Jim is a real sweetheart, I have shot with him so many times now: at his place, on location and even on the sunny island of Menorca on our Arts Voyage adventure. :D So many fabulous memories working together - with our latest shoot added to that list.

I had been touring the South East (Norfolk/Suffolk and Essex) and was making a very brief stop in London towards the end of my tour. I'd been speaking to Jim and we were just in luck as our dates matched up - of course I was over the moon as ever. :) Another fine shoot at his letting rip with his fabulous lighting skill, creative enthusiasm and awesome model-phototog teamwork vibe... Why it would be rude to leave London without doing so. :P

I actually arrived at Jim's the evening before our shoot: he has put me up on many occasions when we've worked together and it's so reassuring to know you have a safe and comfortable place to stay that literally couldn't be anymore local to where you are due to work the next day. :D Upon getting to Jim's he proposed to eat out at a fabulous eatery to which he has taken me before: it couldn't be more welcomed after a day of travelling and shooting! So we were able to catch up and have a lovely evening - me winding down, and Jim updating me with all the awesome shooting endeavours and socials he's been involved in since our Menorca trip the September previous. He's always great fun to chat with and lovely company: also another reason why it's nice getting to stop at his instead of some questionable hotel in a dodgy area (I've done that before in London lol!) At least you know you're safe at Jim's and going to have a good crack/enjoy some valued natter during a very energy-demanding works trip on the road.

So the next day we did exactly what I expected: made pure excellence in the form of photos! :D Jim's personal studio setup at his home is terrific: he can create any effect at all with his lighting (he knows what he is doing) and utilises the environmental sets and furniture around his place in a number of ingenious ways. :D This time we concentrated heavily on fine art concepts with material which Jim worked tirelessly to perfect taking the whole scene and detail into consideration. We also did shapes, atmospheric portraits and even a spot of fashion! Methinks we were on a bit of a roll during this shoot - but then that's always the case working with him. He is an artist through-and-through with admirable drive and enthusiasm for his work. You see this in him when he's on set concentrating, and it also shines through in the finished product. :)

We were right in the zone of creating and enjoying the buzz of doing so, don't get me wrong; but the shoot maintained that relaxed and easy-going flow that Jim has always believed in from day one. We paused for snacks/tea and discussed what we would do next to maximise our time - there really is never enough time for us haha! But what I'm saying is that Jim operates with a non-pressured style. He likes everyone involved to be as relaxed as he is and feeling happy/comfortable with the work being done and the workplace/environment vibe... I've had nothing but pristine professionalism off of Jim each and every time we've worked together. :) He's got a huge heart that weighs him down and carries tremendous etiquette with him on shoots. We literally keep chatting all the way through the shoot time as well so that gives you an idea of the great rapport we have. :D I have no end of praise for Jim's approach to shooting in all respects. He's a gem.

Thank you so much for yet another lovely shoot Jim!

Another whopping recommendation from me as usual. :P

I’ve worked with Jim dozens of times now when I’ve visited London and come along to his or worked on location: it’s always been an amazing crack with an insane amount of lush images created, and I’ve been very well looked after as he’s a wonderful host to. :) So when Jim said that he was interested in joining myself and the beautiful Renaissance on a creative one-to-one duo photographic holiday in Menorca - I was just thrilled! Not only was I absolutely sure that Jim would make magic with his camera out there, but I was pleased to give something back and be able to look after him on our event after all the kindness he has shown to me over the years. :)

Jim always made it a breeze for me in the past with great communications allowing me to get sorted with tours etc. and it was exactly the same this time. :) We actually chatted through the planning and initial prep in good detail together to be well organised... Jim was due to be coming out for the second of two sessions that we operate on the trips and to the very moment we met at the airport, he kept me informed and made life so easy for me as I was dashing out to do the chauffeuring after shooting and preparing things for the next day. He’s such a chilled out and lovely person who puts ease on everyone that he’s working with - he can definitely come again! :P

