Elegant, well groomed, attractive.. wait! Am I describing James or his shots? Both, I'd say! James strives for excellence in his photography. His love for the subjects he shoots is very clear to see. His photos are fraught with emotion. He doesn't post multiple images a day. No, his are photos that take time to craft and are worth waiting for. James takes photos that may you feel. Bravo, carry on!

A Grandmaster at monochromatic work.
The beauty James creates is like a fine wine, that is decanted at long intervals to make us appreciate it more. I do. Thank you, James.
You Have the Soul of an Artist !
It is always a true pleasure to witness James' latest floral images. One is tempted to draw comparisons to Mapplethorpe - but Jame's tone and vision is so much his own that one never needs to go there. And, yes, those tones are always exquisite.

It is always a true pleasure to witness James' latest floral images. One is tempted to draw comparisons to Mapplethorpe - but Jame's tone and vision is so much his own that one never needs to go there. And, yes, those tones are always exquisite. Moreover, in the folds, tucks, curves and lines of his floral images, one also witnesses a delicacy that is both sensual and dramatic, a beauty that is as mesmerizing as it is intoxicating.

I've followed your work since you first joined and I have never experienced such feelings and emotions generated by images before. You and your work absolutely fascinate me and when I feel stressed, anxious or upset, looking at your images creates such lovely feelings that I find difficult to explain in words, but it's like they take me to another level, away from the harsh reality of life, into the alpha state. Thank you for sharing with me

A great master !
Elegance is the first thing that comes to mind when viewing James' magnificent flower portraits. Clean compositions and striking contrasts emphasize the natural floral forms and leave a lasting impression in the mind of the beholder. Well done, James and keep them coming!
You are a master! Damn, even your NAME sounds like a master photographer.
James has an unique style, easy to recognize, no matter the subject: simple yet elegant compositions, minimalist but heavy with emotions - and so beautiful. I'm always looking forward to James' next upload - I know it will be excellent.
"To me the meanest flower that blows can give Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears" It is not overdoing the case to apply Wordsworth's lines to James images. His pictures do show us the clear difference between the pretty and the beautiful. Their technical excellence is really the unobtrusive base o… Read more
"To me the meanest flower that blows can give Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears" It is not overdoing the case to apply Wordsworth's lines to James images. His pictures do show us the clear difference between the pretty and the beautiful. Their technical excellence is really the unobtrusive base on which a profoundly, rich, elegant, often metaphorical subject matter is expressed. Congratulations James, you have achieved something which is rare and valued!

James’s photo stream is one of my favourite on Flickr in the main because of its overall consistent quality and the high degree of technical aptitude and skill that it demonstrates. I actually like the fact that he obviously takes time (lots I would imagine) over what he does meaning that with James you get quality rather than quantity which is no bad thing On a more simplistic level, forgetting the technical side of things, his photos are simply beautiful images to look at. I find in particular his floral images are brilliant and as I said in one of my comments no one, in my opinion, does them better. I say this as someone who normally does not have an affinity with floral subjects but I am happy to make an exception in James’s case I think if I had to summarise his work in two words I would say ‘elegant beauty’ Thank you for posting and sharing your images
Read lessYou trascended the usual flower photo into the realm of a rich, colorful abstraction capable of compelling awe, respect and admiration for the beauty of nature. I am confident that in essence that is the quest and intention of your photography.
When I see your photos, I see not only the subject - I feel the mood and that fragile message that image can provide... special feeling supported by the colors... This is the talent, but not only technic that is very interesting. Your works are elegantly sensitive and emotional at the same time. So, I wanted to say … Read more

James is a master of light and shadow. I've only recent discovered him and his beautiful work and I really can't wait to see what he's going to do with all his talent. Keep it up James!
There is no word to describe how much i love your works!
You have become a real flower man! And you do it brilliantly!
In the realm of artistic photography, there are a few individuals whose work stands out above the rest. James is one of those photographers with an exceptional attention to tonal range and fine details. His stream is both pleasing to the eye and worthy of study.
When I first saw James pictures, I was instantly impressed by the harmony and elegance that distinguishes his impressive work. Sometimes photography is art, like it was for Mapplethorpe work - whose soul I see in James flowers - and this is the case. Tones and shapes are melting in an artful breath. Inspiring
Love the way I fall into your beautiful images, a unique touch not offer by many…excellent composition – lighting -- distinct techniques...bravo
