James Holmdahl, a self-taught photographer, has had a passion for photography since childhood. His love for the outdoors and animals has greatly influenced his work. In 2010, he made the decision to invest in quality equipment and pursue his dream of capturing the most captivating photographs possible. Over the years, James has primarily sold his photography at art shows, but in 2021 he has made the exciting transition to selling his work online.
His landscape photography is the result of years of dedication, taking long trips at the perfect time of year and waiting patiently for the ideal lighting. His splash photography is a unique blend of special effects, using elements like swimming pools, fireworks, dry ice, propane, gas, oil, and a large wooden tower for dropping objects into the pools. His humorous scenes are all captured in real locations with practical effects, often requiring multiple attempts to achieve the perfect shot.
James's beloved cat, George Poppy Johnson, has a unique fascination with water, often finding himself in sinks, bathtubs, and puddles. His dog, Teka, is a versatile performer who has tackled activities like surfing, snowboarding, and even achieved fame as a flying dog, appearing in Ripley's Believe it or Not books. James invites you to explore his captivating photos and consider purchasing prints for your home or office decor.
