James is an absolute pleasure to work with and a very talented Shooting Director. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone. He took our brief and ran with it and delivered exactly what we wanted every time we’ve worked with him.

James directs and shoots beautiful documentary footage. He has the confidence to let scenes run, and the nerve to intervene when necessary. His organisational skills make him a great asset in the field and edit. He always puts his hand up if he has spare capacity, and communicates early and clearly with execs.

Its been a very positive experience working with James – he shoots and lights beautifully, and is hard working, professional and always communicates well when out on location.

I have worked with James regularly since 2021 and not only is he an excellent cameraman who covers everything well, but he understands editorial and the importance of getting the right content. He listens, and when I am edit producing he reliably brings back everything beautifully shot. I have also worked with James on location, he is a great team player, calm and collected under pressure with a can-do attitude that you want on a shoot. Matt Smith, Producer Director, BBC Bristol.
