Perris, CA, November 22, 2017 --(PR.com)-- James C. Underwood of Perris, California has been
recognized as a Professional of the Year for 2017 by Strathmore's Who's Who Worldwide for his
outstanding contributions and achievements in the field of photography.
Photography has always been something that James was interested in learning. He started out in high
school using the school's Pentax camera. He took photos at sporting events, around campus and he was
hooked. He began using his mother's Minolta and took photos for the school newspaper and the year
books. By the time he was 18 and owned his first camera, James, also known as Chris, never passed up an
opportunity to shoot a scene. He even had several of his photos published in the local newspaper, The
Perris Progress. During college, he was asked by a friend how much he would charge to take photos at a
wedding. Stunned that he might actually be able to make money at what he loved, James sat down with
his friend and came up with a price they both could live with. This was his beginning as a paid
photographer. He continues to charge reasonable prices for his work and is willing to work with people
on what they want in a photo. James takes every opportunity to photograph things that catch his attention
and sells some of his work on his website.
Born on September 6th, James studied 35 mm photography and also broadened his palate by adding the
medium format Photography 4X5, obtaining a Certificate in Photography from Riverside Community
College in 1994. In his spare time he enjoys graphic art, Indy music and spending time with friends. He
has two dogs, Zelda the Grand and Scratches the Ragged.
