James Kazan Photography

Good start to your portfolio. I especially like the way you use PS - it's careful and augments the qualities the photograph already has. I hope to see more.

This is the sort of stuff that I like, esp geometry. Great.

Really enjoyed looking at your photos. Extreme examples of "discord" in your Architectural photos, great composition, colors, and strong lines. You have a great portfolio!

Thanks for sharing your wonderful pictures!

Well done, I love your architecture folder, the work of Frank Gehry and your ways of catching his work is very nice. I envy to see this building in real. I feel this is how architecture should be today. The reflecting blues and sky with the orange bricks contrasting are just wonderful. Keep-up the good work.

Great forms and color. Bravo!

Sometimes it only takes a comment to view uniqueness. You have some of the most powerful architecture images I've seen. Your years of experimenting as truly paid off. Bold, bright and very detail texture you bring to your art. Thank you for your recent comments on one of images. I enjoy simple subject and making them unique. At less in my eyes.

Great portfolio James. Especially the architecture folder is fantastic !!

that is, i think, your strength. works great both for architecture and flora. it was a pleasure viewing your protfolio. thanks for your kind comment on my collection.

Dear James, I am so amazed with all those different angles, textures of the Frank Gehry's Peter B Lewis Building Portofolio. Brillant. bravo! And I love your Architecture and Landscapes too! Very unique concept/composition and realisation!

Love your work! All my best, Biliana

Architecture folder is phenomenal. I've seen a lot of Gehry's work, but I don't think I've seen it this good. Must visit Millenium Park in Chicago to see the stage he designed.

your work is allways great and positive inspiration for me ! thank you ! my best regards !

Want to learn about shooting architecture? Look no further! The Frank Gehry folder is truly exceptional, and that is not because of the crazy building but because of the outstanding interpretation of this masterpiece through colors, linework, and framing. By the way, the rest of the portfolio is equally outstanding. A true source of inspiration. Best regards James!

Your portfolio is beautiful, James. I haven't seen architecture shots like that in a long time, they've blown me away!

I think I've learnt something here. Your work is realy fantastic, love all of it. The "crazy building" is stunning!!! Cheers, Peter

Stunning, creative and diverse! Loved visiting. I'll be back! :o)

Jack

Jim- truly an amazing portfolio. I could spend hours in here! I'll be back, frequently!

After looking through your amazing, stunning Lewis building photos and commenting on a few, I've got only one question: Has Gehry seen these? If not, he should.

Jayme
I want to thank you for all those wonderful comments. I really enjoyed reading them. Comments are so much better than ratings. Where in Ohio did you grow up in? and where are you living these days?

Jim

Chris
I really appreciate your in depth comments. You have a great way with the written word. Oh! I could only wish that Mr Gehry would see these. I day dream that he would see them and then fly me out to all his buildings all over the world to shoot them. Well one can dream can't they :-)

Jim

Jim- We both grew up in Urbana, small town about 40 miles east of Dayton & 45 miles west of Columbus. At the present, we live in Bardstown, KY (My Old KY Home) about 35 miles south of Louisville. 250 miles south makes a huge diference in climate & culture. It has been a very life broadening experience. :)

Fantastic photos, and that building could be the coolest ever. Great captures.

I'll be sure to come back by, cg

Your photo are very interesting and original. I very much love these photos

Your experience shows. Marvelous colors, shapes, and angles. Definately worth looking at. John

wonderful portfolio keep up the great work.

James, you are a wonderful photographer, this is one of the greatest portfolios ever seen!

Very very interesting and impressive portfolio. Wonderful images.Congrats. Best regards.

thanks for comment on my pipe alphabet. It is an honour to recieve compliments from you. I have visited your portfolio before and...35 is 35!

I have added to my 'computer's' 'Favorite's' Folder your 'Crazy Building' photos, color and B&W, so I can turn to them anytime -- any time I feel that I feel that I am a photographer, I can just click on your images and set my head straight and pay obeisance to real photographic skill. (and when will yours be featured folder -- or has it already and I missed it?)

Any one of your 'crazy building' photos easily could be Photo of the Week [POW].

Respectfully,

John (Crosley)

The folders with architecture are very beautiful. Could be hanged in a gallery any time. Love them. Congratulations.

Hi James. Thank you for looking at my work and also mentioning those involved in the Tenafly exhibit. I have recently been taking more architecture shots and your work in this field caught my eye. By the way your submitted photos at Tenafly are outstanding. I should also mention this on my webspace to support everyone.

James, belive me your work is just an eye opener, amazing!!!!

