Piece description from the artist
Los Angeles offers a photographer's dream of architectural wonders, from the Disney Concert Hall to a sculpture in the financial district. The shapes, textures and space they fill are my canvas. I use the man made structures to create new visions that the designers, artists and architects may not have foreseen.
After graduating from R.I.T. with a degree in Photography as a Fine Art Jim went to Washington DC and began a career as a freelance photographer. He was a part time teaching assistant at the Corcoran College of Art & Design. Soon thereafter he was invited to be a Director of Photography on a stop motion film. From there he started a 40 year career in the film/visual effects business. Jim has worked with many of the best VFX shops in the country, Digital Domain, Blur, Ntropic and many more.
For the last 6 years he has been developing his photography once again and as of December 2018 it is a full time career in the Photography as a Fine Art world. He and his wife Melissa recently had their book published, “Mod Mirage- Mid Century Architecture of Rancho Mirage” that Jim did all the contemporary photography for.
Jim’s interest in photography as a design tool has led to many shows, awards and assignments. The work is about design, composition, abstract shapes and space. Light is primary, especially in black & white. Travels have taken him from Patagoinia to Los Angeles, Barcelona, Valencia, New York and many other places.
