Robert x James

How do I get involved?

I am currently working on a creative project that focuses on the sexual identities and lifestyle of modern relationships; and for many, a continued need to hide it. If you want to get involved, please contact me. Contributors for this will be photographed for free and can use images for their own purposes, All final images will have faces hidden unless you’d prefer otherwise.

I otherwise take commissions, with fees dependent on the project.

Do we have to be models?

No. We are all beautiful, special and interesting human beings. Robert’s skill is to capture you, for who you are, as you are – in your best light. The only requirement is that everyone involved must be freely consenting and older than 18. (obviously).

Discretion

Robert X James has been a professional filmmaker for years and works with many of the worlds leading brands, often with confidential information. Integrity and confidentiality is core to his life. He and his wife explore the world sexually with others and enjoy many personal kinks. He knows the discretion you require as he himself expects it.

Every photo shoot is stored in an encrypted, secure location; and segregated from others. It is only shared with yourself unless you give your express permission and you have the right to deletion. Your personal details are never stored alongside your photos.

Photos are edited in a location that can’t be overlooked.

Respect

Although photographing you and your partner(s) in an intimate and vulnerable situation, Robert is deeply aware that he is not personally a part of that intimacy. He will never touch you without permission. He might ask to touch you on your head, arm, knee, ankle or hip to reposition you for the camera lens.

Robert respects all people and all desires without judgement.

If you want Robert to join in then this can be discussed and agreed to if everyone is happy and willing.

Getting to know you

The ambition is to capture your personality within each image and so Robert will initially discuss life, the universe and everything. He’s interested in what you like to wear out, your home, your lifestyle and stresses – why you do what you do and what makes you tick. It might not seem relevant but it paves the way for a deeply personal and representative portrait. And then of course, he will discuss your sexuality, desires and hunger; and is happy to share his own.

What’s it like being photographed?

A photoshoot is not as fluid as the real thing. There will be some stopping and starting. There will usually be flash lights. It might seem counter-intuitive, but sometimes to make the image look natural from the best camera angle – you might need to contort or twist your body in an unnatural way. Throughout, Robert aims to keep it as sensual and enjoyable as possible. Unlike many photographers, Robert strives to capture male sexuality as much as female. This is in part because his wife finds male bodies deeply attractive and it’s a point of contention that many out there prefer to share only the female form.

Can I use the photos?

Of course! You are provided with copies of all final photos for your own use. For photos that show both your face and nudity he will also provide a face-blurred version for discretionary use.

Will you use the photos?

I will never use or display your photos without permission.

It is useful for me to show photos in my portfolio and so I usually ask permission to show photos where the project is vanilla; or face-blurred versions of photos where the project contains nudity or sexual acts – all without identifiable information.
