I have been an admirer of James Gifford-Mead's photography for a number of years. He has a truly remarkable eye, as his body of work is testament to. I have had the privilege of seeing him photograph on a number of occasions, and his method can be described as patient, studied and unobtrusive, in addition to his professional and dedicated approach. He has a particular talent for portraiture, both in capturing the essence of his subjects, but also in his timing of those fleeting moments of heightened emotion that elevate his work above the mainstream.

James perfectly captured my wedding in July 2017. He is amazing at getting natural candid shots and just understanding the environment and getting the most out us. He was engaging leading up to the wedding and we felt absolutely confident he would take amazing shots of our wedding. He even scoped out various locations for shots prior to the wedding - really went above and beyond. I would highly recommend James for your wedding or any event. His professional and friendly manner made him a welcome addition to our wedding day. More...

Our organization used James Gifford-Mead for a group photo of nearly 150 delegates (outside in London in the hotel courtyard) in October. He managed to get a great group shot for us in less than 15 minutes. With over 100 people in the shot, he managed it very well. We also used him for candid meeting photos and a large evening social event as well. We appreciated his professionalism, attention to detail and his responsiveness to our requests. More...

We asked James to take photos of our production of La Bohème at our Clapham Opera Festival. Singers can be understandably protective of how they are captured when on stage. Every photo that James took were approved by the 7 singers - which has to be a record for the opera world! He clearly has a natural ability to capture the moment and the story behind that moment. On top of that, James is a lovely bloke. More...

I was a little nervous about this corporate headshot, but James put me at my ease. Shots with different backgrounds, an opportunity to discuss and review the photos as we went along. I was very pleased with James' direction and professionalism throughout.

I really liked the pictures and it was difficult to decide which one who represent me on LinkedIn and for corporate headshots generally - but that is a good thing! Highly recommended.

Thanks very much James. More...
