This guy is awesome. Does amazing work. Quick to edit and send final cuts. Very professional and personable. Showed up to my gig on time and stayed after to shoot extra photos for me and of all of my friends. If you’re even considering booking him just skip the steps and do it. You won’t be disappointed!
— BO
Very professional, and easy to work with. I recommend Spawnzone Photography to everyone i know who needs a photographer for an event or promo photos.
— JE
Man where do I start.
I’ve had the pleasure/honor to work with this really talented artist named Spawnzone. I met him at Avalon one day and from there our relationship has not been dull since. His work is phenomenal. We did a photoshoot and he produced a mass quantity photos from it and all were high quality. He also shoots for Avalon Hollywood where his pictures of the venue are amazing. I give this guy 10 stars out of 5. Highly recommend him if your in need of a photoshoot, press shots, or what ever it may be. He will not disappoint and you will be satisfied with his work. Take my word.
Thanks for all your work Spawnzone!
— BM

So much to say about this guy. Firstly, his product is always on point. There has never been a day where he does not dissapoint. Definitely knows what he’s doing and I guarantee you 100% that you’ll definitely love his work. Secondly, such an extremely humble and respectful person. Do I recommend him to a friend? Definitely ! I promise you, take it from me and multiple artists that he’s worked with, you’ll be happy with his work !
— MB
James has always been a pleasure to work with, very professional, but at the same time treats you like a friend, which is important to some, not to others. All that aside... He does absolutely stunning work and takes his time making sure everything is to near perfection. Definitely would recommend, this guy won’t be readily available for long, so act now!
