In 1999 James was invited to shoot backstage at the infamous Woodstock ’99 concert during the performance of the legendary James Brown. it ignited a new passion for him ,and in the years since James has been given all-access to many exceptional concerts and live events. Aligning his solid relationships in fashion and music, James became the lead photographer at the global phenomenon, The Victorias Secret Fashion Show. James states:
“I have often likened my extraordinary backstage access to being the janitor in the closet at the White House – putting me in the hot seat to capture a historic first-hand account.”
