More about James P....
What do you love about your job?
I tell people all the time, that I get to play with toys. Cameras are my toys and they bring huge joy to me. Any time I can see something in my head and create it for other's to see, that's when I know I'm doing what I should do.
Photography offers such a wide array of creativity, I just had to be a part of it. To me, it's never perfect. There's always techniques and new ideas to explore and that's why I still to this day, feel giddy over photography.
What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?
For video I've done some fun sports promos. My approach with these shoots are to ensure that those participating will look good and that they'll be motivated once they see the final product. I like to make my video projects as easy on the subject/client as I possibly can. I want them to remember how easy and effective their experience was when working with me.
For photo I recently did a Star Wars cosplay shoot and it was so fun for me and them. I rented a studio and didn't really restrain them from doing what they do. They're the experts on the look of the character and I'm simply there to capture and edit. They ended up loving the final product and thoroughly enjoyed their experience with me.
Awards, honors, and recognitions received
The only award I'm proud of is the one I see when a client is ecstatic about their content.
