About

Welcome to my photography website. Feel free to get in touch with any queries or questions. 

I am based in Sussex and love to keep it local. So many of my favourite clients and places to visit are within 10 miles of my home. 

When I photograph commissions for clients and capture landscapes for the joy of being in nature, my technique is almost the same. I take a moment to reflect on the scene, searching for details that either tell a story or are visually appealing. I use natural light and often photograph at first light and dusk to get the best results possible. When out on the South Downs, I love to go out when the weather is unusual. I seek bold colours, odd textures and lines, movement and reflections on the water. 

When photographing people at events and with my portraiture work, I seek expressive moments and emotions, a glimmer of light on smiling eyes filled with amusement, people embracing one another and individual personalities. 

Photography is a massive part of my life, and I welcome the variation it brings. My main objective is to create striking images that engage others, whether of a wedding, festival, event, portrait or local landscape.

Over the past few years, I have begun offering photography courses and tuition. Sharing my photography knowledge with others and teaching them how to use their camera equipment efficiently gives me great joy. 

When not behind the camera, I’m generally out in the Sussex countryside with my family, lapping up the occasional sun ray, walking on The South Downs and swimming in the sea.

  • “James photographed our wedding and we couldn’t have been happier! He has a very calming presence which put everybody at ease, and did a really wonderful job of making sure that we had photographs with all of our guests as well as plenty by ourselves. We are a very awkward couple in front of a camera, and James balanced giving us direction with taking candid photos and we are so thrilled with the final pictures. James also supplied the photos incredibly quickly. We are so glad that James photographed our day, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone else.”

    Dilys Hinkley, Wedding, Lewes

You were the perfect addition to our day too, easy to have around, calm and fun. I’d be happy to post feedback somewhere if that would be helpful to you and of course will recommend you to others with no hesitation! Thanks again. We wish you all the best in future endeavours."

  • “I booked James as a property photographer for two houses in West Sussex and I was impressed from the start. He was prompt to reply, friendly, and had looked into our houses and locations before getting back to me. The results of his visit were absolutely fantastic. His interior photography brought our houses to life and they will be incredibly useful for our campaigns - I'm so glad I found him!. Anyone looking for property photography in Sussex shouldn't hesitate to contact James.”

    Beth Naylor, holiday home operator

  • “James is an unassuming and modest man, but he is a hugely talented photographer who taught us things in a few hours that would have taken years of study to learn. I definitely have a much better grasp of what I can do with my camera than I ever had before. I would definitely recommend James's workshops, and I hope to join another one soon!
