2024 Travel Photographer of the Year shortlisted - Rising Talent award
About Me
I like listening to people. The power of art photography is to ask questions of society, to support and nourish it. The art of photography is to allow a freedom, an escape from the constraints of everyday life. I wouldn't profess that I fully understand it, or could hold my own in a conversation with the great masters - I just like creating stories.
I’m a creative and accomplished photographer and writer. I work in a school as a teacher. My pictures have been published by the Sunday Times and Docu Magazine. 2024 has been an amazing year culminating in being shortlisted for Travel Photographer of the Year.
Curiosity takes me on amazing adventures around the world and allows me to meet fascinating people.
I've learnt how to analyse, critique and communicate well. I’m organised, and happily work within a team, individually or autonomously. I’ve become a great orator and presenter over the many years teaching my skills in different schools. I help to create ideas, project plan and visualise the everyday - these important skills I pass on to the next generation.
Most of all, and possibility most importantly, I’m hardworking, warm, empathetic and resourceful.
If that sounds like someone you'd like to work with on a project, big or small...

"We wanted photos to portray our business the way we see ourselves, which is a fine balance between looking professional, relevant and approachable. James can do this because he understands, and wants to engage with, personality and setting as well as just the technical aspects of lighting and equipment."
- Helen, architect ABHR_A
