It was wonderful catching up with James on my recent Belgium trip! Due to Covid we hadn't seen each other since 2019 so it was really nice working together again. James has hired an absolutely STUNNING loft location for us to work at that had beautiful natural light and industrial style decor.

James as always was a joy to work with, we had a good natter and worked our way through a few different looks, stopping half way for a drink and a waffle (which was super yummy and I have became a little addicted to since trying on our shoot haha!). From what I saw on the back of the camera we got some great results too that I can't wait to see!

Highly recommended and hopefully we don't leave it as long next time :)

I met James recently during a group shoot. He was very calm, gentle and polite. I was very impressed by his photography skills and attention to details.

The final images are astonishing and I couldn't be any happier with them. Shooting with James was truly fun and adventurous and I hope to work with him again one day.

I recommend James to anyone looking for high quality and creativity.

I had my first shoot with James during my hotel shoot/tour in Gent- and I was absolutely thrilled to!

James is a very respectful, professional photographer with amazing skills and an even more wonderful personality. I felt safe, inspired and enthusiastic shooting with him.

I'd recommend him to anyone- and I'm already looking forward to another shoot in the future :-)

I was delighted to work with James for a second time during my most recent Europe tour! James is a fantastic photographer and equally great host, after a long journey, he was kind enough to provide lunch and even catered for my veggieness.

We previously worked together many moons ago, before covid. At the time we spoke about a shoot in the future, who knew it would be almost 4 years later. Nevertheless, we reconnected and shot at his home near Gent. On this tour a travelled with another model Megan and we shot mostly duo's during our session. James had a moodboard sent out in advance and we were able to review and create with the inspiration at hand.

It was a wonderful start to our tour and so lovely to start with a bang and create stunning images to be proud of from the get go :)

Thanks James, I hope we get another chance to shoot in the future, hopefully closer than 4 years though :)

Highly recommended!

I’ve been shooting with the lovely James for such a long time now. Since 2018. We have had a few shoots in the UK and many shoots together in Belgium. We shot during my recent tour to Brussels at my hired apartment earlier this month.

It was lovely to see James again and we had so much to catch up on since our last shoot a few months back. James had so many interesting story’s to tell and he’s always such a delight to be around. It was great to have another lovely shoot together and a good catch up.

We created a variety of stunning images together in so many different looks and set-ups James is just so easy to work with and he’s such a talented photographer and a great person. We had a blast!! Time slipped through our fingers far too quickly.

110% recommended from me. Thanks again James for another fabulous shoot. Until next time

I worked with James during my recent trip to Belgium. He was punctual, kind, funny, and chatty. I felt safe and comfortable the whole time. I think we spent at least as much time chatting as we did taking pictures, but somehow he still managed to take stunning pictures that I can't wait to see after selection and editing!

I would recommend working with James to any model and would of course love to work together again!

It was a pleasure to work with James on a recent remote shoot from Belgium to Uk.

James was super friendly, easy to to work with, he followed my remote shoot instructions perfect.

James sent me some lovely images from the shoot which are beautiful and even though the remote session was short, we still were able to have a good chat and created some super images, very productive indeed.

I hope to work with James again in 2023.

Thanks for a great shoot.

Best

I had a fantastic shoot with James during my first Belgium tour.

He hired an absolutely beautiful location and he met me at my accommodation to collect me and drove us to the shoot.

James is friendly, respectful, professional, creative and passionate about photography.

Excellent pre-comms.

I really enjoyed working with such a creative photographer!

We shot a good number of sets in the time we had and we managed to have a few breaks too. We used various areas of the location, including a swing!

I hope we get to shoot together again in the future :)

Highly recommended photographer and human :)

Had such an incredible duo shoot with James box and Monika Lara Smith during our recent modelling Tour to Belgium at our hired apartment. I’ve shot with James countless of times over the years and he’s always such a gentleman who is so professional, respectful and a joy to be around.

Prior to shooting as always pre-communications were excellent and everything was super easy to plan and organise. On the day of shooting James arrived promptly. We all had a good chat, laugh and a catch up prior to shooting which was so lovely. This really put me at ease and shoots with James are such a relaxed and low pressure atmosphere yet, really productive too.

James is such an excellent photographer and he has so much experience shooting duets. He helped us fine tune our duo poses along with choosing outfits that matched together and complimented each other from both of our suitcases. He also utilised the space that we had spotting really cool areas to shoot in that worked well with our poses and outfits. James had even brought along some outfits and props of his own too.

Overall, once again we got a variety of such INCREDIBLE and AMAZING images in such a variety of looks and settings it was such a productive, creative and fun session.

110% recommended from me!! Me and Monika had such a blast shooting with the lovely James again. Until next time ;)

James and I are really beginning to understand each other on a whole different level after our (fifth?!) remote shoot together! This was yet another duo for us this time with Jemma H and as with before his pre shoot communications are second to none, they are super informative and he provides all of the necessary information ahead of time, including items he wants to use. On top of this, his photography skill is fantastic, and he's clearly an accomplished photographer, happily adjusting the settings as we went through the shoot, even when he was battling direct sunlight!

It's always a pleasure to work with James and I know with his ability superb images will be captured. Conversation flows so easily between us now, and he got along really well with Jemma as well, showing his versatility and adaptation ability.

I would absolutely recommend him 1000%! Thankyou for another fab shoot!

