Kate Garraway

In honour of the great comedian Phil Lucas who I had the pleasure of meeting and taking pictures of yesterday, here is the fragrant Kate Garraway who was one of my first celebrity shoots back in 2007. She is and was lovely of course, oh and Phil only has a mild obsession with her. Pictures of Phil to appear here soon.

 

Here are Phil and Kate in conversation. Very funny.

I was pleased with this shot on the iPhone, the result of a campsite hangover and the need for an early morning stroll at this weekend's Forgotten Fields Festival which was conveniently close to home in East Sussex.

High Praise Indeed

A great little recommendation from Jonathan Jewell, creative director at The Drummer Agency who I have worked with on a number of projects including those focussing on child poverty in developing countries for Compassion International.

"James has been our photographer of choice over the last several years often accompanying our video teams in some challenging locations around the globe. Working, as we do, for many charity clients, James has the ability to help us tell stories through powerful portraits and reportage shots and his photography has been the backbone of some very successful campaigns over the past 4 years. His knowledge, attitude and experience are a perfect match for our approach and our clients. As creative director I seek out professionals who can exceed my expectations and can take an idea and execute it better than I imagined - James does just that and his work is testimony to that".

The pic below was something he art directed and I shot at a Compassion project in Kampala, Uganda.
