Peter James
Photographer, Website Designer

Peter James has as long history of creating dynamic photography. He began taking photography seriously at age 14, shooting, processing and printing his own black and white images. 20 years later, he uses the latest digital technology with just as much passion and inspiration as he ever has.

A consummate artist, his imagery speaks the language of emotion. It tells stories and sends messages without words, leaving a lasting impression on its viewers. His broad range of experience includes studio and location photography of an incredible variety of subjects; everything from microchips to mountains. He loves to take the time to finesse lighting, positioning and camera angles to capture the essence of each of his subjects.

Peter James has a natural ease to be with and his clients can attest that his personality and presence are a huge part of what keeps them coming back.

His passion for natural beauty brought him to Western Washington in 2002. Every weekend the weather allows, he is up hiking in the mountains, out kayaking around the islands or exploring Washington's beautiful valleys. His wife and daughter often join him on treks all over the western half of this beautiful continent.
