Bio
Alice Nalepka
James is a great photographer and videographer. He pays attention to every detail and he clearly communicates what he wants and needs for a project.
Nicole Balderas
James is a reliable and patient co-worker. During my time as a writer for the NT Daily, I worked with various types of photographers. James always showed up to an assignment early and with ideas in mind. Though he can and does work well independently, James is definitely a team player when it comes to working with a writer. He will ask the writer what their vision for a story is first and do his best to accommodate their needs.
