KIND WORDS FROM KIND PEOPLE

I had the pleasure of having photos taken of me with my drums. My personal and professional life center around the power of the frame drum to help people reclaim their own voice and unique rhythm. David was able to center in and create beautiful images for me that I have already started to put to use. Adjusting the lighting and space to bring me and the drums to life. The response from my community has been wonderful. Thank you immensely for capturing my spirit!

"I highly recommend James David West. I have been an actor for over 20 years and have had headshots taken in Los Angeles and other industry towns. James David runs a very artistic and professional photography studio. He takes the time to curate the exact look you desire and is very collaborative and thorough, ensuring that you are satisfied. James has a very unique and current photographic vision, and I am so pleased with the results. My agent loved the shots as well.

I've known JDW for a while now and have worked with him in front of the camera, but when I had the chance to be in front of his lens, I jumped at the opportunity. He has a keen and unique eye that truly captures the essence of who you are.

"I had such a fantastic experience with JDW Photography! The session was fun, light-hearted, and completely different from past experiences where my photos ended up looking stiff and staged. Not with JDW! He offered great suggestions while also encouraging me to play around with my own ideas. If you're looking for a professional photo shoot with an extremely talented photographer who brings confidence, flexibility, and a sense of playfulness to the process, JDW Photography is your choice!

James David has a rare ability to connect with people on a personal level, and that connection shines through in his work.

“I’ve worked with JDW Photography twice now! When you arrive, David makes sure that you’re comfortable and ready to have fun, then starts coordinating the right lighting and angles to best capture your presence. You are encouraged with creative prompts and scenarios that evoke different emotions and looks. Once you’ve wrapped a “look”, there’s a secure space for wardrobe changes and makeup. The shoots are always light and filled with laughter, and before you know it–you're done!"
