Based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, James Jackson is a freelance photographer specializing in lifestyle, editorial fashion, beauty, and commercial photography. James also services the west coast via Seattle, Wa. and the North East by way of New York City, NY.

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 his portfolio with lifestyle, editorial fashion, and beauty photography, and is working with major fashion and catalog clients. James' freelance photography experiences encompass both studio and location shooting.

James continues to work with fashion, editorial, lifestyle, commercial, and catalog clients such as:

Royal Blue Apparel • B.Someday Productions • Spring International • BellosCogen • Soul Train Magazine • American Theatre Magazine • Berserker Residents • Black Mary Jane • Village Productions • Hater Free Productions • OrigiVation • Leslie Kramer • Lagos • Bauman Rare Books • Magazine Blu • Comcast SportsNet • American Cancer Society • Jack + Jill • J.E.
