JTBPhotography JournalField notes for working photographers

Author / Editor

James T.
Blakely

A working photographer and editor writing about the decisions, tools and quiet systems behind a durable picture-making practice.

James writes from the space between a first test frame and a finished delivery. His interests are practical: how a small change in source distance changes a face, why a second body earns its space, and which workflow habits let a photographer stay attentive when an assignment gets busy.

JTB Photography Journal is edited as a publication rather than a product catalogue. When a guide points toward gear, the working problem comes first. When it mentions a standard or right, the source is named.
