CJ - The photographer
The people behind the lens
CJ James – female proprietor, principal photographer and all-round perfectionist (at least with the camera!). On a personal level, I'm friendly, fun and full of energy... and on a professional level, I'm exactly the same. Taking great care of my clients either on location or at my London photography studio, I ensure that my creative, infectiously personable approach to portrait and wedding photography across west London and Berkshire, and even further afield (across the UK and even worldwide) produces exceptional results time and again.
Dina Karklina – Swinky's second-in-command often attends large, high-profile shoots, ensuring no moment is left unseen. Dina is a creative photographer whose experience shooting on location is of particular value to the team.
"Photography is about capturing the moments that define us. Love, happiness, energy, fun - they're all part of life, so enjoy them all! My creative approach to photography always gets great results - whether it’s a wedding or a portrait shoot, I'll give you a photography shoot to remember."
A unique London photography service
As a graduate of Film and Photography, my instinct to view life on a frame-by-frame basis has afforded me the opportunity to develop two discrete styles of photography. The candid, reportage style of photography that captures fleeting moments as they occur naturally is one for which I am renowned, but I also adopt a more staged, dramatic style for weddings, destination shoots, and my creative portrait work.
