About

Hi I'm James Up until earlier this year I was working as a studio manager for Alva Studios. I finally decided to venture into photo and production assisting again after gathering a wealth of knowledge over the past few years, having dealt with all manner of clients, always committed to getting the job done, eager to learn new things and staying upbeat. If you're curious about my technical knowledge you can have a gander below; Lighting - Profoto, Broncolor, Elinchrom, HMI's, Briese, Kinoflo. Camera Systems - Canon (EOS & R), Fujifilm (X & GFX), Phase One, Hasselblad (H & X) Computers & Software - Mac OS, Capture One, Phocus, Photoshop CC, Lightroom CC, Indesign CC, Silverfast 8, Flexcolor. I'm familiar with a large variety of film camera systems from 35mm, 120 & 5x4 Field cameras, but have most frequently worked with Nikon F range, RZ67, Pentax 67 cameras. I'm darkroom trained in both B&W and Colour printing and development, while also tinkering with alternative processes such as wet plate collodion (I'm an absolute nerd for anything technically challenging :-) ) while also providing a film scanning service.
