Portrait of Tyrell James

About

Hi, I'm Tyrell.

I'm an Ottawa-based photographer. I started shooting because I wanted a way to slow down the things that move too fast — first looks, the way light lands on someone you love, a friend's laugh you'll forget the sound of in a year.

My approach is documentary-first with an editorial edge: I'll guide you when you need it, then step back and let the day unfold. I want your photos to feel like the day actually felt — not staged, not stiff, just yours.

When I'm not behind the camera you'll find me hunting for the best espresso in the city, on a long walk with a film camera, or planning the next road trip.
