Neale James is a Berkshire-based photographer, broadcaster, and writer whose work weaves together a lifelong love of storytelling, sound, and still imagery. Known for his emotionally honest approach to social documentary photography, for twenty years, he has photographed everything from milestone moments and everyday rituals to, more recently, faraway corners of the world.

With a career that began in BBC Radio, Neale has travelled widely, using both mic and camera to connect with people and place.

For radio, he produced documentaries about the French Revolution, the talk radio evolution of America and travelled on tour with bands like Aerosmith.

In 2020, during the pandemic, Neale launched The Photowalk podcast, and in his growing collection of stories and essays across nearly 500 episodes, he explores not just how we photograph and create, but why.

He co-founded The Journey Beyond to bring together his passions for photography, radio, and meaningful travel. With a background in broadcasting and a love of storytelling, he creates experiences that blend sound, image, and place, inviting guests to walk with curiosity, listen more closely, and see the world through a more thoughtful, human lens.
