Jim has always loved art and his passion for photography runs long and deep, going all the way back to age 16 when his dad requested that he teach him how to use his new 35mm Ricoh. With his personal work, Jim likes to explore other subject matter including macro-botanicals, nudes, abstract water-forms and still life.
“I love studying how light behaves. I especially enjoy the challenge of manipulating light to achieve the mood and visual impact I’m looking for.” – Jim Wimberg
