Artist Statement

A graduate of Brooks Institute of Photography and a native Coloradoan, Jim Digby has worked in still and motion picture photography since the late 1950s.

His images have appeared on television and in magazines (including Life, National Geographic, and Outdoor), trade journals and annual reports. These photographs ranged from coyotes to rockets as he executed assignments for the National Science Foundation, Martin-Marietta Corp., Sundstrand Aviation, The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, and many others. His work has been exhibited in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia.

An award winning photographer who is retired from Kodak, Jim now specializes in Fine Art Photography, photography of fine art objects and product photography.
Jim uses a technique he calls “Optical Extraction” to capture fragments of beauty to create purely visual experiences.

As a Fine Art Photographer he uses a technique he calls “Optical Extraction” to capture details of natural and man made beauty.

Regarding his fine art photography he comments:

“My urge to photograph is driven by a desire to live in
harmony and, perhaps, to share a little of the beauty
that surrounds us.

My images are the result of the sheer delight I find in
purely visual experiences. My hope is that they will
stop you long enough for something special to occur.
Perhaps a moment of peace, or the warmth of a
memory rekindled.”

Jim and his wife Nancy enjoy life in Larimer County, Co. with their two horses, a Bloodhound and a cat.

His work may be seen in the
Lincoln Gallery, 429 No. Lincoln, Loveland, Co

4% of the profits from my work goes to support Human Animal Bond (Colorado).
