The inventive Jodie James joins Film Construction’s Stills Roster

AUCKLAND, Today: Film Construction is on a roll, adding more photographic power to its blossoming stills roster with the talents of Jodie James.

Exec producer Belinda Bradley said: “Jodie is a perfect fit for our stable of photographers. Her unique point of view is transformative. She makes the ordinary extraordinary by finding beauty in everyday scenes and people.

“Her work also exudes intentional undertones that lend immediacy and gravitas to her imagery. She knows just when to apply visual acceleration as she’s rounding a corner, she’s a bit of a chameleon tonally, and that’s pretty handy.

“With a background in marketing gained from working in the USA, UK, Ireland and Switzerland, Jodie has a secret weapon, a deep understanding of concepts and the power of ideas.

“Jodie knows how to take a brief and infuse it with unexpected elements that leave a lasting impression.”

“I try to empower viewers with the opportunity to embark on a visual treasure hunt, weaving their own threads of meaning while finding resonance within the existing narrative.”

Jodie James said: “My goal is for a hidden narrative to be discovered beyond the initial visual impact in my work.

“I try to empower viewers with the opportunity to embark on a visual treasure hunt, weaving their own threads of meaning while finding resonance within the existing narrative.
