Always moving

Anyone that has worked with James knows that the value he brings extends beyond his evocative imagery. With decades of experience, James provides an unparalleled ability to problem solve and think on his feet, and his relaxed and genuine approach ensure that both the process and outcomes are enjoyable and rewarding.

This combination of factors led to our Self-truth®, ‘Always moving’. The visual identity is simple and bold, a simple blinking shutter motif invites the viewer to ‘see through the lens’ of James Geer.

Self-titled took the time to understand my challenges and grasped things I’d struggled to articulate myself. They translated ideas into a visual identity that is an honest reflection of who I am as a photographer, allowing me to see my own work with fresh eyes.
