James Nader Creative Fashion, Editorial Photographer & Digital Illustrator

About Me

Even a brief glimpse at the stunning results of James Nader's fashion photography suggests a unique 21st century fashion photographer with an exceptional pedigree.

Technically brilliant, James' composes and captures imagery through creative instincts honed on a global stage over two decades. From New York to Morocco. From Italy to the UK. Whether editorial or sharply commercial, the transformation of real life to final image through the James Nader lens is an art in itself.

The unashamed beauty of the images on the Fashion pages contrasts with the fantastical creations unveiled in our Photomontage galleries. Select Published to see how James adapts to editorial presentation, then check out the cheek and directness of his PR work.


My Interests

Landscape Photography, Photomontage, travel, meeting interesting people,

I'd like to meet:

I am currently working on a celebrity photomontage project. I would like to get a variety of celebrities to come to my studio for a custom shoot, from this I will create a photomontage specific to their interests or career. The session includes styling and make-up and the final product will be donated to the subject. The process is entirely free as the collection will eventually be auctioned off for charity. I already have a range of people on board and the shoots that take place are updated regularly in my blog. If you are interested in taking part please get in touch.Additionally I would like to meet like minded people interested in the fashion industry, stylists make-up artists, there is opportunity to work on the shoots mentioned above as each shoot is individual to the celebrity and therefore different skills are required. Networking is key to achieving the right contacts and therefore I would like to make contact with high profile business leaders, entrepreneurs ane people with a leading profile.

Music:

A cross section, whatever the moment needs

Movies:

Classics, Film Noir,

Books:
