About James Cowlin Photographs

I am a freelance photographer based in Oracle, Arizona, specializing in nature, travel and fine art. For over thirty years I have been documenting the landscape of the western United States and have built a collection of images that range from broad panoramic views to intimate close-ups.

My photographs can be licensed for use in travel and nature magazines, websites and promotional materials. I provide detailed captions facilitating their use in science textbooks. If you are looking for a specific subject that is not in my galleries on this website, contact me by email or phone. I will research my files and respond within a day.

I specialize in the production of fine art prints for use in corporate offices, hotels and healthcare facilities. Using high resolution scans of film-based images or digital captures, I make beautifully detailed, archival prints in almost any size you can imagine. I offer trade pricing to art consultants and interior designers. Contact me for details.

My current work-in-progress is documenting US Route 89 between Canada and Mexico. By concentrating on highway 89, I am able to shoot in twenty national parks and monuments and document the landscape of the West from the Rocky Mountains, across the Colorado Plateau and into the arid mountains and valleys of the southwestern desert. My photographs range from the tourist meccas of Yellowstone and Grand Canyon to less well-known attractions such as the Logan Canyon National Scenic Byway. The photographs from the US Route 89 Project form a dynamic portrait of this vital and fast-growing region. For a comprehensive view of the road, visit the US Route 89 website.
