About James Aitken | James A Photography

Hi! I’m James and I’m a professional photographer in Devon in the South West of England. I was born and raised in Hertfordshire, not far from London, but I now live in East Devon, on the beautiful Jurassic Coast.

Over 10 years ago, my passion for photography led me to change careers. Like anyone else, I have always enjoyed taking pictures on my travels, but it was an interest in wedding photography that made me push my passion to the next level, which in turn led to an increased interest in portrait photography, corporate headshots and event photography.

I am now a professional photographer, specialising in corporate headshots, portrait photography, commercial and property photography throughout the UK and abroad.

So, whether you need professional corporate headshots or high-quality images of an event, your property or business, get in touch now for a free, no-obligation quote.
