I started my career in the theatres of Glasgow as a make up assistant, working my way through the ranks to become a make up designer for film, fashion and print. Travelling across the UK and Europe with a range of clients in both the media and offering private consults, I have been able to create a sense of style to my make up designs that is uniquely my own.
With have credits ranging through magazines, films, websites, wedding parties, fashion shows and commercial work. I strive to create the best possible work and continue to be as dynamic creatively as I can be.
Inspired by old Hollywood’s glamour and decadence, as well as the people I meet everyday, I am always exploring new avenues and working with people to create inspiring work from the beautiful to the bizarre.
With a career spanning ten years and counting I take pleasure in my work and see each new day as an opportunity to do something creative and unique.

I recently helped on a shoot with James and not only is he a talented, professional make-up artist but he also had lots of great advice for me and my wife who are just starting out in photography. James is a great laugh and I look forward to working with him again in the future
A wonderfully talented MUA and Stylist, James is very professional and produces top class work, plus he cracks me up with all his funny stories! I would work with him anytime and hope to do so many times in the future!

I've worked with James on a couple of shoots now, and hope to do so many times in the future. He is wonderfully professional, lacking any primadonna tendencies, and a good laugh to boot. He has a great balance of technical skills and professional attitude (never late, always responding to communications), blended with enthusiasm and a "can-do" attitude. In every shoot he pitches in, helping out above and beyond the call of duty. I would seriously recommend him to anyone wanting a talented, professional MUA and stylist for their shoot.
