About Me

/

"One of the most recognizable remnants of Adventures in Success is the street-style photography of James Norton. His black and white shots are candid and genuine, complementing the stark appearance of their promotional materials. It radiates a classic authenticity absent from so many trendy nightclubs. " - 944 Magazine, November 2007

"Now known as San Diego's premier nightlife photographer, James Norton carries the skills he acquired in his travels to some of the most progressive party locations from TJ to LA, capturing intimate, vivid portraits of the party scene and ultimately making a distinctive documentation of a modern cultural phenomenon." - Statt Magazine, July/August 2007

"Contrary to his relaxed vibe, Norton's photos are all about action. He captures the alternative nightlife scene with vibrant color and images that seem to have a 3-D pop." - 944 Magazine, May 2007
