Feature
Nader has a gift; a very fashionable one at that. A fashion photographer who has been James noticed for his creative images, they really are a true sign of his design and personality. They suggest that he is completely unique, and somehow manages to capture everything at an extremely exceptional degree.
James has photographed all around the world, from New York to London, to Milan and Paris. He truly is a work of art, and whether it’s editorial or commercial, the transformation of a real life subject to a final image really is breathtakingly beautiful. His love for photography was something that he somehow found by chance. While he was trying out a different variety of creative processes at University, the digital revolution turned out to be true liberation for him. His images are always very clean and crisp, and he is a huge fan of keeping things at a simple pace. Not one for over complicating a portrait with too much light, James’ images are a true inspiration to what a classical photograph should look like. He takes his inspiration from films, master painters and LaChapelle. “I like minimal lighting and I am kind of arty in a way but I’m not too far out. I do like high fashion but I don’t go too over the top. I keep it simple and I don’t over complicate the lighting.” He loves working and interacting with models, and finds it really easy when they have experience behind them. Working with them to create different looks, shapes and great photographs only fuelled his passion to pursue his career in fashion photography. Another one of his beliefs is to work with the model in the most positive way. He tries to make them feel as much at ease as possible, and in his own words; “you are, in effect, the director of your own film.” Being a true, recognised fashion photographer takes a long time, and an extreme amount of hard work, but James has succeeded in ways he may never of thought possible. Ambitious, determined and hard working, James Nader is a force to be reckoned with, and a name to remember.