I had the absolute pleasure of working with James, remotely at a duo home shoot day with Angel Black. James was so lovely, and was good at communicating what ideas he had and what he wanted to shoot. The three of us got on well and bounced ideas around. From what I saw, there were some stunning images! Can’t wait to see the outcomes, and would highly recommend:)

I had a really lovely remote shoot with James alongside Arabella at Studio Luminescence recently with the theme of hats and headdresses.

James was extremely creative during our shoot and he communicated really well about what he wanted. The three of us worked well as a team and the images he has produced are stunning.

James is friendly, chatty and a joy to work with. Highly recommend from me! Thanks James!

So many beautiful images from my shoot with James at my event in Poland! We squeezed in a quick 1 h shoot and I think we got some of our best pics then! I have already shot with James a few times before and always valued him as a respectful photographer and kind person. I like his ideas and open approach to photography. Of course, I recommend him!

Angel Black UK

I love working with James, he truly is a pleasure to work with, even remotely! We haven't yet had the pleasure of working together in person, but the remote shoots we've completed have been epic - including our recent which was a remote duo with Ashley Ashton. His pre shoot communications were fantastic, well thought out and well planned, then well executed.

He arrived on time to our agreed meeting time and was happy to listen to our advice regarding natural light etc and used that to choose the first room appropriately. His eye to detail is fantastic and he was happy to adapt throughout.

He was a joy to work with (as usual!) and I absolutely recommend him to other creatives.

Thankyou for a fantastic shoot!

The highlight of the Belgian tour was meeting and creating with this absolutely lovely fellow - not only immensely creative, but immensely respectful, relaxed, thoughtful and great company!

We shot for the day on one of the hottest days this Belgian summer, starting off at the cute wee apartment I’d booked, doing a mix of fashion, lingerie and quirky nude portraits, lunched, then headed off to an amazing studio location - I think we could have shot for three days there and not covered every potential image! The images are INCREDIBLE, still blown away by how brilliant the shoot was.

James is a lovely soul, great with communications, chatty, very model safety aware, artistic, fun to be around - would highly recommend to all models.

Thank you again!

Happy 100th reference!

I had a lovely shoot with James last weekend at an old fort in Belgium. We shot both outside and indoors and I think we got a good variety of different styles. James was lovely to work with, really chatty and friendly and the time flew. He had a great balance between letting me pose myself and offering direction when he wanted something specific. I would highly recommend working with him and I hope to again at some point in the future.

Angel Black UK

I once again had the pleasure of working with James. His pre shoot communications are excellent, well thought out and then well executed. We shot remotely, on location and James was incredibly patient- he was very understanding of the limitations, such as signal dropping in and out and he was happy to adjust when necessary.

He was polite and professional, and conversation easily flowed between us. His eye to detail is amazing, as he chose the locations carefully from me panning the camera around. The back of laptop images looked fantastic and I can't wait to see the edited images!

As always, it was a pleasure and I totally enjoyed working with him - I would 1000% recommend him to others.

Thankyou for a fantastic shoot!

I had my first shoot with James when he booked me and Aurora Phoenix as a duo at stunning Loft Van Volxem and then we had a few hours of a solo shoot at my hired apartment in Brussels and oh wow - I am already looking forward to our next shoot!

James is such a sweet & lovely person!! :) He is so kind, polite, interesting to talk to and soooo relaxed and easy-going. Working with James is a real pleasure due to his friendly approach and personality.

I must say that I really appreciated that James hired Loft Van Volxem to shoot me and Aurora together as well as booked a few hours at my apartment afterwards - it was 5 hours all together, so I admire James for risking 5 hours of his precious time to put up with me... :D Poor James, he's probably still recovering from it.

James is such a talented photographer, with a creative mind and he's very open-minded at the same time which makes working together really enjoyable and easy!

We created SO SO many beautiful pictures, exploring different ideas, concepts, trying out different outfits and our results were absolutely impressive.. James was so kind to share our results with me & Aurora which I am so grateful for (thank you!!).

Thank you so much James and can't wait to work with you again! :)

Had such an amazing Duo Shoot with James Box at Loft Van Volxem with Monika Lara Smith during our Tour abroad together in Brussels, Belgium.

I’ve shot with James a few times before in the past once in Belgium years ago and a few times in London. I was so excited to shoot with this lovely photographer again and to introduce him to my fellow duo partner and friend Monika.

Prior to shooting James was excellent at communication as always. We chatted through logistics on Instagram and everything was so easy to set up and organize.

When we walked into the location me and Monika were gobsmacked and we were blown away. It was huge and a bloody incredible natural light paradise. There was a lovely wooden swing, beautiful plants,, such lovely glass and reflective wooden floors.

We really utilized the space during the shoot and it was like a dream. We shot a variety of fashion, lingerie and implied nude for me and art nude for Monika. James was just so creative and was really helpful with poses and helping to make things work as a duo. James has shot so many duos in the past so is really experienced in this area.

It was also James birthday during the shoot day and it was just so lovely that he decided to spend the day shooting with me and Monika. We were so touched.

Thank-you so much for such an incredible day James and I’d love to shoot with you next time I’m in Belgium and I will be back for sure.

110% recommended and another fantastic shoot at that!

This photographer is professional, respectful, friendly, kind, creative and talented. A true hats off to James Box.

James is firstly a super human being :), and then he's a great photographer, and thirdly a great customer of my studio. He has been more times than I can count, and is always super considerate and respectful for the model. His comms are always great, and when he commits to a shoot, he is good to his word. He is super creative and allows me to throw some (sometimes) crazy ideas into the ring for the shoot. He is calm and considered and a pleasure to work with in the studio. Thanks James, see you again soon!
