Also the link to the 'shop' section now goes to our Etsy shop, which has had more items added to it

Etsy Shop Now Open

We've set up shop over at Etsy to sell a few prints and the odd canvas if you fancy a browse, it will be being added to in the next few days

Kinver Country Fayre

It's that time of the year again, when Kinver's shops spill out on to the street for one day.

Many stalls, shops and games are sure to be there and entertainment in the form of a Samba band, walking parade and much much more.

So what can you get from Daniel James Photography?, we'll be stocked up with frames and prints of Kinver, photo keyrings, torches and mats and even adding a few new bits of stock for the day!

You can have your photograph taken in a sports (the theme of the fayre this year) related cutout which can then be bought as a print, keyring or even on a mousemat!

All this and more, 10am-6pm, 10th May, Kinver!

Welcome & Update

After many redesigns this is the latest version which loads quickly and has a lot more features including many new categories and a much bigger selection of photographs to view.

We're working on the price list and services pages still and the shop is being recreated but for now, please access the shop here

Hope you like it and please feel free to leave your comments for us, we always appreciate feedback

Morris & Sheera - Editing in progress

Bess - Editing in progress

Snoop - Editing in progress


A slow process due to the volume of editing involved in what is essentially 10 photo shoots. Additionally the lack of electricity for the first 2 and a half hours of the day made me wary of using anything except the flash gun (ideally the studio lights would have given a much more even lighting) and so means a lot of editing work required for some.

New Sites

Daniel James - www.danieljames.net - shows my C.V and acts as a platform to reach the design and photography site

[update] Erin [golden retriever] completed, CD going out soon

Rome Wasn't Built In A Day...

and neither will the new version of the website.

Yes, i've been working on a more efficent version of the website for a month or so now, still tieing up loose ends and trying to trim it down so it's quikcer loading etc but essentially the biggest add-ons are more sections of photographs, a new version of the shop and some other general layout changes.

Any suggestions for additional navigation/design aspects are welcome

Pet Portrait Day - 29th March 2008

A great turn out, this day was planned to allow owners to bring their prized pets to have their photographs taken. We had a total canine dominance with 14 dogs having the star treatment, we are planning another for later in the year (possibly close to Christmas with a red backdrop etc for gift ideas) and maybe even a Small Pet Portrait Day for animals such as hamsters, rabbits, gerbils etc (thoughts on this are greatly appreciated)

Photographs of the models will be posted up once release forms are recieved

Thank you to all those who attended
