James White
James White (www.artmixphotography.com) — After completing his studies at Art Institute of Chicago where his primary training was history and theory of photography, James White moved to Italy to begin his career. While in Italy, White had the opportunity to teach photography at an American university program in Florence. During his tenure, he taught himself the technical side of photography in order to better educate his students. After teaching, White relocated to New York to shoot fashion and it was there that he launched his career in celebrity portraiture and is now regarded as one of the hottest celebrity photographers in the world.
White’s work is inherently perfect for Hollywood, combining beauty, sexiness and incredible lighting to create images that are seductive. His photos have graced the pages of magazines all around the world including but not limited to GQ, Glamour, Vanity Fair, Marie Claire, Entertainment Weekly, Esquire, Flaunt, Elle, and Rolling Stone. He has worked with A-list celebrities such as Nicole Kidman, Tom Cruise, Angelina Jolie, George Clooney, Charlize Theron, Jamie Foxx, Keira Knightley, Patrick Dempsey, Reese Witherspoon and many more. And as a result of his success in the editorial market, White photographs advertising and publicity campaigns for movie and television studios such as CBS, Disney Pictures, FX, Nickelodeon, Paramount, Sony Pictures, Universal, Warner Brothers and 20th Century Fox. His advertising clients are Avon, Baume Mercier, Got Milk?, Guerlain, Kinerase, L’Oreal, Maybelline, Motorola, Neutrogena, Omega, Sephora, Tiffany, and Toyota. Musically, he has worked with Capital Records, Geffen Records, Interscope, RCA Records, Sony Music, Virgin Records and Warner Bros. Records.
