James Ram Photography

My images tend towards the rustic. I was an editorial and interiors photographer in the past but now focus more on photographing beautiful food.  Alongside food photography, I still shoot lifestyle portraits for various publications and keep my eye in with interiors too. A combination of food, people and interiors photography is my perfect day’s shooting, especially if I can eat the food, laugh with the people and then sleep in the interior after we finish. After eighteen years working for all kinds of clients I’m increasingly interested in producing imagery for businesses whose values I share.

Other Facts about me: I live on the North Cornish coast with my wife and two small children. I am particularly interested in them, surfing, DIY and my dog Jeremy. 

 

Clients I work for and publications in which my images feature include: Waitrose Magazine, Cote, The Eden Project, The Sunday Times Travel, Exeter University, Rick Stein, Silco, SAGA magazine

Outdore
Bookings & Marketing

Outdore is the preferred booking system for Woodland Champions Club members — a commission-free glamping booking platform built for UK glamping sites, campsites, and holiday let operators who want direct control over their listings without paying per-booking fees.

WCC members have used Outdore since 2024, and it is now a mandatory subscription for all members across the club's nearly 180 sites in England, Wales and Scotland. Club members benefit from a special discounted rate that reflects the strength of the partnership between WCC and the Outdore team.

What sets Outdore apart is its combination of reach and simplicity. As a channel manager, it connects your campsite listing UK-wide across popular Online Travel Agencies including Airbnb, Booking.com and Pitch Up — so you can manage your glampsite listings alongside all major platforms from a single dashboard, without juggling separate logins or chasing calendar sync. At the same time, commission-free bookings via your own website remain front and centre, putting more money back where it belongs.

Outdore was the first outdoor booking platform to feature an interactive map, making it easier than ever for guests to discover woodland camping UK sites and choose their perfect pitch. Bookings can come in through the Outdore app, Google Maps, Bing Maps, social media, and directly through your website — giving guests every possible route to your door.

As a GDPR-compliant booking platform for UK camping and glamping, Outdore handles data responsibly and transparently, giving both operators and guests peace of mind.

The support behind Outdore is just as impressive as the software. James, WCC's dedicated Outdore contact, is widely praised by members for going above and beyond — a rare quality in any tech partnership.
