“James is one of the best talents I’ve worked with!
I have continued to shoot with James for two reasons. He’s extremely driven and takes on my projects as if they are his. Secondly, his ability to maintain transparency and communicate from start to finish is something I’ve never came across. Throughout the entire process he never leaves you guessing about where he is regardless of if that’s on the commute to the shoot, talking about post editing, or even where his head is at in making your vision come to life.
I cannot say enough good things about James and the work he’s done. He has attributed to much of the success that I have had in growing my brand. Not only will I continue to work with him in the future on important projects, but he is also someone who has become a valued friend.”

“James was wonderful to shoot with!
As a seasoned model, I know when a photographer is professional. James was well prepared before, during, and after our shoot. He worked with me to achieve a shared vision, created a mood board, came to the shoot with assistants and all of the camera equipment needed, and was great giving direction while also letting me incorporate my unique style and ideas. The raw images on his camera were amazing, and I can’t wait to see the final results -I would definitely recommend shooting with James!”

“What can I say about James that you can’t already see in his great work?
He makes it easy to be confident in front of the lens, matches your energy and respects your vision. We’ve had 3 different photoshoots in very difficult, limited locations and he just nailed them all. James will capture more than just your best angles.”

“I worked with James on a fitness shoot, and he is terrific!
He made the entire photoshoot a comfortable and enjoyable experience. James is super professional and fun. He has advanced understanding of light and shadows compared to a lot of photographers I have worked with, and he helped direct me how to turn my face or body towards his studio lights to capture a more impactful shot. All in all, I rate him 5 stars and highly recommend his work to all of my friends!”

“James is an amazing artist and photographer.
We did an Urban Street Shoot. From the moment I found him at Revival Coffee Shop, his energy immediately got me ready. He had his professional equipment by his side and a radiant smile on his face.
We immediately started talking and brainstorming as to what our visions were separately, and we worked together throughout the rest of that day to collectively make some beautiful photos in an incredible city with the best energy and fun exploration. This was a day I will truly appreciate forever. I am not a model, but he sure made me feel like one. He is so kind and easy to talk to.
When I got lost and did not know what to do for the next photo, he would show me examples of poses I could do (which were extremely helpful). James makes you feel seen. He listens to your goals and goes above and beyond to surpass that vision.
Thanks for an amazing experience, James. Wish you all the luck and success in the world!!”

“It was great working with James Slade for our first boudoir photoshoot.
He was on time and ready to shoot. He made the environment comfortable and relaxing. Research was conducted prior to shooting on his end. It was his first time shooting boudoir and the location was elegant. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. :)”
