Your story.
A shared vision.

I’m James, a freelance DOP & Director working across commercials, branded content, documentaries and television.

From shaping the story to lighting the frame, I bring a collaborative approach to every production — with production-ready kit and bases across the UK.

In good company

A few words from the people behind the productions.

James was a great asset to have on board, helping in pre-prod and working collaboratively with our Director to ensure a smooth shoot.
