James thinks photography is not just about capturing reality but capturing our own perception or interpretation of everything around us. When taking a picture, she looks out for her subject’s emotions and perceptions of themselves at that very moment they are in front of the lens. She believes that picture taken of someone or anyone is permanent and you’ve captured the truth of them in that moment. She is also driven by her curiosity, her imagination, creativity and the need to be different.
