What a fantastic guy! So happy we finally got to shoot!

I'm pretty sure we had this planned since before the plague and its been a few times we tried to rearrange our shoot... Anyway, James drove to Sheffield to shoot with me and we've spent 3 hours working in gorgeous Botanical gardens, shooting natural light and the variety of fashion styles.

James is total pleasure to work with. I also really loved how dedicated he was in getting the right shots - he didn't mind that it was trying to rain and then next second it was super sunny... We worked around the weather conditions together and absolutely smashed it.

I would be extremely keen to shoot with James again and try something different next time. 100% recommended by me, what a lad!

Thank you so much James for a lovely afternoon and sorry I am slightly late with your reference! Let's meet up again sometime 😊

I had the honor of working with James and the pleasure of meeting his lovely wife. The shoot was amazing, we had good conversations and laughed over things, he gave directions whilst allowing me to be myself, we created some great pictures and I'll recommend working with him 100%. Looking forward to working with him again.

I recently worked with James on a shoot at his home studio. His communication in the run up to the shoot was excellent and on the day he was really friendly and welcoming. We were shooting a 'colour' themed beauty shoot and James was keen to try lots of various lighting techniques to make sure he achieved the perfect shot. He was relaxed about me trying out different makeup styles and generally having a non-pressure environment to experiment and learn.

I have seen the final edits and I'm really happy with how they turned out. I definitely recommend working with James and hope to do so myself in the near future!

I has a shooting with James and his wife last week. We enjoyed a lot together and we had a very easy communication. I absolutely recommend him to any model. He is professional and punctual.

Can't wait to see the final results :)

Thank you :)

James joined us on a Hollywood themed vintage shoot at Panavision HQ. James and I had the same camera, so that was a bond in itself. I would not hesitate to recommend James to other creatives and hope to see him on another shoot some time.

Had my second shoot with James a couple of weeks ago and it was just as fun as the first one! He has a very good home studio which was all ready to go on arrival. He has a great sense of humour and his shots are very steady indeed! :D

Had a really good shoot with James! Although he hasn’t been photographing for long, he definitely has a good idea of what works and what don’t!

He came up with great ideas, and even some ideas for posing. He worked with the space he had from home and I believe we got some great shots.

Overall, great shoot & James is extremely polite and kind.

Had a lovely shoot with James who is fairly new to the industry. He was good to chat to and you can tell he is interested in what he does.

All the best for your future in photography 😊

James is a fantastic photographer, with a lovely personality and a good eye for lighting. He and his assistant on the day were punctual and perfect! And if you want a great shoot with a laugh this is definitely the person to consider working with, especially as the photos turned out great!

It was a absoloute pleasure working with you and I hope I will be considered for your work in the future.
