PHOTOGRAPHY

As a Commercial photographer, JAMES KERR is best known for photographing Houses, Gardens, Interiors, & Landscapes.

​

His work can also be found in a variety of publications from magazines to coffee table books.

He lives near Stratford upon Avon, UK  and travels nationally and internationally for his work.

​

Now semi retired as a photographer in order to  concentrate on his painting, he still works on various commissions and for some retained clients. 

​

“I attempt to capture the sublime moments of time and place, endeavouring to create images

that go beyond the purely representational. I seek simplicity and try to impose some order on unruly nature.

I look for the abstracted qualities of geometry and structure that underpin all good works of art.”
