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.

Lots and lots of green

I hardly ever am able to post a landscape shot. Since I live in London I mainly focus on cityscapes and architecture but would love to visit the English country side to get more like this. Well this isn’t really the English countryside as you can probably tell. This is a landscape in Erice, Malta.

I am making it a 2012 resolution to get more shots like this. The top of my list if a trip to the south of Wales as I have a friend there who I haven’t seen in ages. It also tapes the the countryside is excellent and can’t wait to get some sunset pictures on the coastline.

The temple in Malta

On friday I posted a photo from Segesta in Malta. That was of the remains of an amphitheatre and this is the temple on the same site. 

I am hoping to get out and about in London soon to get some good christmas pictures. The place is covered in christmas lights and I haven’t had the time to get out in ages  as I have been so busy.

Have a good weekend.

Does someone Segest a show?

My cleaver title is meant to tell you where this photo was taken…. no really you didn’t get it from that? Well its an amphitheatre in……. Segesta. NO I hadn’t heard of it either but it is a great place in Malta with 2 Greek ruins. 

Positioned on Mount Barbaro, the archeological site, about seventy kilometers southwest of Palermo, reflects the presence of several ancient civilizations. The Elymians from Asia who settled in Greece in 1200BC.

I will post a picture of the temple at a later date. Enjoy the weekend everyone.
