Ten, 2015

“In 2015 ten rising star models in the fashion industry became 'Angels' to a storm of media attention. I gathered all ten angels at Pier 59 Studios and photographed them individually and as a collective, which became one of my most iconic photographs”

• About Angels

  At the heart of James’ Angels series are collaborations with many of the most iconic models of our time. The underlying premise is the impact and beauty of the figurative form in all its expressions, a shared part of the human experience. James says,

  “I often refer to this as my Trust series. It’s such a privilege that so many amazing people have entrusted me to capture such personal and intimate portraits. It’s partnership at its best.”

  Those featured include:

  Gisele Bündchen, Kendall Jenner, Cindy Crawford, Elaine Irwin, Gigi Hadid, Candice Swanepoel, Bella Hadid, Lily Aldridge, Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Karlie Kloss, Erin Heatherton, Miranda Kerr, Stella Maxwell, Sara Sampaio, Jasmine Tookes, and many more.

  There are two published books dedicated to this series: Angels (2014) and Angels Limited Edition (2018).
