James Hays

Name: James Hays
Studio Name: Enchanted Images
Country: USA Roseville, CA

Brief Bio: My wife Stefani and I have a portrait photography studio in Roseville, CA. If I had to describe my style in one word it would be romantic. I don’t shoot with the rules in mind but try to just stick to what is lovely to me. If I can stay just outside of reality with my images then they are a success. Passion first, vision second, and the rest you can pick up on the way.

Phottix Gear Used:
Odin system (Canon) with 2 receivers

James says: The Odin system has really liberated the way I use speedlights on location. The ease of use and reliability has made them my go-to triggers.
