My interests are pretty varied, but generally, are all connected somehow through art and/or technology. The company has been comically varied in work over the past many years. For instance, I’ve made video games for motion simulators, worked on the Virgin Galactic SpaceShipTwo space flight simulator software in a 25 million dollar human centrifuge (which is now being used for SpaceX training as well), redesigned the audio portion of a military jet fighter simulator, designed touchscreen software for many pharmaceuticals, made video presentations for keynote speeches, played/recorded/engineered/produced/mastered a large amount of music, authored DVDs/Blu-rays, animated company logos, shot many videos/films (which have won many awards including best film and best cinematography), worked on visual effects and compositing for film, shot thousands of photographs (which have been featured from magazines to jigsaw puzzles to the BBC), recorded and edited thousands of hours of voice-over (for clients such as Rowan University, Bosch, Microsoft, and ExxonMobil), shot countless live events (from David Crosby to Renaissance), flown various drones for a variety of projects, directed live video for the Philadelphia Orchestra, etc.

I introduce myself as J. Pamela. I am a Washington, D.C. metro-based photographer. Over time, I have been intentionally varied in my photography; creating a library of images held in a wide-ranging portfolio. Everyday there is something or someone that calls to the camera. I see my camera as a tool to see the world I live in. I have photographed sporting events to include softball, baseball, basketball, soccer, tennis, and most recently rugby. I have photographed corporate events, community events and conferences. I have photographed an intimate wedding, capturing wedding details and emotional stills. I have provided portraits for high school graduating seniors of 50+ students. I have photographed local fashion show, providing coverage over a four-day period. I have also done portraiture, personal and business branding, creating images showcasing an active lifestyle or brand-conscious content.

I'm an award-winning storyteller based in DC. I have an ability to disarm people, establish trust, and build relationships quickly. That's allowed me to witness some pretty incredible moments — 1/250th of a second at a time. I earned a journalism degree from the University of Florida and began my career in newspapers, where I worked for nearly 15 years. Now, I'm an independent visual journalist who works for a host of clients who appreciate a strong narrative. I love documentary projects, sports culture, and allowing people's personality to come out in portraiture. My primary focus in my personal projects has been on social issues, including poverty, immigration, and how people are affected by the criminal justice system. As a two-time International Women's Media Foundation fellow, I have worked on the US-Mexico border in both Ciudad Juárez and Nogales, Sonora. My work has been recognized by UNICEF, POYi, NPPA's Best of Photojournalism, the Atlanta Photojournalism Seminar, the Southern Short Course, the Casey Medals for Meritorious Journalism, and the Alexia Foundation student grant. In February 2017, I was appointed to serve a second term as president of the National Press Photographers Association. I'm an alumna of the Eddie Adams Workshop (Barnstorm XIV) and have volunteered for 14 of the last 16 years as a member of the faculty. I'm also the founder of the online photo community called APhotoADay, which started in 2001 with only two members and has grown to over 2,500 worldwide. We hold an annual photography conference (lovingly called GeekFest) and distribute the Backyard Storytelling Grant to photojournalists working on stories close to home. I'm available for editorial and commercial assignments anywhere you need me to be. CLIENTS INCLUDE: ESPN.com, CNN.com, Mother Jones, Esquire, ProPublica, Inc. Magazine, Mashable, The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, The Intercept, Rolling Stone magazine, Sports Illustrated, Audubon Magazine, the NCAA's Champion magazine, AARP, Education Week, STAT, Teach For America, Kiplinger's, The New Republic, Huck Magazine

I am a New Orleans native-based photographer; but I also work out of Houston, New York, and DC. I am obsessed with portraits. It is all about the process of creating the portrait, and the story behind the portrait. The process of creating the portrait is a mark of true craftsmanship. I try to capture portraits that are honest. I often use black and white photographs to achieve that. I believe black and white photographs allow me to see; to truly see. When color is absent it is all about the architecture of the photograph; the light, the emotion, the tonality, the lines, and the shapes. It allows me to see deeper. If you prefer your photographs to be in color, that’s fine too. My priority is my client. In order to deliver the best possible product to my client, I get to know who they are, what their needs are, and what their vision is.
