About Me

To me, photography isn't about the ideal, or the most sculpted, or the most "Picture Perfect" moment but rather, about revealing the personality of the subject. Whether a human, a pair of pants, or a cat, every subject has a story to tell and my goal as a photographer is to capture the story and have the viewer see a complete moment, not just a pretty picture.

My life in photography started with my father and his old 35mm Olympus. While backpacking, he taught me the fundamentals of shutter and aperture on the wonderful wilderness and wildlife around us. After that, I became fascinated with capturing moments: individuals making art, music, or theater, or capturing people simply enjoying each other's company. I'm simply searching out the subtle beauty.

"I had the pleasure of working as a model for James for a last minute shoot out in the Philly area. He was very informative, making sure I knew every detail leading up to the shoot as well as after. It is also worth mentioning that he has a great attitude which made him super easy to work with. Let's just say there are far more photos of me laughing and having a great time rather than not! He definitely helped to draw it out! I 100% recommend as I can say he truly gives it his all!" Read less

"James is a skilled photographer in so many ways. He's relaxed yet high energy and always positive, making sure you feel your best and totally comfortable in front of the camera. He fosters trust between himself and his collaborators, which is invaluable and makes all the difference in the results of the shoot. He clearly knows what he's doing but continues to gain skills throughout his shoots, experimenting with new ideas and always working to exceed expectations and achieve his vision, while leaving room to be surprised by new opportunities in the moment. He's a versatile artist, able to skillfully work in all sorts of setups and situations, both in-studio and outdoors. He's collaborative and always open to ideas from those he works with. And maybe most importantly, he takes and creates stunning photos!" Read less
