Hi, Hola, Bonjour , Ciao , مرحبا, 您好, bok, hei and welcome.

My name is James Murray and I live in London, England but love to go exploring in foreign climates. Coming from a design background I look at photography as an extension of this, recording the lifestyles and architecture that make up are world.

My passion for photography started when I first picked up a film camera (wow I miss the darkroom), capturing the moments of my accident filled childhood. I transferred this passion into my studies mixing in all of my design influences to create my own style.

Architecture and photography are the perfect blend each complementing the other. As a HDR (High Dynamic Range) enthuiast, I use this technique to enrich my images.

I have worked as a photographer since 2010, taking photos of the enviroment that I lived in around London, selling images as artworks and to companies. In 2011 I worked for Disney on their cruise ships with the big mouse himself. Onboard I worked as a portrait and wedding photographer, learning new techniques and feeding my travel bug.

Every photo is a memory; there is no better way to capture it then how you see it, not how the camera sees it.

 

Stacky Theme by Andrew

Well perhaps not brutal but definitely inspired from brutalist architecture. This is one of the entrances/exits of the Canary Wharf underground station. It is probably my favourite station to photo as the architecture is superb. This is the more quiet entrance. The main one is much larger but designed in the same type of style. It was taken out on a photo walk with Dylan, John and Mike. We weren’t out for long as is was freezing and felt like -20 (in reality it was more like -3) so pretty cold. I didn’t use a tripod for this photo and perhaps I should of. It caused me to raise the ISO so a lot of noise was produced. I managed to get rid of most of it but I am still not happy with the actual opening in the entrance. I produced a version where that noise was gone but it still didn’t float my boat.
