The rising snapper was inspired to become a
professional photographer after living in New
Zealand and Australia for more than six years
and noticing he always had a camera in his
hand. James was working as a chef before his
adventures on the other side of the world, and
when he returned to Scotland in 2010, enrolled
on the College’s photography course at the
Kilwinning campus and has never looked back.
