Hi, I’m James Kimball, and welcome to my website, James Studio Gallery. All images are © James Kimball . Originally I created this website as a gallery to showcase and sell limited edition fine art photographic prints, and offer photography, photographic post processing, and 3D services. As the services became more of a focus, it required my family and I move from Sacramento to Minneapolis. While in Minnesota for 3 years, I provided photographic services for the covers of Architectural Focus magazine; and 3D lighting and texturing for a number of animated DVDs, episodic TV, and theater. What happened, was 3D consumed me and photography was put aside. My wife Roxanne and I recently moved back west to the Sierra Mountains, this time on the other side of the mountains, in Reno Nevada. Here we are opening up a photographic art studio and gallery out of our home above the city; and I am pleased to say I no longer provide 3D services. We are specializing in portraiture and modeling portfolios. We specifically chose this home for its 15’ ceiling height and very large studio space to provide the best professional lighting conditions for the clients and models to be lit and space for them to move. Once we get settled in, you are welcome to come in and view the framed prints on display. If you would like to book a session, please feel free to contact us. All sessions are booked in evenings and weekends. If you have a specific place you would like to have your photographic art created, we can work with you on that. The website is undergoing changes to reflect the change in direction from 3D to back photography. My new cell phone number is: 775.848.1832 Feel free to call. The MINI Cooper pictured here (to be removed as the site changes) is a 3D rendering of a car modeled by Nigel Schutte. Surfacing, lighting, set design, post processing fx, and camera rendering are provided by James Studio Gallery.

The Moodsters Congrats to Wet Cement Productions for pulling off the impossible! The production staff produced a half hour pilot of 6 fully furry bipedal creatures for The Moodsters Company. - Animators created over 50% of the show in 2 weeks! - Technical Directors lit and rendered over 70% of the show in 2 weeks! - Compositors finished over 50% of the shots in one week! The teams pushed harder than ever and deserve a big THANK YOU! Their spouses and children do too for all the support! The team had a difficult deadline and delivered the show on time. Thank you to the entire staff at Wet Cement Productions! Image courtesy of The Moodster Company ©2006
