A very creative and enjoyable shoot with James. He listened to what I wanted to achieve, and made the whole experience feel very comfortable.

He is extremely knowledgable and a genuinly nice guy. I learnt so much about maximising the physique that I have, my posture, and the use of light and shadow.

His relaxed manner, attentiveness and patience helped me to relax and enjoy the shoot, which resulted in some amazing shots which exceeded all my expectations.

Great shoot with James. He is an excellent photographer, lots of ideas and attention to detail. And he's interesting to talk to as well - and offered good strong coffees. Thanks for the shoot. Definitely recommended

James was such an easy person to work with, communication was fantastic, very open to my planning while also coming up with great concepts to evolve. Not rigid to one idea on the day, and instantly put me at ease. I love the photos, loved working with him. Will 100% shoot with him again, as should everyone. A gorgeous collaboration; and he made my muscles look so big! Thank-you thank-you!!!

First shoot in a very long time and more exposed so naturally I was nervous

James put me at ease straight away and made me feel at ease with my nudity. We got some great shots throughout the shoot and I did not feel rushed or embarrassed at any point. He suggested possess and brought the best out in the photos taken getting me fully involved in the process to realise his vision. I would highly recommend him and look forward to more

Collaborations in the future

Shooting with James a second time was even more joyous and creative than our first (which was already an AWESOME shoot). He has this incredible ability to tailor the shoot to you, and bring out of you these ideas and challenges that are specific to your own style, mentality and concept. I adored our first shoot, and it contained some of my best shots... this shoot: trumped it! Which I did not think was possible. Just the loveliest guy, and the most wonderful photographer. I cannot praise him enough, and the more we build this simpatico together, the more incredible our work will become. CANNOT WAIT!!!!

My first shoot with James at his home studio. New his stuff and was easy to work with. Great images!

For our second shoot we had more specific shots in mind, again it was a mix of trial error. The process was fun and productive mixing face paints with costume play across different setups. Recommended

First shoot with James and was a lot of fun, working through ideas and concepts at and say relaxed pace, the time just flew by. We defining got some good shots and a couple of great shots. Already brainstorming the next shoot. Recommended

For our second shoot James had some specific shots in mind, including one or two with a bit of experimental trial-and-error. The process was fun and productive, and we’ve got some strong images as a result. Recommended!

James was a pleasure to work with. He makes you feel relaxed and knows how to get the best out of you. Before the shoot, he took time to ask what type of shots you would like e.g. (high key/low key light), whether you wanted to do nude, implied nude or clothed and had a selection of photobooks to give you some ideas on what could be achieved. James is clear and confident in directing you during the shoot, so that you both get what you want in terms of final pictures. I would definitely recommend James and would work with him again.

James had a specific look in mind for our shoot, which I was only too happy to help him achieve. We tried a few different gels and exposures, and he was patient with my posing. We ended up getting just what he wanted from the shoot. He’s good company too; I’d be happy to work with him again.

Had the pleasure of shooting with James yesterday. It was a last minute organised shoot. Easy communication and great idea exachange... and it all came together very quickly.

The shoot was great fun and very creative. The lighting / multi-exposure / shadow work was brilliant and hugely successful. James in addition to being a great photographer was very charming and friendly.

I would be delighted to shoot with him again!

What a creative explosion! - Spent an afternoon with James experimenting with all kinds of ideas - usually off the wall and distinctly weird - which is why we both enjoyed the shoot enormously. We got some great images and some happy accidents resulting in some great shots along the way - and I ended up covered in chocolate - what's not to like

IF you want an interactive participatory shoot experience, James is your man.
