Making seeing real

James Rae, photographer and actor, Montreal. Signed, limited-edition

archival photographs, from the first roll in 1970 to this year.

From Lost in the No-Zone, James' film

made entirely from still photographs

“Manipulation is not my thing either; the sky that was is the sky I offer.”

Moment by moment

In the early years I used a Nikon F, then adopted a Leica M4, mostly with a 35mm lens to best approximate my field of vision. My analogue photographs are now scanned and printed digitally. Today I use a mirrorless Z6 III, often with handheld flash, as I learned to explore with my Leica.

Every photograph here is available as a signed, numbered print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag Baryta, and can also be licensed for publication.

“I embrace and render what is offered, open to an ever-changing world.” Eleven bodies of work, each a room of its own. Open one and walk through every photograph in it.
