The really awesome approach and professionalism of James made me feel comfortable and creative at our shoot. We shot in a cool location he arranged and we both had input in the creative process. I appreciate everything James brought to our shooting - food, clothing items...

Lovely person, I had a great time and hope to work again sometime!

Phenomenal first shoot with James!!!! Simply 5 star! :D We has been speaking before about shooting when I’d made previous visits to Belgium (we just got unlucky with dates) but then we kept in contact and a positive plan began to unravel for a day during my latest mega-tour of Europe. Words cannot express how happy I am to have been able to shoot with this super cool creative during my ambitions international adventure. It’s shoots like these that makes the hours of planning, endless travelling and dragging a broken suitcase around fully worth it. :P

Morning of the shoot: James very kindly picked me up from my Airbnb accommodation where I’d stayed the evening before. Given the fun I had getting there the night before I’m so grateful of this as James knew the place we were going to well and helped me lug my ridiculous suitcase up to the venue/dodging puddles on the way... A good egg in my mind before we’d even taken any pictures. :) Then there was the awe of the simply GORGEOUS pad that James had arranged for us. This guy has BLOOMIN GOOD TASTE and evidently a terrific eye for what’s going to make a good shot. :D I mean this place was plushhhhh; we were blessed with natural light, class decor and furniture, lots of space. We were spoilt for sure - and full credit goes to James for sorting all this out!

My raving ramble doesn’t stop there: once the shooty magic commenced, we gelled from the first second and OH MY LORD! The pictures! The sheer brilliance of the pictures! From sassy lifestyle to sophisticated glam... To absolutely stark-raving-looney-barbie-in-the-bath. LOL! :P the versatility was just oozing out of a tremendous rapport that we rolled with and I can wholeheartedly confirm that this gent knows how to take a cracking picture. He had a whole host of ideas for good places and corners to shoot; but at the same time was so welcoming of my input with things like styling. He bossed the light, bossed the composition and just rattled one killer photograph off after another! Definitely a highly productive and creative highlight of my whole trip. :D

James himself is the epitome of a model human. He’s just such a genuine and nice person: easy to get on with, would help anyone out at any hour of need and a good sense of humour/really sociable too. :) As a photographer - 1 million percent professional in his approach! Respects the model in every sense and strives very hard to guarantee a safe and amicable working environment with all the right vibes and confidence. I honestly cannot bellow it loud enough just how highly I recommend him to other models. :)

So with all that said: of course I’d be absolutely BUZZING to get the chance to work with James again. :D

Thank you for absolutely everything - a legendary shoot for sure!

Artemis Fauna

I spent three very sunny days at the end of 2019 shooting with Mr Box in the Algarve...and what a way to end 2019 it was!!

Three fun, creative, warm, relaxed and productive days- shooting a huge array of genres and styles!

James even bought some Belgian chocolates and wine with him- I mean, WINNING!!

I really enjoyed the three days we had to shoot on a 1-2-1 Artemisian mini trip. We pretty much chatted all day, took hundreds of amazing images and enjoyed the social times in the evenings too. It was superb.

I really hope I can get to work with James again- abroad or UK/ Europe. It was a pleasure to work with him.

Thank you so much James- SOOOOO EXCITED to see the images from our shoot- ahhh, there were just so many!! Haha :) :)

Arabella

What a bloody wonderful shoot with James! He applied to a last minute casting and his comms were perfect!

The shoot & all it's details were arranged so easily!....

I was so appreciative that he drove all the way from Belgium to work with myself and Alicia K.

The whole shoot from start to finish was; relaxed, professional and so enjoyable! We had lots of chat, plenty of giggles and took some amazing images!

I can't recommend James enough!... What a respectful and lovely person to work with. Included in this is his photographic talent of course, he was able to work in a new space efficiently and allowed us to make suggestions, a real collaboration of ideas!

The images we took were absolutely stunning!...

Thanks again James for a fabulous shoot & I hope to get the chance to work with you again in the future!

Absolutely loved working with James! James worked with myself and Arabella in Utrecht and I'm so glad we got the chance to shoot!

Lovely, friendly guy who was easy to get on with and so easy to work with. I love that James approaches shoots as a collaboration - we got some fantastic results and I really enjoyed our shoot :) Creative, experimental, fun!

I highly recommend James and hope to work with him again in the future! Thank you!

Aurora Phoenix

Had an excellent shoot with James Box on my Tour to Brussels.

Shooting with James is always amazing! For my third shoot with I absolute loved it as usual.

Ideas and communication were great prior to shooting and we planned to explore lots of themes and concepts. As a result, the shoot had a clear direction. James is incredibly creative and always looks at the model from different perspectives and angles. I loved his creation of some art style images and playing around with mirrors. Shooting with James was relaxed yet productive at the same time. James is so easy to work with and I loved bouncing ideas off each other during shooting.

More than recommended! Thanks for a fantastic shoot once again.

Until next time…

I had an absolutely super shoot with James on my recent trip to Amsterdam!

It was a duo shoot alongside the beautiful Nicole Rayner. We started the day in the apartment we had and then moved to a wonderful location James had sourced nearby! It was such a beautiful studio, gorgeous natural light and textured walls. Such a creative environment to be in :)

As usual James was keen to truly collaborate and happy for me and Nicole to input our own ideas too! From what I saw on the back of the camera the results were amazing and I can't wait to see some final results from the shoot :D

Always a pleasure working with James and hope to see him again soon!!

Highly recommended by me :)

Summers Abroad

James just joined us on his first (hopefully not last :P) Summers Abroad photographic holiday to Las Vegas.

I was super excited when James booked on, having worked with him 1-2-1 I knew he would be a great addition to the trip. I wasn't wrong! James is such an amazing person to work with, he is full of life and is not only respectful of his models but just generally awesome company too. Which meant not only did the shoots go fabulously but in the downtime he fit in to the group really well (that's what she said!) haha :D

Honestly it was just a fabulous few days and I am so glad he joined us! Not only that but his images - omg! Just incredibly beautiful. He has sent me some final edits already and I am blown away and cannot wait to catch up on my backlog of images to upload them!!!

Highly, highly recommended by us and I hope he can join us again in the future :D

I had an impromptu last minute shoot with James during my tour in Belgium and yess!! What an awesome end to my Belgium tour! Thank you James :)

We met up in Brussels and explored some local parks, it was great that James knew the area and the locations he picked were beautiful. We were blessed with a stunning golden sunset that seemed to dance the sky for hours. We did a cool variety of fashion shots from Alice in wonderland style to some strong architectural moody fashion. I am looking forward to seeing the images!

Thank you James for being a great host and I look forward to working with you again :)

Highly Recommended!

I had the most amazing and fun shoot with James yesterday at my home after he responded to one of my casting calls. I'm so glad he did!

4 hours of productive shooting and I cannot wait to see the edits now!

James is a great photographer, so easy to work with and such fun to be around.

I thoroughly enjoyed my Sunday afternoon yesterday and would love the opportunity to work with him again sometime.

Highly recommended!
