James Jackson is a freelance fashion photographer; artist of theatre direction, design, and production; and a cinematographer, who learned most of what he knows from a long career of taking jobs in a multitude of art fields. He started learning at the feet of my artistic family and as I grew I kept pursuing the arts as both a passion and an endeavor. “Along the way I've learned to travel light; eat well: call on reserves of energy I didn't know I had when I needed them; and to always be exploring the world with my eyes, ears, heart, and mind.
