Welcome to James Finley Photography. I provide a comprehensive range of stills and video photographic services to water sports enthusiasts from complete beginners to seasoned professionals.

I work from the shore with an ultra telephoto zoom lens or in the water with a water housing to create some stunning images of your experience in the ocean.

I provide services for individuals and groups to capture the thrill of your first wave. If you are an intermediate or advanced surfer looking for a professional image, my years of experience as a surf coach and surfer means I capture images that will show your best manoeuvres - I know the best spots for any given swell chart and understand what looks good!

For Professionals looking to build your personal content, I work with some of the UK’s top pro’s creating mixed media promotional content for sponsors and publicity use.

I have been commissioned by competition organisers such as Surfing England to provide official stills and video content for their social media and am proud to have supported Bude Surf Veterans alongside Mission Surf Bude and Help for Heroes by documenting surf camps for veterans in Cornwall.
