ABOUT JAMES BRIGHT

About Me

Hello, I am James 

My photography mainly is based around portraits and headshots. As i practice this most and love meeting and greeting new people.

 

I was born in Harlow Essex, and this impacted the urban style of portraits during covid in 2020.  My work mainly focused on sunrises but during COVID  in 2020 my friends and I started skateboarding and portraits as that became more my niche.

 

I was photographing my friends spreading the love and enjoying the thrill as we skated through the town and down the roads we weren't supposed to. My friends and I were long boarders meaning we loved the big down hills and the hard core thrills. They are the reason I shoot portraits now and I am forever grateful to them. 

 

In 2021 I started studying Photography at the University For The Creative Arts Farnham, Surrey. Exploring different cameras and spaces including the studio, little did I know that I would be spending my entire life it feels like in the studio. Learning how to control the lights and directing people to find the inner beauty in someone. 

It's now 2024, I'm 2 years older then when I started university I have worked with lots of amazing people and surrounding myself with other like minded people to push each other to the highest we can be constantly. 

In July I will graduate University with a BA (Hons) Photography and its been one of the best experiences of my life. 

Let's start talking to see where your journey starts!

Thank you :)
