Jim Landers (get a private, one-on-one session with Jim)

Jim is a native of San Antonio. (Paternal Grandparents moved here in 1940) He grew up in the Northside school district and was in the first graduating class at Taft High School in 1987.

Jim wanted to be a photographer since he was 6 years old. He photographed his first wedding the summer of 1983 -before starting high school. After his freshman year at UTSA, Jim transferred to Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, TX to study photography and received his Bachelor of Science in Photography. (Note: Jim is one of very few photographers in San Antonio has earned a college degree in photography.) Within a month of graduating, in May of 1991, Jim was working as the photography manager at Sea World of Texas. During the school year, when the park was closed, he was a substitute teacher in the Northside School District.

Jim married his wife Robin in the Summer of 1994 and they have two college-aged boys. Robin is active and plays a very important part of the business, keeping the wheels spinning behind the scenes.

Since 1995, Jim has been a full-time professional photographer who has been published in many magazines, in locations as far away as Australia. Even Kodak has specifically requested 10 of his images (in June of 1999) for their trade publication in England to advertise their new professional films (Portra).

"Over the years I used to wonder what it would be like if I had a 9-5 job with benefits, you know, a regular paycheck, so that I could make a budget and plan everything knowing what would be coming in. But then I always come back to; If I work smarter, if I make those ideas that I have become reality, then I have more potential than anyone with a 9-5."   --Jim

He loves teaching enthusiastic people what he has gained over a 30+ year career. Jim also mentors high school students who are considering a career in the field. He has had many professional photographers, and even four other photography teachers from other schools take his class. He has over 8000 hours of photography teaching experience.

Jim enjoys photographing people from business and social events to individual and family portraits and Weddings. He draws his inspiration to do a portrait by talking to the person or people whom he is photographing, getting to know them and what they want, not only for the photographs, but in life. This allows him to find out what is important to them, whether it be kids, school, etc.
