Hey, I’m James.

I photograph places, people, and details that don’t usually get a second look. My background is in fine art, but my process is pretty straightforward; curiosity leads, and the camera follows.

You’ll usually find me up early, wandering cities before they wake up, or getting lost somewhere well off the main road. My work tends to focus on honest moments with a strong emphasis on storytelling.

Outside of photography, I’m into good coffee, old vinyl, and the kind of travel where you don’t need an itinerary.

The iron gates of a church in Havana open directly onto the street, where life moves at its usual pace. Just inside, two women sit quietly on the steps, their backs to the camera. Beyond them, a flower vendor carefully arranges sunflowers and other b

On my way back into Nashville, I spotted this little country store tucked off the road. The weathered wood and hand-painted signs caught my eye—nothing flashy, just a place that seemed like it had been there forever. I pulled over without much
Just dropped a new photo essay on my website from a two week trip through Morocco. We met some incredible people and had one hell of an experience. Check it out and let me know what you think - there’s a link in my bio.
