I recently had the pleasure of working with James on a magical illusion-themed shoot, and I can't speak highly enough of the experience. From start to finish, James was the most respectful and patient professional I’ve ever collaborated with. He consistently checked in to make sure I was comfortable, asking if I needed a break or anything to drink, which was truly considerate and much appreciated.

James also went above and beyond by covering all my travel expenses, including train and tram fares, making the entire experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible. The shoot itself was wonderful, filled with creativity and a fantastic atmosphere. He’s a remarkable talent and a genuinely kind person. I would absolutely jump at the chance to work with James again!!!

James booked me for a magic themed shoot. He had very good contact with me before the shoot. He was at the studio when I arrived and was friendly and respectful, we had a good natter during the shoot about lots of things and I really enjoyed it. Hope to shoot with him again - Jenny James

I had my second shoot with James a year after our first one. It was great to work with James, he’s a real gentleman, always making sure I was comfortable.

He has a real passion for what he is doing and a very creative person.

Thank you!

I had a second great shoot with James. As always, it was really great and a lot of fun! James met me near the hotel and helped with my heavy bag. He offered me tea and tried to create a comfortable and good atmosphere throughout the shoot. We had a nice chat, and time flew very quickly! James prepared a lot of amazing outfits and had a huge amount of really great ideas for the shoot. He even gifted me some of these amazing outfits that I am very happy with 🥰. James made me feel at ease and was really fun to work with!

I absolutely recommend him, and I am looking forward to our next shoot, James.

Thank you, James!

I had my first shoot with James and definitely not the last. It was a magicians shoot and a lot different to what I usually shoot or have experience in. Nonetheless it was fun. James is a very easy going and chilled guy. Pre shoot communication was thorough and friendly. James is very professional and very easy to work with.

James is an easy going and fun photographer and magician. The shoot and pre shoot comms were well organised and the shoot flowed perfectly. A fab opportunity for models to add something different to their portfolio, expertise and repertoire. Highly recommend.

I had the pleasure to meet and work with James for the first time in Manchester.

He prepared everything for an illusion show such as a zigzag trick and a magic mirror effect. It was my first time to involve in a trick and was fun. James is polite and easygoing to work with.

We did magic! I had so much fun exploring a quirky concept with James. A unique project for sure. James himself was on point with communication running up to the shoot, and was extremely polite and above all, extremely respectful during. I felt I was in safe, gentlemanly company. James had brought some fantastic costumes for the shoot, that I felt extremely comfortable yet glamorous in! We explored the different designs that James had made for his illusion, and shot with 3 different styles, with guided direction for the different facial expressions James wanted to create. We then finished up with a small interview, and I really had a fun shoot. Thank you for shooting with me James, I will happily create with you again ✨🌼✨

It was lovely meeting James, he is very creative and organised. He made sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. I had to push the shoot a little bit earlier due to an audition after our shoot and it wasn't a problem at all for him. I appreciated the fact that he is flexible.

It was my first time doing magic tricks and I had lots of fun learning how to do it and being his assistant.

I would recommend James to anyone, he is easygoing and a real gentleman.

Thank you!

James was super organised and clear in his shoot comms & planning so I knew exactly what to expect. He ensured I was comfortable throughout, and even bought some refreshments etc. I also appreciated James needing to reduce the shoot time - due to other commitments - but still honouring the rate we agreed. He’s a true gent and very creative.
