James Parsons - London Based International Photographer
I’m James (or JP), photographer and founder of Backdrop.
I work predominantly in the sport, travel and culture industries, focusing on creative imagery. If I’m not shooting for clients, I’m walking around cities shooting Street (see personal).
If you’ve got a project in mind, or want to just chat photography, i’d love to hear from you at James@backdrop.london.
Looking forward to talking,
JP

More about me:
Happiest moment:
Handing in my notice at my job in The City to pursue photography full-time. It’s been a wild ride since.
What’s my edge?:
I think playing high-level sports has helped me understand the genuine experience of sports stars, allowing me to pick up on the smaller, more captivating moments to capture.
My weekends look like this:
Creating YouTube videos about the Art of photography. Currently, there are 17,500 of us.
3 dream dinner guests:
Marcus Aurelius, Naval Ravikant, + Chris Williamson (and video guy Dean).
