I’m James, egg lover, gas station coffee drinking mint chocolate chip lovin, photographer, videographer, based out of New York City.
This is a little space to explore all creative and professional endeavors through word and lens unabashedly.
Some weeks you’ll find some random thoughts about anything and everything. Other times, I’ll walk you through recent photo- or video shoots—sharing not just the visuals, but the stories, lighting choices, and candid behind‑the‑scenes glimpses. I approach with curiosity and intention.
Latest Photography / Videography, and thoughts from New York City
Music Video
A few video stills from a music video I shot and am currently in the process of editing. We started out in Flushing NY, and by the end of the day we were in Far Rockaway NY. We planed out the logistics and were able to shoot at 4 different locations in 1 day.
Musican / Actor credits: to come….
3 scenes down, we decided on 2 chop cheese and a Philly. We had to explain what a chop cheese was, though we should've reversed, we had hope. 45 mins later they were done. lol
We then ventured on to Rockaway Beach (TBC)
A few things that I have really grown to embrace through the years about how I tackle my videography assignments. I work my cameras handheld. No gimble. Dont get me wrong, I like what they can do, but this is a subjective call. That doesn’t mean I am looking for a crazy shaky frenetic look and feel. Slight shifts, subtle sways is a silent character in how I approach working handheld. This take on camera control allows for the viewer to feel like they are a bit closer, in the space, without causing distraction.

Chimes In
Chimes in, Chimes I don’t know.
A softer balance, a place to go.
Chimes adrift, chimes I want to know.
Softer they set, softer I grow.
Chines in, Chimes I long to know.
Still & low
Maybe some miss me, some don’t see, some do, maybe they just don’t mind me. I’m low, in a puddle, just me, seeing portraits of you, that many others don’t see.
No one seems to mind, maybe they don’t see? It’s too busy of day, and it’s actually good by me. I’m little more comfortable, a little more free.
