions now and never have we not had an amazing shoot. It always makes my day when James books me because he is not only the consummate professional but he is also a super fun photographer to work with.

Always highly recommended by me.

Best wishes

Thank you, James, and hopefully shoot sometime in the future again.

James gets my highest recommendation.

James came along to the studio day at York Photo Studio, booked a couple of hours, and what a lovely shoot it was! We got some incredible studio portraits, different outfits and backgrounds, and the images so stunning - James has an amazing eyes for creating wonderful images, not to mention, he's a lovely person, very respectful and easy going. Would highly recommend to all models!

Until next time man.

Another superb shoot with James on Sunday! I was very looking forward to this shoot.. James is one of the best photographers I’ve been working with the last year so we definitely had to arrange something else. Pictures were unbelievable and choosing the best ones was very hard. Thanks for the lovely opportunity! Looking forward to the next shoot already!

Had my first shoot with James in his lovely studio space recently.

He had a wonderful vision that a lovely MUA helped create.

James was chatty and friendly and went on a coffee run for us whilst the MUA was working her magic.

During the shoot James was great with directions, he was sure of what he was looking for and the images that came back were awesome!

Thank you so much for letting me be part of this!

I highly recommend James :) Hope we can work together again sometime!

Fantastic!

James was lovely from the minute I arrived, kind and great to talk with, even running out to get me and partner a coffee while we put together the final touches on my outfit.

His studio space is fab! Huge and perfect for shooting in.

We got some amazing shots, I'm already giddy to see them!! Can't wait!!

I'd be jumping at the chance to work with James again, and you should too!

Get booking!

I recently had the overdue pleasure of working with James after much communication over the last few months and following each others work for quiet a while!

We shot whilst I was hosted by Crossroads in Keighley for a studio day. We had strong Pre communication about the styles and attire we would shoot and James clearly had a strong creative vision as to what they wanted to achieve.

They were punctual and polite throughout the shoot, as well as alot of fun to work with! I felt we developed ideas very well together and came out with some very strong imagery!!

I thoroughly enjoyed my time working with James Dury photography and would highly recommend them.

Thank you ever so much for your time and I look forward to round 2 soon! 😊 Talli

This was my second time working as a makeup artist with James and hopefully it wont be my last. James has excellent pre comms and had great ideas for the makeup. He allowed me to put my own creative stamp on the look which is really important to me. He was very accommodating and the studio was fantastic. During the shoot James was professional and shot quickly, but was friendly throughout and really easy to talk to. I'd highly recommend James as a photographer and I look forward to working with him again in future!

James is just a star!

I had a studio shoot with him and MUA keli yesterday at his studio in york

Studio is a huge space and parking on site so it’s perfect! There’s a costa next door too!

We shot for 3 hours on a couple of creative looks.

James is just the best, he knows his photography stuff abs lighting set ups as well as being lovely and friendly also! We had a good chin wag as well as creating some awesome looks that looked great from the back of the camera.

110 percent recommend from me!

Look forward to working on something else in the future

Had a great time during my shoot with James yesterday- he met me at the station and we used his amazing studio space for the shoot.

Many antics ensued, including me getting wrapped up in a parachute. James had many great ideas and was willing to give anything a go to achieve the best photo.

I would highly recommend James and can't wait to see the photos produced :D

Marie Jean Saxton

Yet another fabulous shoot with James! I was really pleased when he booked me for a 1-2-1 slot on my creative day at York studios with my mua Keli. James is very easy to work with and unfortunately the time flies by! We’ve had fun on all three shoots and each time walked away with very different and fabulous images! Lovely gentleman and I highly recommend James to models of all levels.

I met James at a creative group shoot yesterday where he had the last one to one shot of the day. James was very laid back and so easy to get along with, it had been a long day but working with James really kept spirits up and the time flew by. He had great ideas for shots/posing of the model and I'm really looking forward to seeing the final results!

Hoping to work with James again in future!

Marie Jean Saxton

I had a fantastic shoot with James recently. We worked through a range of styles from portrait upto classy implied nudes.

James was very easy to work with and made sure I was kept warm and comfortable. This was our second shoot together and I’m glad James got back in touch to work with me again. A fantastic photographer fully accomplished and knowledgeable with lighting and he didn’t take one bad image of me.

Thankyou for another great booking James.