As we got into the swing of our week together, Jim was clearly the social king and it was routine that myself and Renaissance would be wondering in and out of the villa sorting things out in-between the shoot sessions and Jim would be having a whale of a time chatting to everyone who happened to be there at that moment about everything and anything. :) He just loves having good old chin-wags with his fellow peers and making the very best out of an event/situation where multiple creatives are living together for the duration. Without a shadow of a doubt: the easiest gentleman to get on with, and just constantly full of positively upbeat vibes literally 24/7! :D We of course had exactly the same when making pictures - the prolific bounce in a good model-photographer working relationship set the tone for each window of shooting that we did making “work” seem a lot work like if that makes sense. Basically; when you’re working with someone who is just as enthused and happy a person as Jim is - and said photographer shows significant gratitude, respect and appreciation to your efforts as a model/host whilst allowing that strong collaborative quality to form in the picture making and then filling all the in-between in with nattering/giggling and good banter... It enormously takes the edge of the absolutely non-stop graft and dashing around like a crazy person that you’re periodically doing to try and make the event as pleasant an experience as possible for those in your company. Don’t get me wrong; I wouldn’t change all that powered “go” on the side of the hosts for anything, because it’s so rewarding to reap the rewards of doing so. But receiving the lovely appreciation and “willingness to help” such as that given by Jim almost makes you a bit emotional with joy haha! :D Oh speaking of willingness to help: Jim’s getting a relaxation order if he joins us again! :P Honestly, putting the kettle on, and jumping in to do other helpful things... I mean, whatever next!!!

So... Did Jim throw out some superb photography skills? OMG you bet he did! :D Slowly getting through sharing the outstanding images that Jim kindly sent. This photographer could be faced with absolutely anything - I mean we were out in Menorca! Since all the pre-scouted locations had their own individual challenges/light availability and potential environments, it’s underestimated just how much brain power is needed to keep thinking about how to adjust for this location and then the next. Jim was thrown into it in so many situations where the excitement for the moment and the image opportunity arose in a split second. From golden sun fall as the big ball of fire dropped from the sky, to working with significant distance for some shots getting the model as part of the landscape where you lose some communication ability. Darker nooks/open spaces/rocky terrains/shooting at night/mad angles - Jim nailed the lot. No exaggeration. He’s just got a natural eye for beauty and a supersonic ability to adjust for the conditions and light to balance it all beautifully. He values everything that a model brings to the shoot process in a one-to-one shooting environment, but knows his stuff so the combination of qualities just makes for exemplary outcome. From raw artistic work to the more conceptually styled work that we had arranged with creative makeup, outfits and props - he’s incredibly adaptable to styles and bears a sharp eye for a killer shot in all scenario. He sailed through both the solo and duo situations too - and anyone who has shot duo will know about the extra challenges simply in that! I just cannot give him enough of a “bigging up” for that because he’s someone who is truly passionate about photography, and it shines. :)

The memories made will stick for good! I know that for certain! And we sure made some phenomenal memories in Menorca. :D Thank you so much Jim for joining us on this beautiful island in conjunction with Arts Voyage.

1 million percent recommended!!!!! JIM IS A LEGEND!

When I first met Jim I knew we would get along great. Jim has a good sense of Humour, is fun to be around, is Creative with his Photography, Professional, has a good Eye to detail and gives Great direction.

Getting to know Jim over the week was a real pleasure, both whilst Shooting and whilst Relaxing in the down time.

The results I’ve seen so far are Stunning and I can’t wait to see the rest.

If you get the chance to work with Jim, jump at it. You won’t be disappointed.

Highly recommended by me with 5 stars *****

Great 2nd shoot with Jim!

Jim is probably one of my favourite people to shoot! He’s always very chatty friendly and professional!

I can’t wait to see edits from our shoot !

Highly recommended

I had such fun shooting with the lovely Jim! What a gentleman,full of charisma and creativity. It's refreshing to work with someone with such sound experience and vision. He let me work freely but also has a great sense of direction. Pre Comms were excellent, the pics look great so far and I'd highly recommend working with this pro photographer!

Flo X

Jim is a real character, warm, memorable and friendly.

I figured that out the first time I met him at the PP Socials. The second time he cheekily tells me: 'Flo I truly believe there has to be eye contact in a great erotic shot, how can it work without it?'. I replied that I hoped one day I'd prove him wrong. He now has told me that I successfully have.

Jim embraced my challenge, shot me at my home, explored the opportunity, my erotic way of posing and left my house convinced that anonymous erotica can work. My mission was accomplished as well as having a very pleasant and fun shoot.

Would love to work with Jim again. He brings a great energy to a shoot.

Gabriella .

Jim is such a lovely person to work with- really down to earth, kind and considerate. We worked together on a mixture of fashion to art nude and the day flew by with lots of laughter! I really enjoyed Jim company and the images looked awesome! Thankyou for a lovely day and I hope we work together soon, highly recommended!

