Hi, I’m James — a photographer, videographer, and creative problem-solver based in beautiful Santa Barbara, California. With a background in both technical and artistic work, I bring a well-rounded perspective to every project I take on, whether I’m behind the camera or at the editing desk.

I started James Folsom Creative to help individuals, small businesses, and organizations tell their stories through powerful visuals. I’ve worked on everything from brand videos and product shoots to live event coverage and portrait sessions. No matter the project, I focus on authentic storytelling, thoughtful composition, and professional-quality results.

Beyond the lens, I’m also someone who loves collaboration. I pride myself on being easy to work with, responsive to feedback, and committed to getting the details right. If you’re looking for a Santa Barbara videographer or photographer who takes the time to understand your goals and deliver standout work, I’d love to connect.

Let’s bring your vision to life — and have a little fun while doing it.
