James’ main stage for their photography was the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Living in Akron, James was on the edge of the Park and walked its trails almost daily. Along with their wife Eve, James also takes trips to places and parks in the US and travels occasionally overseas. James finds most subjects for their photos by hiking and observing the wildlife when it presents itself. The original image is downloaded from their camera to the computer where it is usually cropped in PhotoShop. If possible, James tries not to touch the color of the subject, but they do modify the color of the background to sepia/black and white. James then fades the edges of the photo to bring the viewer’s eye into the area of the subject. By “muting” the background, the subject takes center stage.

Christopher Doherty – Delray Beach, FL
Christopher Doherty is an award winning and widely published professional photographer for over 21 years now. With over 30 countries under his belt he primarily focuses on underwater marine life to show the world its wonders and to help educate others to preserve it beauty. All of his images are 100% genuine captures from out in the wild. He also personally produces all of his images in his print shop. Printing on a prograde fine art metallic photo paper and bonding it to museum grade acrylic. Face-mounting photos onto acrylic is an art form in itself. The rich color gamut and the unique metallic surface provides extreme sharpness and depth. The acrylic works to preserve the print as well as enhance the prints natural vibrancy. A floating frame is attached to the back giving the print a very sleek and modern look.
