James Winspear Photography

James Winspear Photography and & Child photography. Based in Lindfield, Sussex. I have over 20 years experience as a freelance photographer

I have been photographing people, interiors and places since I graduated from the London College of Communication in 1997. Since then I have photographed artists, athletes and entrepreneurs, from Mo Farah to Gary Kemp. My work has been published in Elle, The New York Times, ICON, The Times, Saturday Telegraph Magazine, Vanity Fair, How To Spend It....

When I’m not photographing weddings, family

portraits or magazine shoots, I help wrangle my two lovely children, Lily and William, and the crazy Springer, Max. I live in the peaceful village of Lindfield, West Sussex. I have been specializing in wedding photography for five years now, and it’s always a great privilege to be asked to capture a couple’s special day. I believe that a wedding should be photographed in its entirety, from bridal preparations to evening celebrations. I also understand the importance of being flexible, so I don't put a specific end time on my attendance or limit the number of pictures I take. This flexibility allows me to capture those moments that could otherwise be missed, overlooked or left out due to time constraints. My approach is relaxed and informal and I never take center stage. Being discreet and unobtrusive always works best and enables me to capture natural moments. I work in a documentary style, which means I won't be setting anything up or pre posing pictures. If you think my approach meets your needs, please get in touch; I'd love to hear all about your plans for your big day.

Hiroshi Sugimoto at the Hayward Gallery today in London (last day of the exhibition and I didn’t want to miss it)….

The exhibition was good and I’m glad that I dragged L&W to it, even though Will sat down halfway through and started looking at his bloody phone…?! 😫🤦🏻‍♂️😹🤨

I tired to explain to them about the long exposures and why the photographer took the pictures, the camera he used, film etc…. And with the cinema series why the screen was Brigh white and over exposed…. Now sure if they really understood it all… but I enjoyed the exhibition and the black and white prints were beautifully printed…. Was tempted by the exhibition catalogue, but at £38 that was a bit pricey for me at the moment…..

Prints from a recent family shoot that I did for a lovely young family. It was wonderful to see Katherine and James again as I photographed their wedding 5 years ago at the Royal Pavilion in Brighton. It was also lovely to meet their son as well….

Me and ‘Max’ from several years ago now, in fact I think that this was taken when she had just become part of the family… I don’t see her as much as I’d like to now, but still love this beautiful hound as much as when I first saw her…..

A set of prints that I was asked to make by a very good client of his two children who I’ve been photographing once a year for the past 3 years. My old Epson printer started playing up and so I had to go and buy a new printer, I chose the new A3+ Epson printer and I can say that the results are very good, especially on black and white prints. Printed on to the beautiful Hahnemuhle Photo Rag Pearl that is an archival 100% cotton paper that feels like the old double weight black and white fibre based papers that I used to print on at Art College in a Bournemouth. The new inks are supposed to be archival for up to 200/300 years, not sure who will be around to view them then though...? 🤔😳🖨

Making a set of prints for family photo shoot client. I’ve been asked to photograph his two children for the past couple of years... and have another family photography session with them this Saturday.

Printing today some photographs from last Years session onto Hahnemuhle Photo Rag Pearl using archival inks on my Epson printer. Beautiful black and white prints..... so much better than all the other papers that I’ve used over the years...

William enjoying the sunshine ☀️ in the lovely little park near to my flat. The trees, plants and Wild Garlic and the walks outside in this park have helped me and my two young children to stay sane during lockdown. It’s been lovey to see everything come into bloom during spring and early summer.
