The Adventures of Professional Photographer James H. Pickett » Random

James Pickett Back to school tuition and housing fund.

As a 31 year old professional I have decided to go back to school and complete a degree. At this time I have been accepted to FIT in New York and began preparations for the fall. I do not come from a wealthy family and considering the current state of our economy, work has been very slow. I have decided to dedicate all proceeds from my artwork sales to my tuition and housing. There is a facebook page dedicated to the fundraising, and a direct donation link below. The largest contributor by Sept 1 will have a custom made 24×30 acrylic collage made.

Purchase Artwork and prints here.

I am not the type of person to just take handouts, so feel free to hire me for a photography, graphic design, art, marketing, IT, or event coordination project to aid the tuition fund as well.

For those that would just like to donate, as opposed to purchasing artwork I have added a donation link below. Every donation over $20 will receive artwork of some kind. The size of the print or piece will depend on the size of the donation. Thank you all for your continued support.

There are posters of my work for sale.

My dear friend Kim who owns Visual Winds Studio, one of the best fine art printers in New York, has started a new business, Ink As Art. Ink As Art is a website designed to sell photo and art posters inexpensively. Being a customer of Visual Winds and a friend Kim has asked for some work to have on the site. You can view my gallery and purchase posters on my Ink As Art Page.

@Profoto Event At Industria Superstudio Hosted by @macgroup [PHOTOS]

As part of the Photo Assistant Challenge Profoto Is holding events across the country for photo assistants to learn the new Pro 8a air and try the equipment out. As photographers we are all still assistants to those that are more established than us, and all assistants are usually photographers, so I signed up to check the equipment out. Not only was it an insanely fun time, but the 8a air is one of the finest, and fastest flash generators I have ever put my hands on, It is the stop-motion hardcore band in the mosh pit that is professional photography. Special thanks to my friends from the Macgroup for putting on such a wonderful event. Enjoy the samples.

Aperture Portfolio Prize

Hasselblad Masters

Surface Magazine Avant Guardian

Profoto Assistant

Leica Oskar Barnack Award

List will be updated as I come across more contests. Since I dont believe a contest should carry a “per image” entry fee, I will more than likely not include contests of this type unless they are monumental.

First Look At Jezebels Encore Images.

Jezebels Encore is comprised of Jared Funari and Jamel King and is a new project for both musicians. At this point I personally don’t even know what genre I would place the style in, but they are quite amazing together. This is a taste of their press photoshoot, a day I decided to challenge myself and shoot nothing but natural light, in the harshest of light conditions with no artificial diffusion. I must say I am quite pleased with the results, look forward to more images very soon.
