James’ ‘names not numbers’ approach means sessions are unhurried and personal, and portraits are finished with careful hand-editing to create images that will be treasured for years. Portraits are ready quickly too — James’ studio turnaround reflects his commitment to great service without the wait. For business portraits and professional headshots James brings the same specialist focus: approachable, polished images that translate well online and in corporate contexts. If you need a professional LinkedIn photo or a clean studio headshot, James will ensure you feel comfortable in front of the camera and that the final image represents you authentically and professionally.
