About Me

Naughty James (or Craig Cowling as his Mum calls him) has his finger on photography’s pulse. His highly stylized editorial work has appeared in i-D Magazine and he has collaborated with VICE in the UK, Belgium and Germany as well as many other publications such as WAD (France), PIG (Italy), NEON (Germany), Bigshot, BPM (both USA). He has also exhibited in galleries from the Bread and Butter fashion trade fair in Berlin to the Mcloud Gallery in Seattle, USA. He followed new rave goons, The Klaxons on their first tour keeping a record, mostly in black-and-white photographs, to capture the raw energy of their gigs and all the usual back stage antics. With large corporate clients such as Coca Cola and Sony already to his name all at the tender age of twenty five he is one of London’s most highly sought after, most up-and-coming stars of the fashion photography scene.

Meanwhile, on the net, he chronicles his personal and professional life with photographs and writing through his online visual diary called the 1095 project at naughtyjames.com. It is at once lustful, frantic and provocative yet incredibly bold. The 1095 project was originally started to document his three years (1095 days) at the London College of Fashion where he did (or at least started) his photography degree. “Obviously it didn’t really work out like that” he tells me, since he dropped out not long into his second year upon being offered a job at VICE magazine, and it became a more personal thing that he has kept going way after its official date was up as a means of “preserving moments forever.” He has now been invited back to LCF but this time as a visiting lecturer.
