James Sutton (born 1986 in United Kingdom), known as Jam Sutton, is an English artist, photographer and music video director. Inspired by pop culture, art and music, his work is a collision of colour, culture and surrealism.

Career

Sutton is from a new generation of creatives that breaks away from the strict boundaries of traditional photography, and creating his own recognisable style spanning various media, and using cutting edge techniques through photography and video, from real photography to retouching and post-production techniques.[1] He has gained attention from, and collaborated with, a wide variety of UK and international clients, including will.i.am, Natalia Kills, Steve Aoki, Keri Hilson, Space Cowboy, Master Shortie, Ministry of Sound, The Fratellis, Pharell William's band N*E*R*D and labels Cherrytree Records (Interscope/Universal), Sony Music.

Jam's award-winning work has been published and displayed throughout the world in exhibitions, magazines, album artwork, television broadcasts and blogs (Hypebeast / Kanye West / Flylyf / Grafik Mag). He has also taken part in solo and group photography shows in the UK, Italy and Spain.

This Is Not Clothing

Jam Sutton is the founder and main designer for a line of clothing ranging from surrealism to pop art. The line is a juxtaposition of contemporary culture and fine art, showcasing people and icons in a similar way to the religious iconography of the Italian Renaissance. WUW magazine said: "James has worked on a streetwear clothing line which is already creating a buzz behind the scenes".
