Having graduated in Architecture & Civil Engineering in 2012, James fuses his appreciation of space and depth with the ability to master light, colour and composition in his film work which is a marriage of technical craft and creative direction.
I was born in Moscow, Russia, but was always fascinated with traveling and meeting new cultures. After several years in Vienna, Austria, I decided to move to Paris, France, and study professional photography.
Before making this choice I started career in history of art.
These days I work on different long-term projects, mostly concentrated on fine-art and documentary photography.
Camera helps me to observe the world around and to keep in time people, beauty and happy moments.
Paris-based artist Cassandre Montoriol’s traditional gouache drawings are the toast of the fashion publishing world. Her expressive, hand-drawn aesthetic is reminiscent of travel diaries, fashion illustration and textile design, which is perhaps why her feminine style is so often commissioned within the glossy pages of high-end fashion magazines. Recently Cassandre has been illustrating leafy city scenes and the interiors of shops from tiny, cluttered bookstores to towering, gleaming malls. “I make colourful and figurative work, Cassandre says. “Interior scenes, nature, landscape and people.” bio @Agent Pekka photo @Jean-marc Pau
