PhotographyI am a Phoenix Arizona based professional photographer with a passion for commercial and event photography, sports, Motorsports, portrait, fashion, and product photography.My introduction to photography came in the form of a high school photography class. I found my passion for photography and the creative process in the long hours of darkroom time developing black and white film and prints.I enjoy everything about the creative process, so when it came to a career choice I took the creative path to graphic design. All those years studying shapes, color, composition and applying those concepts to marketing and advertising design has given me a background with roots in the visual arts.I am very interested in capturing the action and beauty of Motorsports events as well as cycling both on, and off-road. I love the details of football and baseball and the fast-paced action of basketball and would never shy away from assignments that challenge me both on a technical and creative level.Contact me about licensing images or for assignments via email at: doug_james@cox.net or azalphadogphoto@cox.netGraphic DesignI have been providing creative support on a contract basis for companies in a variety of roles from producing consumer packaging and marketing support materials to web updates and email messaging projects.I am open to full-time positions as well as contract positions, but I would like to find someplace to call home utilizing my skills and experience to make a difference.Specialties: Knowledge of 4 and 6-color offset printing utilizing traditional, digital, direct-to-plate, variable data and PDF workflow technologies.
