The person behind the viewfinder.

I’m Jim. I make photographs of the moments when people and places stop performing — the breath before the chorus, the face between expressions, the building at the hour it was designed for.

My education was the photo pit: three songs, no flash, two hundred other elbows. It teaches you to read light before it happens and to commit to a frame without a safety net. Those instincts now run through everything I shoot, from magazine portraits to half-million-dollar staircases.

Behind the photography is 35 years of experience in printing and graphic arts — a background that shapes the grain, tone and print quality of every frame.

How I work

Available dark

I work with the light that exists and add as little as possible.

Unhurried

Portrait sittings run long on purpose; the frame you want is rarely in the first hundred.

Print-minded

Every commission is edited as if it will be printed a meter wide.
