Starting in commercials in the nineties, James developed a critical eye for detail and formal lighting by working closely with many brilliant cameramen. With thirteen feature films under his belt, it was time for some much needed trench warfare in television. Demanding yet highly satisfying, this proved to be an indispensable training ground; where James was able to combine a guerilla film style with the elegance and traditional lighting of films and commercials. These are the properties that have made James’ name a requisite on many call sheets.
