About
Others Photography was founded by James Anargirou (pictured) as a way to share his passion for photography with others.
Others Photography was created with the goal of capturing life’s most beautiful moments. To that end, we focus on event photography so that we may share the fleeting moments which could otherwise go unnoticed.
The name of Others Photography was inspired by the metal song, “We Are The Others” which describes certain people whom are “cast-outs” or “outsiders” but declares that they are not actually alone like they thought, because they all have each other and are collectively “the others”. This relates to our photography in that we strive to find the beauty in places others may have already dismissed. We strive to find the beauty in that which has been out-cast or ignored. We strive to find the beauty in the little mundane things that are often taken for granted. We strive to find beauty… everywhere.
Origins
In October 2017, James was challenged by his brother to a lighthearted social media photography competition. Prior to this, James had no meaningful photography experience, but he soon found the act of taking photos and looking for compositions to be immensely enjoyable. By the month’s end, James purchased his first camera and he quickly realized he could combine his love of photography with his love of live music and began photographing local concerts.
Starting out small, James soon found himself invited to photograph increasingly larger shows, music festivals, and even began travelling extensively for his photography. Over the years, James has proved himself as one of Southern California’s premier live music photographers.
