Hi, I’m James.
I help performers become truly present in front of the camera.
Your photos should feel like you on your best day - grounded, alive, authentically yourself.
In every session, we use the camera as a mirror: to explore vulnerability, to practice presence, to remember what makes you the one and only (hint: it’s just being you).
This isn't just a photo shoot. It's a chance to see yourself clearly - and let others see you too.
Curious? Let's create something real together.
Individual On-Camera Sessions
The Step
Introduction Session | $300
Your first step into presence-led photography.
This session is designed for performers who are curious about working with me but not ready to commit to a full session - or who just need a few strong images for auditions or social media.
What's Included
40 minutes together (10 minute prep + 30 minute shoot)
Choose your focus: Headshots OR Portraits OR Movement
1 look/outfit - wear something that feels like you
Presence coaching - we'll start with simple grounding exercises so you feel relaxed and embodied on camera
All color-graded photos included
No edited photos: Edits are available for $40 / image
Perfect for: Headshots, quick portfolio updates, testing the waters
What Happens
We won't rush into shooting. We'll take some time to settle down, breathe, and connect with yourself.
Most people are surprised by how different presence-led photography feels from traditional headshot sessions. Less "chin down, smile" and more "just be."
You'll leave with photos that feel like you - and a taste of what deeper presence work can unlock.

What Makes It Different
This isn't a longer photo shoot - it's a creative journey.
We will have time to fail, experiment, discover. To follow impulses. To pause when something vulnerable comes up and work with it instead of past it.
You'll leave with a complete body of work that represents the full spectrum of who you are as an artist - and often, a deeper understanding of yourself.
