Testimonials:
James, a massive thank you for taking the time to attend our charity event. Your photographs really captured the moment. As well as enabling the participants to gain a memento from the event we now have images for promotional materials. We really appreciated you giving up your Easter Saturday for us
Jen Horsburgh, Fundraising Co-ordinator from CancerCare
To find a photographer who is passionate about the adventure sports and yet have the skill to put on to a photo the energy, passion and drive of the competitors is something held only by only a few. It’s a real privilege to have James’ camera out our events capturing the atmosphere of the day. The resource he has given us to develop images for the web site, promotional material, banners, as well providing a record of the day for the competitors. The photos say more than this paragraph.
James Thurlow, Event Director at Open Adventure
James, just a simple thank you for the stunning photos you took at last weekend’s Ullswater trail races. You seem to have caught everyone in at least a reasonable “pose”! Also, it’s good to see some of the scenery and miscellaneous images that you captured. Life is a series of experiences to enjoy, but it’s also enjoyable to be able to have memories to keep. Thank you again, your work is much appreciated.