Ashley Monroe

I had a fantastic first shoot with Jim. He was a pleasure to work wifh.

His pre comms were excellent and he gave very good direction during the shoot and It was very good fun!

Highly recommend to other models and I hope to shoot with jim again soon.

Ria Fantastic

Got to work with Jim recently on an outdoor and studio combination shoot! He is very hospitable and talkative, making his model feel at ease around him. Though we got misdirected at the park he kept a good spirit and that helped me to go on under the hot hot sun! (Rare for England it was). Really glad to have worked with Jim and hope to do so again soon! Recommend to any model.

Another really cracking shoot ka-boomed with the lovely Jim, in-fact I do believe we have had two since my last reference? I honestly lose track! Anyway... Always a joy to work with and no shoot is ever the same: on our most recent one for example we ventured into the world of outdoors shooting getting a whole new set of styles photographed at a stunning location that Jim recced and picked out himself - what a superb choice too! :D We did so many shots of various styles at the park, Jim found it no effort at all to achieve a mixture of complete natural light and also balance the flash with the conditions. And it goes without saying that it was a challenge keeping up with the sun - one moment it was bright and the next slightly overcast, but Jim is so patient and technically screwed-on so he just took his time to get everything right for the making of each beautiful picture. There were a fair number of spectators coming in and out of the park, Jim was wary of it and his knowledge/previous scouting of the area meant that we knew exactly what we could achieve and where without being disturbed. He takes a very professional approach to getting the shoot to go as smooth as possible, and the latest shoots were no different. :)

As always, it's a total joy to work with Jim at his home studio also... He comes up with really fun and creative ideas, always thinking outside the box and looking at ways to make the light add that extra "POW" to the image. We've shot literally all sorts in studio setups these last two occasions, from funky props to gels and wild hair! That's the nice thing about Jim too, he has the ability to visualise looks as well as lighting and will be game for suggesting different makeup and hairstyles which can literally make sooo much difference to an image. He then applies a lot of artistic thinking to the technical stuff, doesn't rush but rather strives to get it right and will take time to do so. He's a very versatile and good photographer, it's a pleasure working with him because he does put a lot into his work and also involves the models as part of that creative-bounce too so you end up with great teamwork orientated rapports each time.

Jim has also been so kind with providing me with accommodation on a number of occasions. I stayed at his for two nights on my recent visit, was so well looked after/fed and had tea until it was coming out the ears! It made life so much easier being there the night before the shoot so that I could descend upon Jim's living room for my crazy morning yoga which I like to do before my shoots if I'm not too rushed. I've always felt very comfortable staying and Jim is a fantastic host and really looked after me. He collected me from the station again with my famously gigantic suitcase, again makes like so much easier for a model on the road! There were laughs after laughs and the cute little cat whose adopted him even came around to say hello! A really pleasant sat as always. :)

The images are looking totally magic by the edit, it's always productive and imaginative with new ideas in the mix. Jim is a very social and friendly gent with great humour and you can have good banter with him. Always look forward to working together again. :D

Thank you Jim!

Big Shot Studio

I met Jim for the very first time on Ivory Flame's studio day and all I can say is what a lovely man. Jim has a wonderful sense of humour and has a very warm personality. He made both me and Holly laugh and it was a pleasure to have him in the studio.

Jim is a great photographer which is evident from his portfolio and during his time shooting in the studio he was completely professional and respectful of Holly. He was able to work using his own lighting set ups and was happy to take advice as well.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Jim and he is certainly more than welcome back to Big Shot Studio anytime. It was a pleasure to meet you Jim.

LewisLloyd

Jim may be small in stature, but is big in character with a vibrant personality. Jim is a keen photographer with many years experience behind him. His direction and communication with the models is good. Hope to see Jim on another shoot in the near future.

Dani Thompson

After meeting Jim at a Halloween party I threw 2 years ago when he came along as a guest of a friend, we finally got around to shooting together yesterday.

Such a fun shoot, Jim is enthusiastic and full of ideas and energy.

Time flew during the shoot, we almost forgot to break for lunch.

From the edits I’ve seen so far we got some great results.

I’d definitely work with Jim again.

Carla Monaco

Another great shoot with Jim and 2 of his friends, this time at a luxury penthouse apartment in London.

Jim was professional, great company and we had lots of laughs throughout the shoot.

The images I have seen so far are simply lovely/classy, really enjoyed the shoot.

thank you

see you again

Carla :)
