Santa Barbara is the home of one of the leading photography schools in the country, Brooks Institute. Consequently, being a photographer in Santa Barbara is very competitive. Jim, a graduate of Brooks, has proven himself as one of the best. His specialty is architecture and corporate, but when he's not photographing executives or some of the more expensive homes in the U.S., he is traveling to countries and photographing the culture and customs. Jim has a unique style worthy of consideration.

As with any of the Best USA Photographers, we ask you to follow certain rules.

1. Do not copy their work. Most of it has been tagged and can be traced if it's used anywhere or downloaded.

2. Please do not contact the photographers and ask them questions that do not pertain to serious bids. Like: Do you date your models? Can I have her phone number? Where was that picture taken? etc.

3. If you are looking for a bidding war, these photographers are not going to be your lowest bidders, but they will be your BEST VALUE. In the advertising field there is an expression - One image (photo) is worth a million dollars. A great photograph in an ad campaign can make or break a company. Successful advertisers know that the photographer is their most critical decision.
