About
My Background
My name is Robert James. Photography has been in my family for several generations. My Grandfather was a photographer and at the onset of WWII joined the Army Air Corps to fly as a fighter pilot. After learning of his photography abilities, aerial reconnaissance was added to his list of duties. He passed that love onto my Mother, who, despite our financial limitations always found a way to afford a disposable camera to keep the family story alive. That is what I have done for my family. That is what I hope to do for you. My Kentucky upbringing taught me hard work and Faith and the Marine Corps honed my discipline. With these values I will do everything in my power to deliver "The Shot" you've been looking for.
Photography as Communication
I am surrounded both by natural beauty and interesting people. I use my camera to document the world and then print images with a focus on the magic I find in daily life. My pictures tell my stories.
Sharing Stories
At the end of the day, we tend to look back and assess the day. Good, bad, ugly? Happy to be alive? And when you retell the story do you wish you had a picture to show? Helping you tell your story to those you love. We all want to know where we come from.
