Behind the Lens: A Storyteller at Heart
I’m James Minichello, an event photographer with a passion for telling stories through powerful visuals.
With a background in broadcast journalism and more than 20 years as a communications officer for national nonprofits, I learned the art of narrative—how to frame, focus, and connect emotionally through imagery and storytelling. Later, I deepened my understanding of how visuals can inspire empathy, elevate causes, and move people to action.
Today, I bring that experience to every assignment—whether I’m documenting a corporate conference, a nonprofit gala, a leadership milestone, or creating authentic portraits that reveal the heart behind the title.
Photography with purpose.
My approach is simple: observe with curiosity, connect with intention, and photograph with purpose. I believe great images don’t just capture what something looked like—they convey what it felt like.
If you’re a professional, organization, or brand looking for storytelling-driven imagery that captures both context and character, I’d love to collaborate.
