James Jackson is a freelance photographer based in Philadelphia, PA. He provides fashion, editorial, lifestyle, and commercial imagery for local, national, and international clients. James also services the west coast via Seattle, Wa. and the North East by way of New York City, NY. Photography as both an art form and a communications tool is more important in the age of digital and wireless than at any other time in history. We now increasingly turn to the instant reception of information allowed by the visual representation of thoughts and ideas rather than trying to communicate those same thoughts through words. Language barriers are easily overcome with images, and during this time of globalization, it is becoming a key issue to communicate through image effectively. It is the skill of photographers that allows this communication to happen and the talent of these artists to transmit a clear message. James Jackson has been communicating his message through photography since 1995 in a professional and artistic manner.
