ABOUT CAVE1 PHOTOGRAPHY

  What started out as a little bit of fun turned into a long term hobby that inevitably became my passion. Hello, I’m James Cobb of Cave1 Photography and here is my story. From the moment I first picked up a camera, I remember feeling a sense of joy as I took my first pictures of nature and wildlife, it felt so amazing to capture all these creatures big and small going about their day and in some cases literally trying to survive. Now, taking pictures of nature tends to be a one way street, the subjects rarely know you even exist, and so there isn’t really a “connection” in between you and them.

That all changed when I started to take pictures of people because I began to see that same happiness in them that was in me. Now I could capture their ups, their downs, that sweet victory dance of a game just won or the sad tears one just lost. I got the guitar player on stage jamming out, the singer hitting that crazy note where they look like they’re gonna drop, the drummer carrying that rhythm, or the bassist layin’ down a funky groove. From the crowds cheering to the single person being in the zone, I see it all around me and capture every moment I possibly can. Not only am I able to showcase all those beautiful and raw emotions, I am also lucky enough to interact with so many people along the way.

Photography has always been a way for me to capture the beauty of the world around us or those moments in people’s lives that they want to remember and I have loved every minute of that journey that continues to this day.
