I had a lovely shoot with James in Big Shot Studio and hopefully we will be able to work together again one day!

James was so amazing to work with! He's a really good photographer, with amazing style and technique and I absolutely loved what we created.. I feel that we worked together really well and had a similar vision of sensual erotica that's tasteful and beautiful.

Moreover, James is just fun to work with! So easy to chat with, funny, open minded and relaxed. It was a really great shoot!

I would definitely recommend working with him.Thank you and looking forward to working with you again! :)

Had a fab shoot with James, mainly duo shots and video with Joely and then a few shots and video on my own. He was very welcoming and easy to chat to. We’d already discussed the basis of the shoot so there were no surprises in the day and I understood the style they were after. He was professional throughout and we had fun during the shoot.

I had the pleasure of introducing James to Cyprus when I je came out for a very quick whirlwind trip the other day!

The weather was glorious, the locations delivered (though we had an unexpected crowd in one location). It was a very relaxed but productive shoot in four different locations, with a stop for lunch at my favourite place!

James is always a pleasure to shoot with, easy to chat to, respectful and lots of fun banter. We captured some lovely images and all in different styles - I cannot wait to see the edits.

The only problem was it was so great a day just wasn’t enough hehe!

Highly recommended by me and I hope to be able to persuade him to come back some time.

Had my second shoot with the lovely James!! :D Was so happy that he booked onto a duo event organised by Stephanie Dubois! Having worked with James before I knew we would get some wonderful results and I have to say he took some of my favourite shots of the day! :D

James is always very considerate and thoughtful! He brought a great energy to the shoot and was super easy to work with! He was respectful and professional throughout and i wouldn't hesitate when recommending James to others! hope we get to shoot again!

I had been really looking forward to my shoot with James, and it certainly did not disappoint! For the most part we worked one to one, but for a part of the shoot we created some duo images with Joely, and both parts were brilliant - I genuinely thoroughly enjoyed the entire shoot. James had provided mood boards prior to the day, which really helps in terms of understanding the style of images he is looking for, and as a result we achieved a lot in a relatively short time, while maintaining a relaxed and laid back approach. I absolutely love the images I have seen from the shoot - James' portfolio speaks for itself!

The only downside is that the time flew by way too quickly. I would recommend working with James without hesitation, and very much hope to shoot with him again - thank you James :)

I had the genuine pleasure of working with James on a duo shoot with Joely. We hadn't really talked much before the shoot, however James was there, set up and ready to go right on time. He brought along some great picture ideas which struck exactly the right note in terms of what we all wanted to shoot. James quickly put me at ease, and I had no qualms at all about either taking his direction or throwing in the odd suggestion here and there. James knows what he wants, works quickly and without undue fuss, and as far as I could see from the camera back it's an approach that works very well indeed. I can't wait to see the finished images, meanwhile James gets a thorough and sincere recommendation from me.

Excellent, excellent first shoot with James! Pre-shoot comms were great. We shot several widely varied sets from outdoors to indoors, and each set was brill! Great conversation & creative shoots - my kind of photoshoot! He has an creative eye for look planning and shooting. Thoroughly enjoyed the shoot and the images are stunning. James has one of my highest recommendations! Definitely shoot with James. Thanks & I'm looking forward to the next shoot! x

Had an wonderful shoot with James yesterday. He had a variety of ideas and he knows how to take great pictures, you can tell straight away that he’s a professional. I got to meet his lovely dogs and kids :3 He is really easy to work with and a lot of fun! I felt comfortable and the most important we got some beautiful pictures which I cannot wait to see ^.^

Would I recommend James? Oh, definitely!

Hope to do more shoots together in the future!!

I had the lovely pleasure of shooting with James on my first studio day at the awesome Hacienda in London :)

Pre comms were great and James arrived well prepared on the day with a load of ideas to shoot, James works very quickly and knows how to take advantage of the fantastic natural light of the studio.

We worked through a variety of different sets within our time together of portraits, fashion, lingerie, fashion nude, and art nudes :D

James was very easy to work with, he was very down to earth and chatty which always makes the time fly by, so I can of course easily recommend him and I would jump at the chance to work with him again!

Thank you for a great day,

It was an absolute delight to get James along to one of my video tutorial workshops!

Pre comms were absolutely spot on, as I'd worked with his partner before I'd already heard an awful lot of good things and I'd seen and admired his stills work so I was very much looking forward to see that translated to video.

James is friendly, chatty and down to earth. One of those people that you instantly feel comfortable with and while clearly serious about his art he was a great laugh to be around and we got on famously.

I was super impressed with his video work, really he needed very little help from me so we concentrated more on some of the conceptual stuff and on editing and post processing.

What he captured in a short time blew me away - James is a fast learner!

Great photographer, great bloke, very much recommended and I hope to catch up with him again!

James attended a video worksop with myself and the fabulous Arrow photography at the Hacienda !! What a pleasure it was to work with James!! He is very enthusiastic and has a great energy! It was very easy to work with him and I think what he captured was super awesome !! He clearly had a great deal of skill, though I very much respected his want and dedication to continuing to improve and learn more! James has a really great eye and I just loved his approach and creativity!

He was friendly, professional and respectful throughout and I would hesitate in recommending James to other models! I really hope we get to work together again next year!!

I loved working with James yesterday!

His pre-shoot comms were great. He explained his ideas to me prior to the shoot so, I knew exactly what we were doing and what to bring with me. During the shoot I found him to be super chilled and pressure free, which made for a relaxed atmosphere during the shoot.

I enjoyed working on his ideas especially as this meant I got the chance to model with his partner Joely on a unique idea.

In all it was a fun shoot. The pictures have turned out great!

I would work with him again. I highly recommended to all!

Thanks for the Mini Milk! :)

Had an awesome shoot with James and Joely at a fantastic boutique hotel location.

James was organised, friendly, and instantly made me feel at ease. He was respectful throughout the shoot, and was sure to check with me that I was comfortable with certain poses etc. Pre-comms were excellent, so I had a clear idea of what to expect from the shoot, ensuring the shoot went smoothly on the day.

James is a great photographer - would definitely recommend working with him, and would be more than happy to work with him again.
