Hello! I'm H.N. James, a seasoned and internationally-published Music and Portrait photographer based in Nashville, TN.

WHAT I OFFER

Creative Portraits

My portrait photography focuses on expressing the personality, mood, and expressions of individuals or groups. I use light and color to creatively highlight what's amazing in human beings in an authentic way.

Headshots

I create vibrant and customized headshots for corporate or creative business owners, artists of all stripes, and other rad humans.

Live Music

I specialize in live music photography for musicians and bands in Nashville (and beyond) by capturing the raw energy and authentic spirit of live performances. With an eye for dynamic moments and emotional storytelling, I deliver timeless images that show the world what it was like to be there.
