How Can I Help?
"James is the type of mentor that truly cares about you, and he has gone above and beyond for me in so many ways over the years. When I was ready to print my first promo book, I sent the layout to him to see if he thought it looked good to go. Most mentors would have said, “yeah, looks great!” or offered minor tweaks… not James. He printed out the entire PDF, taped them to the wall of his studio, and studied and rearranged the pages until he found an order to the photos that felt right to him.
He then called me to discuss why he decided on where each photo should go. He made this portion an actual discussion, not an assertion of his opinion. That’s just one avenue of support James has given me. He has also helped me articulate and set goals, and has made himself available when I’ve sought his advice. It has been an absolute privilege to be under James’ wing. "
