Matthew Kiss
We were looking to set up an Airbnb account for our Lake District cottage and to show it off properly we needed to invest in some professional photographs.
We used bidvine not knowing exactly what we were going to get. Would the photos be what we wanted and would they do justice to the place we love? Our concerns were very quickly abated. Everything James did was very professional. Arrived on time as agreed, took us through what he was going to do, taking his time and making sure we were happy with the portfolio he was putting together. A week later, again exactly when he said, the pictures were ready. We are delighted with the final photos and are so pleased we chose James. The icing on the cake was that he let us use some of his lovely Lake District scenic shots. I would like to think I could get close to his quality but I would only be kidding myself!!
Would we recommend James - 100% yes.

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
The secret to taking a great photograph is experience. 19 years of it definitely helps! The other secret is understanding what your client requires and being able to effectively communicate in order to get the most out of a shoot for them. Good kit definitely helps too!
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
Three simple questions:
What are you looking to achieve?
What is your budget?
Where/how do you plan on using the assets?
What do you love most about your job?
The thing I love most is being able to work collaboratively to create beautiful imagery. No two shoots are the same and I love the creative and logistical challenges that each shoot brings.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I was made redundant from a job in 2017. I had been practising photography since 2006, had completed college courses and a degree in the subject and starting my own business had always been in the back of my mind. I decided that it was something I had to do or I would spend the rest of my life regretting not have given it a go. I have never looked back.
Why should our clients choose you?
If you value quality, versatility and experience, I am the one for you. I am not the cheapest, but my level of experience means that my clients are not disappointed.
