Another fantastic shoot with James at an amazing location. I've worked with James a few times now and will keep booking him as he is punctual, reliable, and always does a brilliant job at our group photography events. James brought along plenty of clothing (which we didn't have time for) and some great props which were perfect for the theme and location. We usually have 4 photographer at our events, but James managed to keep all 12 of us happy on this occasion. Thank you again James.

Had a shoot with James today, his communication up to meeting has been excellent and he came armed with outfits and props. Very professional, polite and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend James either on his own or part of a group. Definitely will work together again.

I worked with James on a 'James Bond' themed DUO at Studio 52 with Jonathan Tennant.

James is extremely professional. He sent exellent detailed pre-comms at least 1 week in advance, he kept up to date with travel arrangements, food reqs etc, and then we had a great variation of our own wardrobe costumes. James brought a host of props and we shot both outside and indoors. It was a fun experience and I can't wait to see the images. Fantastic!

I recently had the pleasure of working with James.

He is so versatile in so many of the characters he can portray.

He has a very easy to get along with attitude, wanting to get the best poses and lighting sets right for the photographer taking the images.

I enjoyed the shoot alot and came away with many images I can work with.

I posted a few of my favorites on PP & Facebook.

Absolutely, highly recommended by me.

Check him out.

Having worked with James a couple of times I was glad to be able to book him again for a 4 hours group shoot. James portrayed two chracters, a suave James Bond, and a 1930's gangster. He realy gets into character, and along with the music, smoke and authentic props this was a realy great shoot for everyone involved. James is great to work with, he is very relaxed and knows how to pose so that everyone comes away with some fantastic images.

Thank you again James, 100% recommended

This was my first ever photo shoot with James and he didn't disappoint. He did a James Bond and Gangster themed shoot and it was fabulous shoot. He had lots of different props and was full of energy the whole way through, he got right into character and I really enjoyed taking his photos. I will certainly look forward to another photoshoot one day with James.

Simply awesome!

James modelled for a gangster / james bond style workshop I attended. Very professional in all aspects. Great posing but equally happy to follow direction.

Experienced model with a relaxed manner.

I highly recommended James.

We cast James to play a bodyguard role in an outdoor photo and video lifestyle production this week and it was a great experience working with him.

Pre-shoot comms were smooth and efficient, with James offering a selection of 2-piece and 3-piece suits. He arrived early, with props. Throughout the shoot, his communication and understanding of direction were great, and his enthusiasm and good humour kept the production team and models in high spirits through the cold.

We would recommend James, and work with him again.

Shot with James for the first time at 'The Factory' studio in London yesterday.

He arrived with plenty of outfits and was keen & professional throughout the shoot.

He understood direction & fulfilled the brief more than adequately with enthusiasm & good humour.

I would be quite happy to shoot with James again and recommend him to other photographers.

Thank you James for a thoroughly enjoyable and creative duo shoot, my first with a male model. James brings exceptional talents in dance, music and acting. We were able to capture a range of themes and moods and his technical knowledge and flair gave me the confidence to work through a variety of sets with confidence that we were producing a high quality of work.

Excellent communication and attention to detail ensured that we had maximum productivity during our shooting time. I felt comfortable and respected throughout and because of this we we able to create creative intimacy that I'm sure will be evident in the images. I am looking forward to a further shoot or shoots.

Thank you James for professionalism and support.

I booked James for a second small group shoot in South London. James is fantastic to work with. He is a professional model with a professional attitude. He arrived early with all the clothing and equipment that we had discussed prior to the shoot. James doesn't need any direction , but was happy to go with the ideas of all the photographers present which made for a fun and relaxed evening. The pictures looked great as well!

Thank you James, I will certainly be booking you again.

Highly recommended!

Spent a pleasurable afternoon with James developing an idea I had recently for a new scenario.

James arrived absolutely on time without drama at the location with the items agreed before, and also with his own extra items.

I really appreciated James's effort, flexibility and input into formulating the new scenario and I'm sure I'll work further with him on this and other ideas in the near future.

James is talented, has a great look and is an absolute pro. . . . I would absolutely recommend working with him.

On a personal note . . . I really enjoyed chatting to James about stuff. . . He's a great easy going guy who it seems has lead an interesting life and has many interests.

Thanks James. :)

I set out to produce a court room comedy story and had 20 actors involved. James was asked to play a police office carrying out arrests and dealing with an unruly blind man. He pulled his character off perfectly. He acted brilliantly and interacted with the cast perfectly

He also stayed behind after to help me clear up to which I’m really grateful for.

Thank you so much James.

Till the next time

I had the great pleasure of meeting and working alongside James, at a group shoot organised by Gino Cinganelli. James is a great guy, excellent actor and model and very likable. Good humoured and professional. We had an excellent day, and I'd thoroughly recommend working with James if you have the opportunity. Here's hoping we can shoot together again soon.

I worked with James on a spoof courtroom scene; he nicked me. His roleplay was so good, I’ve only just found out he wasn’t really Old Bill. Fabulous actor and thoroughly recommended.
