Faith, Nashville, 2008

Sep 30

“Faith has the uncanny talent that allows her to move seamlessly between musical genres. I did many sittings with Faith, however this to me is quintessential Faith – a timeless classic beauty.”

RUSSELL JAMES

James’ interest in people has led to a diverse portrait series featuring renowned musicians, actors, politicians and cultural icons. While the portraits themselves are striking, the series is rooted in the quiet moments off-camera — in the trust and collaboration that unfolds.
“The eyes truly are the window to the soul. It’s the place I search first that has the ability to connect us all in a very special way.”
Portraits of Influence includes figures such as:

Rihanna, Scarlett Johansson, Hugh Jackman, Hillary Clinton, Barbra Streisand, Halle Berry and others.
