Recently did a shoot with James Peaky Blinders Inspired.

It was a lot of fun, he is super relaxing to work with, did everything i asked and worked well together and created some stunning images.

Looking forward to doing some more work together.

Fantastic first shoot with James. Turned up right time right location with options for outfit and styling. Actually showed me a location to shoot in which was perfect as the weather was wet and cold. Would recommend and I will certainly be shooting with James in the future. A genuinely nice guy.

This was my first time shooting with a male model and James was brilliant. He is very friendly, experienced and this made it very easy to get some great photos.

His communication was great before the shoot and during shooting he has the experience to know what poses work well for him. He is creative and asked of questions to make sure we got what I wanted. Also he brought everything I wanted fashion wise, plus a whole additional collection of clothes, which was a great.

I can't recommend James enough! He is great model, genuinely nice guy and am sure will be working together again.

James is probably one of the nicest most caring models I have ever worked with, showing me around the locations before setting down to a few (I'm not from the area), a Pinterest board was created in depth beforehand which really helped get all the ideas together. I really appreciate the fact that James went out of his comfort zone for me to be able to create the images we have, and got straight on with it and took direction very well, with James being a dancer this also helps him a lot with posing and thinking outside the box. I highly recommend James to anyone! There's not enough models out there like him! Absolutely amazing guy and model!

Worked with James for the first time today, we ventured to Tanfield Railway for a little shoot that yielded some very good location backgrounds and some real good images.

Initially was going to a dual shoot but when the other model dropped out James was happy to still go ahead on a solo basis and explore the area for good shot ideas.

Impressed with confidence, stature and presence James gives on camera given my first shoot with a male model and he is communicative and prompt.

Looking to shoot together in the future on projects, certainly recommended from me.

My first shoot with James was an impromptu last minute shoot in the studio, it was a relaxed shoot. James was professional throughout, whilst still being easy to work with.

Would I recommend him? Well put it this way I suspect this may be the first of a few shoots, maybe a little more planning going into shoots rather than a couple of hours where James saved me from having an empty studio when I had time to shoot.

Good enough to work without direction, but also good enough to listen when it's given. James has a genuine interest in not just what he's doing, but also what you're doing to help him understand how to create a better image by working with the light setups/changes etc

I look forward to shooting with James again soon, on planned shoots.

I had my first shoot with James recently - a location based shoot at South Shields beach. James is an accomplished dancer, personal trainer and model. I really enjoyed working with James and preparing for the shoot itself. We had planned a number of themes for the shoot and both came prepared with a stack of costumes and props. James also brought a friend along who was able to help with lighting which was fantastic. We got some great images from the day and it was really good to be able to shoot with a male model - and one who was so versatile and enthusiastic. These images have really helped build my portfolio with creative and different shots. I am very happy to recommend James as a model and I am already planning future shoots. Thanks James :)

Worked with James down at the beach for some fitness images. Easy and fun to work with and goes the extra mile to get the results!
