Geoffrey James (1942, St. Asaph, Wales ) is a Canadian photographer, living in Toronto. His black-and-white panoramic landscapes of the built landscape explore the relationship between human society and its surroundings. == Life and Work == James began his working career as a journalist. He moved to Canada in 1966, working for Time magazine in Montreal. He moved into arts administration in 1975, working for the Canada Council in Ottawa. In the mid 1970s, he began to take photography more seriously and by 1982, when he left the Canada Council, he was exhibiting his photography regularly.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://cppsonline.com/portfolios/geoffrey-james/bio.php )〕 James works in series and much of his photography is available as books. * La Campagna Romana, 1991 * The Italian Garden, 1991 * Viewing Olmsted: Photographs by Robert Burley, Lee Friedlander, and Geoffrey James, 1997 * Geoffrey James: Running Fence, 1999 * Paris: Photographs by Geoffrey James, 2001 * Geoffrey James; Parks and Walkways of Oshawa, 2001 * Place, 2002 * Geoffrey James: Past/Present/Future, 2003 * Une Mort Très Digne: L'Histoire Du Cimetière Mont-Royal, 2003 * Toronto, 2006 * Utopia Dystopia, 2008 * Geoffrey James: Field Notes, 2008 A retrospective of his work, ''Utopia/Dystopia: The Photographs of Geoffrey James'' was mounted by the National Gallery of Canada in 2008.
