James was a really lovely guy, he covered my rate of pay and travel expenses. When I arrived he greeted me at the door and from the moment I met him I knew it was going to be an easy going shoot. He was professional, kind and new what look he was after.

I would definitely work with james again!

Had my first and hopefully not last shoot with James yesterday. All pre coms were fantastic and the shoot went so quickly. James knows exactly what he wants and has a very calm and relaxed attitude. I felt comfortable and at ease to do my thing and I look forward to seeing some of the finished work. Highly recommended!!

I have worked with James few times and he was always on time and well prepared for the job. I really recommend him as he knows what he's doing and always puts model's well-being first.

I had another fantastic shoot with the lovely James on Friday! James came to Map studio to work with me for a couple hours and get some tuition from white label photography. He is such a pleasure to model for, chatty, kind respectful and clearly loves photography! He took pride in his work and listened carefully to what he was being taught and put it all into action when shooting me. Im looking forward to seeing the results from the day. 100% recommended by me and id work with james again at any point in the future. Thank you for a lovely shoot :-)

I had a fantastic shoot with James yesterday. It was all arranged pretty last minute, but James' communication was excellent and we managed to get the details arranged quickly.

I knew the style we were going to be shooting as James showed me and example before hand. We were experimenting with the flash outside. His assistant Tim was also very lovely and friendly.

James constantly made sure I was comfortable during the shoot, was on time to collect me and made sure I got back to the station on time. I definitely recommend him and will be working with him again in the future!

James attended a 1-2-1 lighting workshop that I hosted at MAP Studios with model Amie Boulton yesterday, and it was an absolute pleasure to have him there.

Although we didn't have a huge amount of time to get to know each other, I'd have no hesitation in recommending him as a photographer to anyone looking to work with him.

Hopefully catch you again in the future, James :) and best of luck with the new lighting techniques!

What an absolute treat James is to work with!!

James decided to book in for some 1-2-1 tuition with Chris Conway and i was the model. His pre comms were fantastic so even before meeting him i felt that i knew him and i had a clear idea of what he was hoping to achieve. He was a delight to model for, 100% respectful, kind and full of energy. He listened to everything he was being taught and put it into action and ive seen already some amazing results! I hope James enjoyed the tuition as much as we enjoyed having him there. I genuinely hope to have another opportunity to work with this great guy again. Thankyou for a lovely end to a very busy weekend you were a star :-)

James is a brilliant photographer for several reasons.

He has a Solid knowledge of lighting, my bright eyes and dark skin pose challenges for many but James was up to that challenge as well as lighting up me and Pandora. We went for a poker shoot which a lot of effort went into organising the location, the table, the cigars, it was all ready when I arrived.

Very easy to get along with helps everyone in involved. Funny, chatty,

Gives great direction but is also open to hearing your ideas as a model and takes it into consideration.

Hopefully we will work together again soon.

Hi I worked with James a while back at nitelife in Leicester on his play catfight projects...James always came up trump's with action and models of high calibre..Despite his battles in life he always seems to win an accolade in the end!
