James Cant began his career 25 years ago in Melbourne, Australia as an architectural photographer. He moved to London in 1991 and spent the next 15 years working throughout Europe and America.

His award-winning pictures have appeared in numerous magazines including Marie Claire, Glamour, Harper's Bazaar, World of Interiors, Men's Style, GQ, Australian Women's Weekly, The Sydney Magazine, Wish Magazine, Easy Living, Red, Eve, Loaded Fashion, Later, ID, Arena and Vogue, amongst others.
