Hi, my name is James. I shoot lot's of different stuff. My work covers the entire gamut from conservative portraits to erotic nudes.

I have a particular passion for eras past, from old timey to old Hollywood to classic pin-up - and lately, an emerging interest in goth and fantasy...as well as this strange trend towards photo painting...

In all that I do, quality is paramount.

My company website is abysmal. It hasn't been updated in over a year! Not cuz I don't care, but because I just ain't got the time. Time is the one quantity I can't seem to create more of (but if you have any ideas how to please tell me :)

I'm doing very few tf's (a couple here or there), but to view my most recent images, model mayhem is currently the best place.

Myspace is second best, but again, I just haven't had the time to give it a proper update in several months.

As for personal stuff, I'm an avid sailor and draw a great deal of inspiration from things nautical. I have too many influences to list but here are a a few:

Sailor Jerry's work,
Smilin' Jack comics
Pin up painters (not just Vargas and Elvgren)
Old Hollywood Glamour photographers (again, not just Hurrell)
Music: old country, bluegrass, socal punk, alt country, goth (not that emo crap, real GOTH), contemporary *abilly, indie and even some rap.
19th century photography,
The Romantic Poets,
Jazz Age photography
The Old West,
The Arabian Nights,
Nautical lore,
and on and on...
