About James

I’m a middle-aged white man.

I’m originally from the UK (a Londoner and PROUD of it), but seem to be slowly working my way around the world.

I presently live and work in a suburb of Beijing (that’s in China for those of you who are wondering).

I like taking pictures with my camera ( I have a few -  I might write about some of them).

Generally I work in colour.

Influences: HCB (isn’t everyone), Sam Abell, Bill Owens and Jeanloup Sieff.

Things I Like:

Kodachrome colours – but not to scan

My Rollieflex – just try and take it off me!

Linen

Rain

Contact prints

A good book on tape (CD/Audible format – but I’m not writing “audiobook” – it doesn’t feel right)

late night radio

Snow – or at least the silence it makes

A cooked breakfast

Things I Don’t Like:

Being told what I should like

R&B (sorry)

Denim mini-skirts

Oversized sunglasses

Kedgeree

Asian queuing

Beige socks
