About

I’m David James, a self taught filmmaker, photographer and 3d artist based in Plymouth, Devon, United Kingdom.

After a period of time in the wedding industry, filming videos for many happy clients, I decided to break away and return to full time employment.

I’m now producing some of my own projects and more recently working towards creating my first animated film using Blender, a free open-source graphics software for creating animated films and visual effects.

Back in 2008, I purchased my first digital SLR camera and decided to teach myself photography. At present I shoot mainly landscapes using High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography, but try to keep away from the artistic look that HDR can sometimes produce. My main concentration at the moment is learning the camera, lighting and composition techniques.

My ultimate goal is too eventually capture a more natural photograph using the available light presented to me with a good set of ND filters.

Manor House

Manor House

My latest model of a slightly old and neglected manor house, which has been modelled from a couple of reference images. I’ve been working on this model on and off since November last year. Being so new to blender, it took some time to get use to the texturing side of things using blenders cycles [...]

New Logo

New Logo

After many years I have finally created a new logo, in fact this would be my third attempt at creating one. I’ve always wanted to have a proper lens included in my main logo but never had the opportunity of creating one without paying for someone else to do it, which would probably cost a [...]
