I am in awe of Simon. He is a master at what he does.I had an opportunity recently to do a portrait shoot with Simon. I wasn't sure what to expect, and was blown away by the experience. Not only... does he take incredible photographs, he listens with an intent to understand who he is shooting. He managed to capture my very complicated and yet liberating story in a single photograph. A photograph which is raw and vulnerable and yet which I am proud to share with my nearest and dearest.Highly recommend.read more

Highly recommended, we had a team photo shoot with Simon which produced some great photos for the website. The touch ups were fast and we got what was promised and more... Thank you Simon
I find corporate headshots awkward and Simon made it really easy to relax and be myself. Very happy with the outcome!
I'm not a fan of having my photo taken - the opposite in fact. Simon was great to work with, did a great job, was a super and prompt communicator. See you when I need to update again sometime in 2030... Simon!read more
My project of 7 years needed a cherry on top: the final image that would embody the essence of my preaching - embracing the absurdity of life. I thought long and hard on what this picture could be,... aware of the logistical challenges it entailed. At first, I doubted its possibility. However, I knew in my heart that if anyone could make it happen, it had to be Simon. If he couldn't, no one could.I thoroughly enjoyed the creative process of bringing this image to life, hurling myself over the bike while onlookers shook their heads in amusement. Simon remained unfazed throughout, enthusiastically shouting, "I need more feet! More feet!". It was a cloudy day too, so we had 5-10 minute patches of sun we had to get the shot in. “Now’s your chance, jump!” Simon would shriek.This image is very important to me. It encapsulates my beliefs, capturing the very essence of embracing life's quirks and eccentricities. Simon's ability to grasp my idea precisely as I had imagined it, transforming it into reality, is nothing short of magic.I am immensely grateful for the unforgettable experience and exceptional outcome Simon delivered. If you’re looking for a photographer to turn your dream of a shot into reality, Simon is the one.read more
I don't love having my photograph taken and it shows. Simon is a master in making you feel comfortable and part of the process. A really positive experience and I would recommend it to the selfie... phobic. Thanks, Simon.read more

Choosing a photographer for your celebration is one of the most important decisions you will make.Yesterday I had SO much fun working with Simon at a wedding in Sorrento on the beach.Simon is very... big on details, which way to stand so the wind blows your hair out of your face, ensuring all of the guests can see the ceremony, adjusting the bride's necklace, fixing the groom's flower and so much more.Simon is a true professional and I would highly recommend him every time.read more

I'm picky, I'm not photogenic, my curly hair and frizz is a nightmare to work with - but none of it mattered working with Simon.

It is easy to advise my clients to get original images especially of themselves to go on their websites to really make their website... theirs.Simon made the experience very enjoyable.

A great problem to have.I highly recommend Simon for your website and head shot images. You will be very happy as I am with my new shots.read more
Simon photographed my wedding in February, and did a sensational job. Apart from leveraging his experience shooting 1000+ weddings, with a great planning session beforehand, and fast turnaround... afterwards, there was one very memorable moment.He arrived at the venue, and realised that by the time the ceremony started, being an outdoor venue, the sun and shadows would be wrong. We quickly moved everything about 5 metres, before the guests arrived, so the lighting was perfect.It is this intuition and experience that is priceless, and why I highly recommend Simon James photography, for when you want someone who will take the perfect shot, no matter what.read more
