Basford Hurst Cottage Photography Location

James came to Basford Hurst Cottage to shoot with Daniella Carter on her sold out studio day.

It was lovely to welcome James to Basford, he is polite and friendly and worked well with Daniella throughout their time together.

James was respectful of our location and we would recommend him to other studios and models.

I had my first shoot with James yesterday as part of a studio day at Basford Hurst Cottage and we had a great time! James is quite the perfectionist, making sure he took his time to ensure lighting and backdrops were the best possible to shoot! I really enjoyed working with him and hope to work with him again in the future! Thank you James!! :)

The Apex Studio (Telford)

James attended another one of our workshops.

This time we we more hands on & instructional shooting images inspired by hollywood lighting.

James is always a pleasure to work with & works really well with his models.

He gets on well with the rest of the group & is always very polite.

I have no hesitation in recommending James to other models & studios & look forward to working with him again.

After some correspondence about the studio and the shoot, it was great to finally welcome James to the studio for his shoot on the AJ the Model Studio Day.

James is passionate about his photography and had plenty of ideas for the shoot.

Respectful to AJ the studio and its equipment. Happy to recommend and hope to see James back again soon.

I recently had the pleasure of working with James during my Bridal Event at The Boardroom in Derby, and from the initial message until the final goodbye, he was polite and professional. His pre shoot communications were excellent, answering any questions I had quickly as well as providing me with some outfit ideas to bring if there was spare time at the end.

He arrived on time for the shoot and was happy to have a good look around the studio as it was his first visit. Once we were all in attendance and ready to go, James was polite with the other photographer that he was sharing a timeslot with. They worked together to have equal shooting time, showing James' timekeeping ability.

During the shoot itself, conversation flowed easily and we got along fantastically, chatting about this and that. I'd highly recommend James to other creatives, and if you're getting married any time soon then 1000% book him - his shots from the day were sensational!!

Thankyou for a truly wonderful shoot, it was a pleasure to work with you and I hope to do so again in the future!

Had a great shoot with James at Apex studio. He turned up on time ready for the madness that was about to occur.

It was my birthday shoot so lots of fun, balloons and cake!

We all had such a laugh shooting and James was really easy to work with!

100% recommended!

James booked on to one of our wednesday night workshops.

Pre comms were good & James arrived on time.

It was the first time James had attended one of our workshops, however, he got on well with the rest of the group & worked really well with our model.

This was a fun birthday cake smash with Lottii Rose for her birthday.

It was very messy & we did have lots of fun

James is polite & respectful when working with his model.

Recommended & look forward to seeing him again soon.

I've had the opportunity to work with James twice now and both times has been a pleasure.

James is very easy to work with and allows me to pose freely as well as coming up with his own ideas, we've managed to be very creative together!

We've created some great images now and I hope we get to work together again!

I'd recommend him to models of all levels

Hopefully see you again soon!

This was the second time that I had worked with James, both times having visited my studio in Derby. This time shooting as part of a group shoot on Samii's lighting workshop.

James works well with the other photographers and behaves himself with the model. I hope you managed to catch some super images James and I look forward to seeing them.

I met James as part of a glamour workshop, which turned out to be a great day! Professional and polite, I would be more than happy to work with him again!

I met James at studio lighting workshops I was running with Paolo Lorasso.

James was part of a group of four photographers in one of the two hour sessions. We got lots of lovely pictures in a short time.

I would be happy to work with James again if I do more workshops!

First time working with James. We shot a range of styles at my home in Manchester but mostly lingerie.

There was a few complications to start with on my end but he was ever so understanding and polite. I recommend him to any model!

We are already discussing a second shoot.

I shot with James at the amazing Antwerp Mansion, pre comms were great and he was very organised. He was friendly and professional on the day, obviously very passionate about photography and always looking to better it. We got some amazing shots and I look forward to working with him again!
