James Brosher Photography
Portfolio website for James Brosher, a Bloomington, Indiana based editorial and wedding photographer specializing in action, documentary, and portrait images.
For the last few months, I have been doing food photography work for a new client: my wife. Earlier this year, Barbara restarted her former food and lifestyle blog, The Broadcasting Baker. I have never considered myself a great food photographer, but shooting for Barbara’s blog as given me the opportunity to practice plating and composing various dishes. Practice makes perfect, but I have a long way to go before my food photography skills are as good as Barbara’s cooking/baking skills.
This summer has been a new experience for me. As a student, I never experienced a full summer in Bloomington. Now, as a townie, I’ve gotten the chance to see Bloomington and the Indiana University campus in all its blooming, laid-back glory. In a few weeks, that’ll all change when students start arriving en masse, but I’ve enjoyed the summer thus far. My photoshoots at IU have decreased considerably the last couple months, but it’s a welcome change of pace after the graduation season in May. Here are a few favorites from my daily work on assignment for Indiana University Communications:
I had the opportunity last week to photograph Circle K International’s “Circle the City with Service” project in Indianapolis as part of the Kiwanis International convention in Indianapolis. The project spanned several blocks on Indy’s west side and I spent the day bouncing around from project site to project site photographing the college students in action for the Kiwanis Magazine.
Earlier this month, I photographed six Indiana University commencement ceremonies in a five-day span. For me, these graduations are the most important IU shoots I will have all year. While these photos may be used on social media, marketing materials and websites in the short-term, I approach the graduations as a chance to document the long-term history of the university. It was a whirlwind of a week, but a lot of fun to have the opportunity to make pictures at various IU campuses around the state. Here is a selection of my favorite moments from the ceremonies I photographed:
