I'm Curtis James, and I am involved in a number of projects.
I’m co-founder and ethnographic photographer at self/other CIC along with anthropologist Simon Newitt and designer Emily Macaulay.
I’m also working on an Arts Council funded R&D project in the community I grew up in, training and supporting residents to do their own ethnography.
I have a number of personal photography projects on the go. One is an in depth look at Work and all it's layers and facets called Beyond Work.
I work out of a studio in central Brighton that doubles as a dark room, letterpress, screenprinting and bookbinding studio.
I co-founded and worked at People Who Do between 2008 and 2014. I developed and ran a global music programme for Heineken between 2002 and 2008. I made records during the 90's.
I go hiking and wildcamping a lot. Sometimes I photograph those adventures.
