I have been lucky enough to shoot with James a few times now and I'm hoping there will be many times yet to come!

James is SO easy to get on with has the utmost knowledge and professionalism. He has such an eye for detail and his ideas are always winners! He has made me fall in love with latex and when a day goes by that I am not wearing any, I start to feel all sad!

He is a sweetheart through and through and he has helped me create some of the most memorable and beautiful images in my portfolio.

Thank you again Jimbo! (hot wing challenge after the next shoot?) ;p

I shot with James again this weekend and as always it was a pleasure. He brought tonnes of outfits to wear which I really appreciated and they looked awesome. He has a great eye for a good image and is good at giving direction for poses as well as letting me do my own thing.

He's a lovely guy, easy to get along with and we're already looking at shooting again. Recommended by me :)

Finally had the chance to shoot with James after me pestering him for ages as I've been a fan of his work for a long time and he eventually gave in. As expected i wasn't dissapointed, I've received amazing images already.

James is a real pleasure to work with, easy to talk too and really fun to be around. He made sure i was comfortable and happy all the way through the shoot and provided me with lunch snacks and during, he also picked me up and took me to the studio.

James is a true gent and amazing to work with, plus he has a killer wardrobe, i cant reccomend him highly enough, his ore shoot comms are on point and felt like i already knew him before shooting which makes things easier :)

Thanks for a great day james, hopefully see you very soon :) x

I met James on one of photofincas Spanish trips this month. I can honestly say hand on heart he's one of the nicest blokes I've worked with! He's an absolute sweetie, so down to earth and with a genuine love for photography, James loves what he does and it shows because the quality of the images he took are second to none! He's got an obvious flair for kindness, compassion and friendship; he was the most upbeat out of the group, got along with everyone, had loads of fantastic ideas, wasn't pushy or demanding ...just went with the flow the whole week. He also looked after tillie and I with the utmost care and respect during and after shoots! An absolute star with a lovely personality & fab sense of humour ✨ recommended 100% by me.

I had a great shoot with James and another model at Hallam Mill studio in Stockport yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Communication in the run up was great, both arranging the shoot and deciding what styles we wanted to go for on the day. On the day James turned up with a huge array of latex outfits to pick from and throughout the shoot he was absolutely lovely to work with. Friendly and professional, helpful with direction and happy to go with the flow.

Having seen some of the back of the camera images I'm really happy with what we got and very much looking forward to seeing the edits.

Would definitely recommend James and look forward to working with him again! :)

I was lucky enough to spend a whole week with the awesome James on a recent photofinca trip to Spain! James was so cool to work with, I already knew before going that he was an epic photographer. Not only this but he is great company, so chilled and fun. He really looked out for me during the week, and I am more than happy with the shots we got together. A total professional - I think his portfolio speaks for its self... super cool!

So thank you for such a great week James.

It was truly awesome :)

Another awesome shoot with this lovely man in a beautiful apartment in Liverpool. He has great taste and working with him is relaxed and fun yet highly productive. It's always a real team effort when we shoot and I love the work we produce. Can't get much better than prancing around with a friend dressed as a latex cat! :D Top guy and talented photographer, highly recommended.

God knows how many time I have actually worked with James now - I lost count quite a while ago haha!

I have been working with him for the last 2-3 years and each shoot is so enjoyable, over the years he has become a very good friend and I love working with him!

Our last 2 shoots have been apartment shoots which have been very laid back, shooting some epic sets but at a really relaxed pace with food and a good catch up too!

I couldn't recommend him higher if I tried, genuinely cool person who is just fun to be around :)

Natalia Forrest

Have a great Christmas!!

Kind regards

I have shot with James countless times now, the last 2 being awesome apartment shoots. We had chilled yet productive times doing these shoots and also a great laugh. Definitely my preferred way of shooting. James is a lovely guy and always likes to make sure you're happy and comfortable. It also helps that we have the same taste in clothes/latex/lingerie and he always has lots of amazing things to try! I can't recommend James enough. Thanks mate! :)

Mr. Bessant... there isn't much else I can say about this guy, all you have to do is read my last reference for him as that pretty much sums it up!

I absolutely love every shoot I have with him, very good friend and an amazing photographer. All my shoots with him make it in to my top fave shoots because they are all so easy going, fun and we come away with awesome images too :)

Total legend basically, and looking forward to next time :D

I had the pleasure to work for a whole week in Spain with James.

He is an amazing photographer! I just love his style! He is also so friendly and sweet that it is not possible not to enjoy working with him. He always cares about the model, trying his best to make her feel comfortable and happy.

Highly recommended :)

Finally!! I had the pleasure of shooting with James last month at a studio day in Hallam Mill. I found him to be respectable and I felt totally at ease with him. He's a joy to work with and we achieved some fab shots looking at the back of camera. I can't wait to see the edited images! He has a much better wardrobe than I have as well... So next time I'm lucky enough to shoot with him i won't be taking anything of my own haha. He's a great laugh and we had some good banter In-between as well. I would recommend James to any model. Fab!!

Thanks James

I had my 'god knows how many' shoot with James on Monday.

He is not only one of my fave people to work with but he is also a very very close friend. I have such a ball with him and even when he isn't booking me for a shoot we are going out for food and a good catch up.

He is SO easy to get on with I don't know anybody that doesn't enjoy working with him he is just so laid back and you will have such a fun and relaxed shoot.

Not only that but his wardrobe is friggin' awesome and one any model would be jealous of!!! And he takes a bloody mean photo too.

I always look forward to our shoots together and I would be shocked if any model said otherwise!

I mean what else can you ask for really?

Yet again - Highly recommended :D

I've been super lucky enough to shoot with James three times now! James really is one of the best! Super laid back, fun, always has lots of awesome things for me to dress up in and always takes amazing images! Can't wait until next time dude! :)

Ella Winter

Shot with James several thousand times now and I've always had a wicked time!

James has more underwear than the average woman, all gorgeous high quality items too; not cheap nasty stuff!

James is great to work with, we get along fantastically and always manage to have a laugh while capturing some awesome images!

Thank you again, and I can't wait to see our photos!

Lots of love
