Sisterhood

Shot during a benefit for Photographer Lithium Picnic. The intent of these images is to express the solidarity amongst alternative models in supporting freedom of the arts and artistic photography.

Photographer: James Jackson

Motion Nudes

Beauty and life are always in motion, even those almost imperceptible movements of heart and mind occur constantly. This series documents the nude form, one of our most common subject matters, in motion. It often shows a contrast between what we'd like to see and what we can concentrate on.

Photographer: James Jackson

Blue Ribbon

A short series centered around a common object, a blue ribbon.

Photographer: James Jackson

Red Seduction
Retelling of Little Red Ridding Hood

Fairy tales are about morality and virtue, but in their original forms they were just plain basic good advice. All parents want to protect their little girls from "The Big Bad Wolf"... but the wolf wears many different skins.

Photographer: James Jackson

Figure Study
The body as art

The human body. Infinite in positions. Amazing in construction. Brilliant in exertion. Fluid movements and positions enhanced by light.

Photographer: James Jackson

Toy Shelf
Put away your toys

Photography as both an art form and a communications tool is more important in the age of digital and wireless than at any other time in history. We now increasingly turn to the instant reception of information allowed by the visual representation of thoughts and ideas rather than trying to communicate those same thoughts through words. Language barriers are easily overcome with images, and during this time of globalization, it is becoming a key issue to communicate through image effectively. It is the skill of photographers that allows this communication to happen and the talent of these artists to transmit a clear message.

James Jackson has been communicating his message through photography since 1995 in a professional and artistic manner.

Currently, James is expanding in advertising and fashion photographic styles and is working with major fashion and catalog clients as a photographer and photography assistant both in studio and on location.

James is also continuing to work with fashion, editorial, lifestyle, commercial, and catalog clients such as:

Lagos • Bauman Rare Books • Magazine Blu • Comcast SportsNet • American Cancer Society • Jack + Jill • J.E. Dougherty • Black Ink Inc • Lincolnmotorsport • NorthernHues • MiNX! Clothing Co • CJ's Performance • Kimberlyn Parris • Lady J • Lydia Whitman • Monica Faulk • Sabrina West • Yalitza • Julee Will Sin • etc...

James' landscape and creative portfolios continue to grow and images from these portfolios are available for sale by contacting via telephone or email.
