Media by James Stanley

Following an honorable discharge from the U.S. Navy, where I served with distinction as a Mass Communication Specialist (MC) specializing in Photojournalism for a commendable 12-year tenure, I made a deliberate choice to continue my photographic journey. The pivot in my focus is evident, transitioning from capturing military ceremonies, aircraft, combat training, and ship-board life to embracing the diverse tapestry of civilian experiences.

In a conscious effort to broaden my skill set beyond the lens, I enrolled at the esteemed Brooks Institute in photography. Leveraging my G.I. Bill benefits, I pursued and successfully attained a degree in Graphic Design. The symbiotic relationship between my prowess in photography and graphic design has cultivated a harmonious workflow, streamlining the creative process from conceptualization to final production.

While my versatility equips me to tackle a myriad of creative challenges with unwavering commitment, my passion finds a distinct resonance in the automotive after-market industry. This chosen niche allows me to channel my enthusiasm and expertise towards creating compelling visual narratives.

Originally hailing from the vibrant city of San Diego, California, I have recently embarked on a new chapter by relocating to the dynamic landscape of East Texas. In this new environment, I am poised to not only continue but to elevate my trajectory of success in the realms of photography and graphic design.

Very Respectfully,

James R. Stanley Jr.
