BRIEF BIOGRAPHY

James on Steps Edit 1 BW Cropped.jpg

I was born in Birkenhead, but after studying for my art degree in Stoke I relocated to London where I worked for twenty years as a professional photographer and film director. 

 

I did photo shoots for magazines, record sleeves and publicity for bands and solo artists.  I also directed over fifty music videos, title sequences and commercials.  My clients included all the major UK based record labels as well as commissions for Channel 4, Broadcast and The Face Magazine. 

 

Since 2003, as well as pursuing my own photography and writing projects, I have taught photography/art and design in secondary schools and at higher education level. 

I returned to the Wirral, Merseyside in 2009. 

 

Over the last few years, as well as taking commissions for portraits, I have had three successful exhibitions ‘People of the Williamson’, ‘People of Oxton’ and ‘Living in the Moment’.
