About Me



I'm James Looker, a freelance indie rock photographer based in London Uk, addicted to new music and getting into trouble. Over the past 4 years I've shot hundreds of bands, many of which can be seen in the NME a weekly music magazine that covers the vast indie scene in the UK, America and occassionally an interesting place in Europe. All photographs © 2004-2007 James Looker.

My Interests


Photography,watching old movies, climbing things i shouldn't when i'm drunk,drinking tea, losing my temper when people are rude, helping absolute strangers, walking off in the middle of pointless conversations, pushing people in rivers, fighting, sleeping ,lagoon diving, taking photos, french kissing girls & kissing french girls, watching people walk into things, sky diving, thinking of friends who are no more, walking a dog in the woods, wishing i was in New Zealand again, British Indie music, smiling at smiling people, sleeping, living on the beaches of the world, racing my brother on motorbikes, going out to find random adventures, discovering unusual friends in bizarre places, anyone who does what they do for love not money

I'd like to meet:


...A stunningly beautiful, petite, athletic woman who's equal parts russian, brazillian, japanese, dutch and icelandic with a french accent and New Zealand nationality. She'll have a dark & filthy english sense of humour, a small attention span and a large trust fund that bankrolls the chaotic lifestyle of a debauched, charming but broke photographer. Must be into indie music, photography, 70's movies, dressing well or not at all. Insomniacs are especially welcome, psycho nut birds, annoying fashionistas or pretentious airheads aren't...
"The real reason I'm here , as you've probably guessed, is to find out about new music and photograph it. If you're in an indie band, dedicated, know my taste, then drop me a message and I'll try and catch one of your gigs. If you need some promotional shots doing we can arrange a photo session, either in a studio or on location."

I'm currently looking to photograph creative individuals, artists, actors, models, writers, directors & designers. I accept most myspace invitations out of politeness, but gently drop the nutters, christians & wasters later on when they're not looking....as you would in the real world.
