Having been a photographer for over ten years,
James initially started out in press photography
applying his trade on all types of news stories while
learning the skills needed to become a top
professional.
After working hands-on and gaining the knowledge
needed to move forward with his career, James
ventured to London to push his creative and
technical abilities further afield than news stories.
James’ creative abilities and keen interest in fashion
led him to assist the renowned Jon Gray ABIPP,
before making his mark while assisting the world
famous Rankin.
Working on various high-profile shoots for the likes
of Vogue and other top fashion houses has helped
James to develop his own unique style as a top
professional.
Currently working all around the world for an
impressive list of high profile clients, James says his
work is constantly changing and developing thanks
to his passion for high quality images.
“To test the Ringflash Pro I decided to use it on a
shoot that I already had planned as I thought the
ringflash effect would lend itself very well to some
of the images I was going to shoot.
The location of the shoot was a Georgian town
house in Central London which provided me with the
perfect backdrop for the style I wanted; so, with the
location sorted and my usual collaboration of hair
and make-up artists, stylists and art director together
we were ready for the long day ahead of us.
As we were going to be moving from shot to shot
and from room to room quite quickly, I wanted to use
the Ringflash Pro with the Explorer 1500 Battery
Generator which allowed me total freedom of
movement; I didn’t have to worry about if or where
there was a mains connection available to me on the
next set-up. We just picked it all up and moved to
the next shot; easy.
When I first used the Ringflash Pro I was amazed at
the amount of light it was capable of producing; I
was able to light up an entire room from the one light
source.
The quality of the light produced by the Ringflash Pro
and it’s usability is second to none; the new foam
handle is a great addition too as it allows for move
free-flowing, fluid movements when you’re shooting.
I also found the Ringflash Pro was great to use as a
more traditional side light when shooting off-axis;
again the quality of the light produced was fantastic
and added that extra spark to make the images really
stand out. The thing I was most impressed with from
the Ringflash Pro was it’s continual high-quality light
output which produced some amazing shadows,
and gave all the models perfect, pure skin tones”.
