Meet the Photographer 📸
Hi, I’m James Bowden—21 years old and based in Jamestown, Tennessee.
I started my photography journey five years ago with my first camera, a Canon 5D Mark III paired with an 85mm lens. From the moment I picked it up, I knew this was something I wanted to pursue.
Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to travel across the Upper Cumberland capturing weddings, couples, and seniors—telling stories through every image I take.
My goal is to turn this passion into a full-time career, and I’m working every day to make that happen.
Outside of photography, I work as a bank teller, stay involved in my community through multiple boards—including the Fentress County Fair Youth Board—and serve as the President and Founder of the Miss Tennessee Mountain Pageant, supporting nonprofit organizations across the state.
Thank you for being here and supporting my journey.
This is just the beginning. ✨
