BACKGROUND

James Bartholomew is an internationally published professional photographer, author and teacher with over 20 years' experience in Fine Art and commercial photography. He is Director of Photography for David Game College in west London, and is also associated with several other London colleges. James is uniquely experienced in both photographic education and key skill recruitment for top working photographers who want to pass on their talents.

James has personal experience in overcoming addiction, is trained as a Co-counsellor and as a Samaritan volunteer, and his prison experience includes leading AA meetings for prison clients. He is a Quaker, with a key interest in prison welfare and reform.

For James, serious photography is a window that shows a person’s relationship to the world, and also to themselves.

“On a deeper level, photography can become a development of more than visual awareness, that also reflects things – and values and meanings - both outside and inside yourself:

“Simple curiosity or visual interest becomes a way of looking for meaning, which develops into whole new ways of seeing things. It’s a kind of reflective philosophy that doesn’t stop, once you’ve opened your mind as well as your eyes. The camera in the end just becomes a simple extension of your eye in your hands, once you go beyond just looking and start to see.”
