James Ritchie

   James Ritchie has always had an interest in art and photography, but it wasn't until retirement that he was able to devote himself to serious artistic endeavors. He has since taken an autodidactic path from hobbyist to fine art photographer. His award-winning work is exhibited internationally, and owned in a growing number of private and corporate collections. 
.
In 2019 his recognition expanded to New York City, winning the Chelsea International Fine Art Competition Excellence Award, and exhibiting at George Billis Gallery. Mr. Ritchie was selected 2019 IPA Special Photographer of the Year, awarded First Place for his night photography, and recognized at the prestigious Lucie Awards at Carnegie Hall.
