ABOUT ME / CONTACT
INTERNATIONAL MULTI-AWARD WINNING MUSIC, SPORT, EVENT PHOTOGRAPHER
Im a photographer based in Bournemouth, Dorset, with a strong presence in London, and I have over 12 years of experience capturing a wide range of subjects and events. Over the years, I have built a reputation for versatility and reliability, working across music, sports, corporate, and commercial photography. Every project I take on is approached with the same focus: to capture moments that resonate and tell a story.
My portfolio reflects the diversity of my work, from high-profile Premier League matches to some of the biggest music festivals in the world. I have been recognised for my work, earning nominations for the British Photography Awards for two consecutive years and winning the Events category in 2020. Awards are great, but what matters most to me is capturing images that speak to the viewer and connecting with people to create definitive memories.
Photography has been a part of my life since I was 17, and my love for music has shaped much of my creative style. I aim to capture the energy of a crowd, the excitement of live performances, and the emotions of artists in action. I have worked on 90% of the UK’s most iconic music festivals, as well as worldwide events such as Tomorrowland & Miami Ultra where I focus on creating visuals that transport viewers straight into the heart of the event often through the eyes of the artist.
Beyond music and sports, I work on commercial projects with top brands, corporate events, and sponsorship campaigns for huge events such as the Champions League and Boxing. My approach is always fun, professional, creative, and focused on achieving results that have real impact with my clients.
Travel has been a huge part of my career, touring regularly with Legendary DJ and Business Guru Steve Aoki. Capturing his life on the road. With his love of free diving and water, we also spend a fair bit of time under the water capturing his diving too! This takes me all over the world and to the biggest festivals. EDC, Tomorrowland, Ultra and hundreds more!

I had worked with James before so knew he had an exceptional talent for capturing memorable moments in a unique way but he took things to another level again on the launch campaign for Flyhawk. James takes the time to listen to your brief, introduce additional ideas and delivers the goods! I will most certainly be working with James again in the future for further projects.”
