Vincent James

Bio: "Originally a musician and web designer from New York City, Vincent moved to Northern California and became instantly inspired by the beauty of the California coast which eventually led him to start dabbling with photography in 2010.  He currently lives in Oakland and in addition to being a visual artist, continues to keep himself busy as a musician and the manager of digital communications for a local nonprofit foundation.

Vincent travels widely throughout the West, most notably California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, and Utah for his inspirations.  Favorite locations to shoot are the Pacific coast, national parks, the southwest deserts, the Hawaiian islands, mountain lakes, streams, and anywhere in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Telescopes, microscopes, still and video cameras have always fascinated him as a way to step out of everyday reality and see something with a fresh perspective. His photography interests range from natural abstracts and details to seascapes, landscapes, and urban night and low-light compositions. Vincent’s images often balance the dark and mysterious with an ethereal misty bright moment of hope and wonderment." 

​

Inspirations: Eliot Porter, Eyvind Earle, Tony Sweet, and Galen Rowell.
