About
James Lomax is a photographer currently based in Manchester, in the North of England. My web site is a changing gallery of work from different projects, available for prints and digital images. The Words section is like the private room at the back of the gallery, where you see my further ideas and interests. Part academic notebook, part magazine-style column, part work-in-progess for a publication. Photographer-writers are rare but I enjoy this as a form of complementary expression alongside my photography.
BA (Hons) Literature and Psychology, PGCE (FE), MA Creative Technology, MA Photography.
In my first MA degree (2000-2001) I researched photography and used a photographic aesthetic to inform my projects in multimedia.
In my second MA in Photography (2007), I undertook major projects in mountain photography and another called ‘Jazz Is’, in consideration of what qualities the music has and what people say about it. In both cases, some of that material can be found here at my web site.
I’ve previously taught English, web page construction/internet usage, and computer skills. I’m currently teaching photography at Manchester College.
I’m featured in this book:
…..and was interviewed about photography on BBC Radio in August 2006.
People buy my photographs for home, office and corporate use.
Prints
High quality prints at approximately 11” x 8” for £30 (A4), and 16” x 10” for £45 (A3). Prices include postage and packing, different formats and sizes available by special arrangement. I use Paypal, and the ‘buy’ buttons take you directly to their servers. Please contact me if you wish to use an alternative method of payment.
My photographs are produced with care, at both the camera and Photoshop stage. I make ‘technical’ adjustments only: contrast, saturation, sharpening and cropping as I used to do in a darkroom, using a Canon 5D and L Series lenses. Purchases are provided without my watermark/logo, which I use to deter image theft.
Digital
To purchase my images as digital files or web-ready graphics please contact me to discuss format, licensing and fees.
Commission
If you like my work and have a particular project in mind, short or long term, please contact me below.
Book
I’m currently working on two publications, one based on Lake District photography with a narrative accompaniment and the other based on Wales photography with a more academic consideration of what narrative means for both psychology and the landscape. I refer to some of these ideas (and other interests) in my Words section, some of which derives from my MA in Photography.
If you are an editor or publisher, please contact me if you are interested. I have a special love of mountain photography, and another site called
