Adventure photographer & filmmaker

James Murray

The most beautiful places on Earth, and the rarest views.

Hey, I'm James

I go looking for the views most people never see.

The last stretch of a climb. The light's going gold. One more step and the whole place opens up.

That's the moment I'm chasing.

I'm an adventure photographer and filmmaker from the USA, and I travel full time. From the dunes of Namibia to the Monastery at Petra, I look for the viewpoint hidden inside each place.

I film mostly in POV, so you're standing right there with me. Cowboy hat, old clothes, always heading somewhere new.

How I film

You’re not just watching, you’re there with me.

Filmed in POV.

The camera sees what I see: the step, the turn, the view as it opens.

Told as a story.

Each film follows the moment, from the first step to the view, so it holds together from the first frame to the last.

Real places, real light.

I film on location, in whatever weather and light the day brings.
