Portrait Photography for Creatives
Authentic. Candid. You.
Kia ora, I’m James Price.... photographer, artist, and storyteller. I work with soulful creatives who want more than just a headshot.
My documentary-style portrait sessions are designed to capture you in your element, painting in your studio, composing at the piano, sketching on the floor, or simply daydreaming out the window.
Because here’s the thing: you don’t need to “pose” to be powerful. You just need to be seen.
For Artists, Makers & Creative Professionals
Whether you’re a painter prepping for your next exhibition, a tattoo artist with a story to tell, or a musician crafting your next release, I create portraits that reflect your truth, not a filtered version of it.
Why Documentary-Style?
Because your creative journey is the story. My approach blends journalistic observation with artistic composition. That means I won’t direct every detail — I’ll observe, capture, and gently guide when needed. We’ll create images that are honest, textured, and deeply you.
“James didn’t just take my photo. He helped me see myself as an artist.”, a client (and now friend)
