warm words

"Anyone in need of headshots! Here's your guy! He put me at ease, made it so so simple and for someone very picky about pictures of myself, I was thrilled with the end results."

Matt Harper CEO and Artistic Director, Next Door But One

"James you are an absolute star. Your photographs have brought our values, support and stories to life. You understand people and people is what we are all about"

Bec Horner - PR & Comms, Two Ridings Community Foundation

"James is one of the most thoughtful, kind people you'll meet. This has given the shoots a wonderful edge of compassion and fun, making patients and NHS Staff feel at ease."

Griselda Goldsbrough

Art and Design Development Manager, York and Scarborough Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust

"James has worked with us on various projects at York Minster. His documentary style has been perfect for capturing people, places and atmosphere. The high quality of his images preceded by his sensitive approach to a subject, theme and understanding of what a project is about make him a truly remarkable photographer."

Helen Moore, York Minster

"I've used James many times for production shots in the theatre, where a photographer has to be quick, calm and reliable."

Michael Lambourne, York Theatre Royal

"James always captures our events perfectly & it's not always easy! Quick rehearsals, low lighting, fast paced activities...he smashed it again!"

Colin Jackson, Producer, Yorkshire Schools Dance Festival

"As a theatre company, we look for photographers who bring their own ideas, can take the essence of a play and capture it in a still image. His presence in a rehearsal room, dress rehearsal or preview performance is naturally helpful and never a disruption."

Alex Wright, Flanagan Collective

"James goes the extra mile and it's always a pleasure working with him. He gets on well with the young actors and they feel relaxed during photoshoots and filming sessions."

Frances Simon, Theatrical & TV Agent
