James is influenced by a mix of raw documentary realism, subversive countercultural narratives, and surreal, unsettling atmospheres. This fusion could result in work that both critiques society's darker aspects and reveals the intimate, sometimes uncomfortable truths of personal identity and environment.

Or something else.

James draws from a broad and eclectic range of influences spanning literature, film, and photography, each offering a unique lens on themes like subculture, identity, and the darker or more intimate aspects of life.

James studied at Central Saint Martins, worked in TV, Fashion, News and is based in London. James collects photography and rare books.