Your portfolio is outstanding. I especially like your architectural shots, and your flowers are enchanting. Your lighting and compositions are truly inspiring.

I will look forward to seeing more of your fine work in the future.

Kathy

A beautyful portfolio with a lot of great capture! Keep them coming!

Jim, great work. I'm especially impressed by your Gehry photos. I have taken several Gehry shots myself in Millennium Park in Chicago, but I have a lot to learn from you. Thanks for posting your photos. Doug Oldham, DMO Galleries

Your work is realy fantastic!!! Cheers,

Excellent pieces of work over here! Especially those with the building, I also like the flowers a lot. Congratulations!

Excellent portfolio, friend James .. Very beautiful architecture and landscapes ... Love all of them ..

I hope I'm half as good after 35 years. (I've got a long way to go, I've been shooting for less than a year... lol.) Most of your images are absolutely stunning.

James, thank for viewing one of my abstract images. You have a unique and outstanding portfolio. I specially like the architectural folders..and the Gehry buildings. I believe Gehry designed the Disney Concert Hall in L.A. Come and shoot a few images and share with us too. Excellent work.. Regards.

Nice photos, James. Especially interesting are those architecture photos. They are beautiful, though there are so many of them that I found it almost overwhelming. Cheers, Micheal

What an amazing portfolio ! You are very talented ! Great colors, angles, lights; you'Ve got THE eye!!!!! Congratz Sir ! Cheerz:)

You are a very good photographer James - and you do have your own style ! - Regards ..Markos .

Some fantastic architectural shots James. Genuinely inspiring, and you obviously have an eye for capturing the blend of man-made and natural influences in a scene too. Great stuff.

John.

Very nice work, being from the same area many of the locations are familiar to me, we are truly blessed to have access to such nice areas. I only wish my work was close to yours in quality.

great portfolio!very interesting!

An amazing portfolio James; I'm particularly amazed of your pictures on Ghery's work, the colors, textures and compositions you've showed us here are very enticing. Thank you for sharing your view of the world with us.

Thought of you when I found this....can't imagine why ;)

James, your portfolio is simply AWESOME! So glad your posting on the No Words Forum led me to it today. I will come back again soon to check on your new work. Regards, Barb :)

hey Jim, striking portfolio...great 'mushroom' photo in no words forum

Your work is totally stunning, great shots of buildings (can't spell architecture) but your woodland landscapes are even better especially the waterfall. Regards from Scotland

Hi James: Your "Planes" post on the No Words forum led me here and I'm so glad. Amazing portfolio. I went to the Tenafly link you provided but couldn't find you. Help! Cheers from Florida -

Alberta

You can find my work on the Tenafly Gallery site by clicking the link "Artists" from their home page. You will also find a few other Photo.net members listed there.

Thanks

Jim...I enjoy your contributions to the " No Words " forum...Mike

The daylilies you posted in 'No Words' are amazing -- three dimensional and so vivid. All your work here is unique and done with great care. Very admirable. Respectfully. AH

I very much enjoyed looking through your entire portfolio this evening. I initially thought the photos of Frank Gehry's Peter B Lewis Building were my favorites but now I can no longer choose a favorite. They are all truly spectacular! I am very impressed by your work. Happy New Year.

James, your portfolio is amazingly splendid! You really manage different photo topics with high standar quality. What I liked the most is the Peter B Lewis bldg. serries, actually I would like to ask how do you get such atmosphere in every picture.

portfolio. The architecture series are just wonderful!

A superb set of images, an inspiration to us all, regards from Scotland

James, I love your contributions in the "no words" forum as well as your portfolio, especially the perfectly composed architectural shots. I enjoy interesting architecture photography very much, because I'm a big fan of structures and geometrical forms combined with colors or a pleasant contrast in bw-shots.
although I gave it a try, my shots will never even get close to what you show us here, congrats!

keep on the great work, greets, patrick

Great work.

You have a talent for many things, your portfolio shows that. Impressive work!

HOLY SHIT PORTOFOLIO!

Your black and white architecture images are very impressive

James, your portfolio is stunning. Everything from your "Doors of the Dead" series to your landscapes and florals is truly amazing. I don't think there's a single image I don't like here!! Cheers, Nancy

Yor portfolio is amazing, but I loved the shots of the mausoleum doors. Are really cool!

Took a tour through your port after seeing your photo in the critique forum. I have to say I really enjoyed it, many wonderful shots, especially your architectural folders, take care!

You have a diversified portfolio with nice shoots and great colours, congratulations ! Most I like the architecture photos...a nice perspective!

A coherent portfolio showing expertise and attention to detail in every single image. Also, a lot of patience... I did enjoy watching these. Regards,

amazing portfolio!!!

