// About James Quest

Creative Art.

While on the production crew of a music television show, James got into pictures out of pure curiosity. Before he knew it, he loved photography and was getting paid for it. In a relatively short amount of time, James Quest has earned the trust and respect of top brands, creative agencies and photographers alike.

Anything worth being done is worth doing with passion. James Quest’s work is all over the African continent, and around the World. His work with cameras has allowed him the honor to work with many clients the world over, from East Africa to Congo, South Africa, the Middle East, the Americas, Canada, and New Zealand, just to name a few.

Social Change.

Born and brought up in the dry and dusty Horn of Africa to missionary parents, James Quest firsthand understands impact. Personal projects with impact are very important to him – constantly finding, developing and working on creative ways to use his camera to make an impact. James works with non-profit organizations throughout Africa to photograph and bring awareness to the needs of the African people.

Cinema & Film.

Moving forward, James would like to focus more and more on telling stories, not only with photographs, but with films as well. Having completed production of a short film ‘NASIBU’, commercial spots, music shorts and humanitarian docu’s, picture-in-motion is the new exciting frontier.
