James Lewis Photo

Arizona-based portrait photographer, educator, speaker, trainer, mentor, and coach James Lewis is hard to capture on a single page. In a word: he’s eclectic. He is a Jeep Wrangler guy, yet he recently sold his own Wrangler for a Toyota Prius. He is crazy about tattoos but doesn’t have any. The people who know him best describe him as the most extroverted introvert they’ve ever met. As diverse and eclectic as James is, his interests are unified by his love of people. As a portrait photographer, James loves to shoot people (with a camera) and is deeply influenced by artists like Annie Liebovitz and Gregory Heisler. He shoots in a fashion, beauty, commercial and environmental portrait style to show his clients the real beauty they often don’t see in themselves. James has studied Music Performance and Counseling Psychology, which informs his daytime work in education. His teaching, training, and coaching is grounded in positive psychology with specific interests in interpersonal process and psychosocial aspects of learning and motivation. James is obnoxiously passionate about teaching, training, mentoring, and coaching people in a manner that empowers them towards greater self-efficacy and success.

I recently discovered my posts have been “shadowbanned.” Because I’ve using the exact same hashtags forever (via copy and paste) my posts don’t show up when people search these hashtags and my posts are getting pushed to the bottom of people’s IG feed... so, when I was looking through images of @angelajordan2u ...this secret agent #jamesbond image caught my eye... I’m calling it #shadowban Angela was such a treat to work with... in a short session, we accomplished quite the variety of looks and mood. Thank you my friend. http://ift.tt/2DsHNE4

I have the best clients ...not afraid to get a little goofy with me. I think @kareebobaree, her husband, and I actually accomplished a lot despite all the laughs. Thanks you two for the great session. HMUA: @ahlonnahmanning http://ift.tt/2zi8lbn
