About James Mitchell

I am a Professional Photographer based on Lanzarote in the Canary Islands specialising in weddings & wedding portraits.

I also hold a keen interest in sport related photography, particularly triathlon, which can be seen on my sports website.

As a photographer I have been learning, growing and experimenting for 11 years.

At weddings I search for moments, when shooting properties I look for light, at events its about capturing the mood and emotions provoked and when taking portraits I need not search.

To me portraits should reveal the inner essence of the subject in its purest form.
