Laura James

Photography for me is a tribute to life. Fresh air and sunlight on my face are the perfect muse. I became interested in photography 12 years ago and have always shot digitally. I have been developing my skills both behind the camera and in front of my computer to create works of art.

Recently, I discovered a new passion with platinum palladium printmaking in the darkroom. The darkroom exudes a spirituality of color, smell, sound and touch that feels more personal and creates a deeper connection with my art. The tonality and depth the platinum palladium process produces is astonishing. The darkroom is where my vision becomes reality and my images become ready for sharing.
