Mary J. Blige, New York
“Occasionally even I get starstruck. Mary J has that effect on me. When asked to shoot her for Vogue due to her exceptionally big year I had fun merging her music with fashion and this timeless concept. It is Mary to a tee for me”
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.Featured in books: Russell James (2008) and Nomad Two Worlds.
