New Zealand-based production company Film Construction continues its growth, supplementing its stills roster with the accomplished Jodie James.

“Jodie is a perfect fit for our stable of photographers," comments Belinda Bradley, Executive Producer. "Her unique point of view is transformative. She makes the ordinary extraordinary by finding beauty in everyday scenes and people. Her work also exudes intentional undertones that lend immediacy and gravitas to her imagery. 

"She knows just when to apply visual acceleration as she’s rounding a corner, she’s a bit of a chameleon tonally, and that’s pretty handy".

Having gained marketing experience in the USA, UK, Ireland and Switzerland, James possesses an understanding of concepts and the importance of ideas. She comprehends how to take a brief and augment it with unforeseen elements that make a lasting impression.

“My goal is for a hidden narrative to be discovered beyond the initial visual impact in my work," explains James. "I try to provide viewers with the opportunity to embark on a visual treasure hunt, weaving their own threads of meaning while finding resonance within the existing narrative".

Having the privilege of being based in Central Otago, one of the most striking shoot locations globally, James effectively utilises her local vistas for both local and international clients. She competently manages assignments across both of Aotearoa's main islands.

As a prominent female photographer in NZ, James is recognised for her creativity, competence, and proactive approach. Raised in the Otago region, she embodies the region's finest qualities.