James I have not been here before but I concur with many other comments when I tell you that your portfolio is amazing and full of very very good shots. In my eyes, however your real force is your eye for composition and it works best in your B/W photos. Some true pearls among your architectural scenes like the three you have put on your "home-page" here on PN. I'm very happy to have discovered your portfolio. Much to be learned from it.

Dear James, You have some excellent Architecture shots....your composition and colour sense is really great....very inspiring........Anil

really nice works ...thanks for giving my eyes and soul pleasure.

These types of portfolio makes me sick! I become hopeless. I'm never gonna have something like this! I'm jealous. Yes really jealous! If I quit photographing one day, seeing such portfolio will be the reason for that!!! Take this joke a part, I should study more to be like you.. Great photography techniques! Congratulations...

Amazing! From now you are one of my favorites. Regards, Nebojsa.

very impressive photos. i like especially your building-abstracts and macros. congrats! zsolt

Sumptuous lines. This is all very well seen. Congats on a great portfolio. Regards, Marc

A very intelligent and tasteful view of buildings and the great outdoors, james. Draws the eye to slow down and look for symmetry in simple shapes. I like the shot you posted on No Words Forum re: quiet water and woods. A beautiful composition indeed. You have the gift.

Your Gehry series shootings are incredible. The silk-like metal skin is so charming. The comparation between several materials and the blue sky is really romantic. I love it. BTW, thank you for your words on my page. Best regards, Ruogu

The architecture photos are just great! Lovely lines and geometry.

You have a wonderful body of work, a clear eye for architecture, for finding it's lines and composing great shots! The black and whites really caught my eye, they look so liquid. Beautifully done!

HI, you have very nice portfolio, i like most of your abstract and architechture ones.Thanks for sharing!

Hi Jim, what a fantastic portfolio you've built up here! Full of consistently high quality and colourful images. Your work perfectly reflects everything I like in a photo ~ vibrant colour, careful composition, and bags of interest. Congratulations, my friend, on a first class body of work. My compliments and best regards, Chris

I am very glad that find your portfolio.
Indeed you have a very divers collection. I liked most of your images specially the images of New Work, Frank Gehry's Peter B Lewis Building sections. I like your photography eye for catching forms and composition.
Good luck with your future works.

A hard work made a very nice portfolio and great colors, congratulations ! Roxana.

I like your images. They are unique, interesting and well conceived. The perspectives are great, the lines are clean and the focal points are incredibly effective. Very well done portfolio. rek.

Just AMASING. Bravo

OMG ...I;m so impressed .... beautiful work!!!

Slavica

Nothing worse that gushing fans....so I'll just say a couple of words....HOLY COW!! And OK, one more....AMAZING! I love your geometric abstracts. That's it's I'm gone...:)

Wow! Exceptionnal architecture pics :) Thanks for sharing.

Hello James, I just noticed your work and the architectural photos are what I like best in your gallery. Thx for sharing your beautiful art. Greets.

Hello James, congrats for your excellent and outstanding portfolio. I like very much your pictures. Even if I haven't published on the web any landscapes and architectural shots, I like shooting that kind of pictures.

As regards my picture "Stop Motion" I confirm you that it is definitely and completely mine. My inspiration came from viewing a famous picture of a bullet frozen in the air after having hit an apple.

Ciao from Italy

your photos are absolutely amazing, you have an excellent eye for lines and space and frame. i hope some day my flower pictures are equivalent to the beauty of yours. you should come to seattle sometime and photograph the E.M.P., it seems like you enjoy that kind of architecture.

Beautiful Gallery ! Very Artistic and Professional !

James, I received your email this morning commenting on my Bass Hall Angel image. Thank you for the nice comments. Love your portfolio; you have some spectacular images.

Just stumbled onto your portfolio and enjoyed it very much. You have a wonderful sense for composition and your photos are clean and crisp. I enjoyed viewing them very much. Thanks for sharing.

WOW!

Amazing portfolio. Very inspirational.... Love the art gallery ones!

Hi James! Your architectural shots are absolutely inspirational! Best wishes!

Your architecture portfolio is a grabber, but the real jewel in your offerings, in my opinion, are the shots from the Cleveland Museum of Art, 1916 wing. Dead of Winter is an equally creative approach. If you're in Cleveland, hike over to the Chautauqua Institution in New York and enjoy a Victorian's paradise.

Thank you for a kind comment. 　Hereafter, I will up-load a better photograph by your comment.

My best regards.

A beautyful portfolio with a lot of great images! Keep them coming

Nice ...very nice ......Cheers Dolf
