Photography as a Business

Twenty Thousand Images

We have over 20,000 photographs in our stock image library, all available for your use with as little as 24 hours notice. Here you will find detailed coverage of places in North Carolina, the Southern Appalachian Mountains, and the countryside of Great Britain. A computerized image management program allows for rapid turnaround without rush fees or research fees.

Articles Bundled with Photos

Because Jim writes as well as photographs, he can deliver your content as complete photo/text packages. With these packages, you can get exactly the sort of specialized content you need, with lower total cost and much less staff time than trying to illustrate a text-only article with photos hired from stock agencies. Jim has been doing this for British Heritage Magazine since 1998, producing 27 fully illustrated articles and 5 columns, on topics of their choosing.

For your special imaging needs, Jim can go beyond supplying you with great slides to delivering the best results of the digital darkroom. By systematically managing the total image information -- from field capture, through the scanner and Photoshop, into your computers and presses -- Jim can ensure that the images you acquire are everything you hope for.

Who's Buying?

Who's been buying these images? You name it. National Geographic has used our stock images in their National Geographic Adventure Magazine and in their books division. The New York Times, Conde Nast Traveler, Field and Stream, and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution are among the major media outlets to use my stock images. However, specialty presses and magazines have been our bread-and-butter, including Our State, Disney's Family Fun Magazine, Blue Ridge Country, Backcountry Press, Coastal Carolina Press, Destinations Magazine, Endless Vacation, Farm and Ranch Living, Country Living, Mature Outlook, Midwest Express, Power and Motor Yacht. Cherbo Publishing, Farcountry Press, Running Press, Countryman Press, and (of course) textbook publishers such as Harcourt School Publishers, Holt, Rinehart and Winston, Time for Kids Publishing, and Houghton Mifflin.
