Bio

James Wimberg (https://www.jameswimberg.com) was born and raised in Connecticut and graduated with a BFA in Printmaking from the University of Connecticut. His interest in photography began during high school with “photo safaris” around his hometown of Old Lyme. Taking pictures of collapsing barns, landscapes and interesting things in nature helped him develop his eye for light and composition. After graduation Jim moved to Los Angeles to pursue commercial photography.

In 1986 Jim Wimberg and local photographer Mark Mercier founded Mercier-Wimberg Photography. The two began a long and successful partnership photographing products and people for such clients as: adidas, Breville, Callaway Golf, Canon, DKNY, Epson, Hilton, Honda, Infiniti, Intel, Kenwood, Ketel One, Mattel, Mercedes, Merle Norman, Neutrogena, Nolets Spirits, Oracle, Peet’s Coffee, Qualcomm, Sanyo, simplehuman, Singapore Airlines, Sony, Sprint, Starbucks, Teleflora, and ViewSonic. Wanting to give back to the photographic community, Jim taught photography courses part-time at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco and at Santa Monica College.

Jim is a passionate photographer and visual storyteller working to create high-level content that conveys the stories of his client’s brands. What sets his work apart from others is his talent with lighting. Jim has an eye for composition and the ability to light a product, person, or scene to convey the appropriate mood with feeling and impact.

“I am an artist and an observer of light - I’ve studied it all my life. I especially enjoy the challenge of manipulating light to achieve the mood and visual impact necessary for a memorable shot.” – Jim Wimberg
