Noot Cuba Portrait, 1999
“Noot Sear, the Canadian, travelled with me and my crew to Cuba for an unforgettable trip. I took this photograph on the stairwell of an abandoned building that had the bones of an artist throughout its line. The light in Cuba is like no other place I have ever been. It was a very special trip to share with her.”
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.
