To put these first few photos into context, I also recorded James doing an exclusive performance of 'Skinny Love' at DAIS Boutique in Huddersfield! Once the video is finished I'll be uploading it.

And one of James and myself to finish off.

James Michael - X Factor 2011 - Part One

At the end of January I was lucky enough to get to photograph musician James Michael, who made it to the live show stage of the X Factor 2011. Since leaving the X Factor he has modelled for http://www.mrporter.co.uk, is continuing to gig and is also currently searching for a record deal.
We began shooting around 11.30am and finished around 8pm. That sounds pretty intense but that includes travelling around multiple different locations and during that time we also went for food at Revolution, Huddersfield. It was a pleasure to work with James and I wish him every success!

Check him out on the X Factor:





I also want to thank Gaynor Hart for helping to make this happen, as well as Kano of DAIS Boutique (http://www.daisboutique.co.uk) for once again letting me use the clothes from his store for parts of this shoot!



The first two were just test shots as we were waiting.


































Part two to follow!
