Don's profile

Don James is a creator of abstract photographic images. He finds inspiration in natural, industrial, and urban environments, being drawn to subjects that are rarely noticed by others. They are pieces of man-made structures, details of common objects, or short-lived fragments of nature that are continuously sculpted by the elements.

He has been influenced by the abstract photographs of Brett Weston, Aaron Siskind, and William Garnett, as well as images by Precisionist painters and photographers of the early twentieth century. His work emphasizes form, line, and texture. Don’s photographic process is now digital; however, he uses a minimal amount of post-processing, comparable to the basic manipulations that were used in making his traditional darkroom prints.

“My goal as a photographer is to show people what they’re missing in their day-to-day environment. No matter where you live, work, or travel, there are things that will stimulate your own creative instincts.“
