Brian James is an American Fashion & Portrait Photographer based in St. Petersburg, Florida. He has been running his studio at FL CraftArt since 2010 and has shot multiple assignments abroad from London, Paris, Milan, Montreal, and Reykjavík. His focus is photographing people and telling their stories as "That's what life is all about," he says, "Human connections, sharing, and leaving lasting impressions." Gillian worked with Brian as part of her FL CraftArt 2023 Emerging Artist Program, where they took headshots to promote each artist. The pair had such fun working together that they did a whole photoshoot that let Gillian’s personality as an artist shine.
