We do not get the same moment twice in life. Life is made up of moments, and these moments pass quickly. To capture them in pure, honest form is my passion.   From San Francisco to Shanghai, I travel the world, creating innovative and lasting images that aim to better connect us to the human experience. So that we may see more of ourselves in each other. Lifestyle advertising is my specialty, and I have found that collaboration, teamwork, and a dose of excellent communication makes for happy and long-standing clients.   Whether I find myself in the back streets or on Wall Street, I am in my comfort zone of curiosity and discovery. My technical acumen and skill at putting cast and crew at ease, allows me to create an engaging work environment. It is from this foundation that we can create outstanding ideas and imagery that come to life with energy and integrity. In other words, we have a blast and make extraordinary work too!   I strive to push the boundaries of visual storytelling. I live to discover the unexpected in the ordinary so that we may see that our commonality is more prominent than our division. One of my major keys to life is celebrating our diversities.   A life-long Californian, I grew up in Los Angeles, graduated from Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara and now call San Francisco home for family and profession. I love what I do. My wife, two amazing daughters, and three furry four-legged creatures are an invigorating source of constant inspiration. If I am not on set, you will find me on the golf course trying for par, or on a lake/mountain wakesurfing and snowboarding.   Jim, an experienced advertising people lifestyle photographer, and director that has traveled the globe with his technically skilled team, for clients such as Hewlett Packard Enterprise, United Airlines, AT&T, GE Healthcare, Wells Fargo and global pharmaceutical companies. He consistently creates powerful and award-winning images that aim to connect us to the human experience and allow us to see more of ourselves in each other.
