We highly recommend Peter James Photography Gallery, which has a stunning collection of Nature Photography of Washington State. My wife and I recently selected two pieces for our home, and everything about the process was terrific. We used all of the services provided, which made everything feel more sure, and very enjoyable (Peter is a great guy, in addition to being a highly accomplished artist).(A) We sent photos of our rooms and received digital mock-ups of the initial images we were interested in, in different sizes. This made selection much easier, and made us more confident.(B) We visited the Gallery, and discussed with Peter our hopes and preferences, as well as the space the art would occupy. He was patient and understanding, and extremely helpful, as my wife and I sifted through our choices. He gave excellent gentle guidance on our options for sizes and images. Reassuringly during COVID19, the Gallery felt safe: we were masked, it’s a large high-ceilinged space, and there were just the 3 of us for about 30 minutes.(C) Peter customized one of the images we selected, to better work in the specific space it would occupy. (While we were hesitant about altering his beautiful art, he was completely supportive of adjusting the image to allow a better printing-size-ratio for the space.)(D) The in-Gallery ordering and payment steps were very easy. Peter kindly offered a much-appreciated discount on the second piece, too (thank you!).(E) Peter sent us mock-ups of how the final images we’d chosen would look in our home, on our walls – so zero ‘buyer’s-remorse’-worries, or second-guessing, with our choices.(F) In-home installation was perfectly performed by Peter himself just a couple of weeks after we ordered the art. This included mounting one piece on an irregular (not flat!) stone fireplace wall. Extremely well done.We are so pleased with everything! What an amazing way to bring the beauty of Nature into our home, for years to come.Truly the only challenging thing at all was to select ONLY two images from the amazing portfolio Peter has curated.Highly recommend!

We originally purchased two pieces from Peter after visiting his gallery in person, then bought a third piece to give as a gift. You should visit his gallery to view the photographs in person! Great works.During both our visits, he was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and shared with us many of the details of his excursions and the conditions and locations of his photoshoots. Very pleasurable conversations.We receive the photographs within the expected time frame promised, the pictures received are of excellent quality, and Peter even came over to our place to install them on the walls.We would absolutely purchase from him again.

As a photographer and visual artist, I have visited Peter’s gallery of metal prints a number of times. I have enjoyed conversations with him about his work and artistry, and found Peter to be quite serious and passionate about the subject matter he has creatively captured with a great deal of skill and mastery. The large format print we selected of a beautiful mountain scene will provide a daily dose of WOW! If you have not yet visited the Peter James Gallery in Fairhaven, just take the time to do it. My expectation is that your eyes will thank you.My wife has the following to share:In these disturbing and troubling times, I find art as particularly restorative, and Peters Mt. Rainier print, which he also professionally installed, a reminder of the beauty that continues to exist in spite of everything else.

Absolutely beautiful and peaceful addition to my living room. When I went to pick up my signed finished product, Peter graciously greeted me at the door, shared the story of where, when and what occurred when the picture was taken, and then helped me to my car. Excellent communication, excellent customer service, and amazing finished product. Highly recommend!

Peters work is wonderful and he and his wife Ima are gems to work with! My company purchased a couple of prints for my medical office and he donated another to complete the space. My patients love them, and it is a joy to be in the office with these beautiful Washington photographs. Thank you so much Peter and Ima!!!

Peter Jame’s work speaks for itself. His acute attention to quality and detail along with his years and years of experience through the ages of photography from the most mechanical forms to the most advanced digital gives him a depth and edge that is rare in contemporary photography. His photography communicates his personality- warm yet fresh. Upon walking into the brand new state of the art gallery, you are immediately bathed in breathtaking beauty to the credit of nature’s awesomeness and Peter’s unique ability to masterfully deliver and articulate this beauty through his photography and choice of contemporary mediums such as metal print and sheer size of presentation. There is a reason he has climbed to the top of his art form. If you are lucky enough to visit on a day his beautiful wife and daughter are running the gallery- it is obvious that he has had a very special supportive team by his side. Thanks for sharing your beautiful gift of photography and nature to our community Peter!

I own 4 Peter James prints. We built new modern home and that was one of the additions I wanted in my new home was beautiful art. We built our living room/fireplace around one of the larger prints. We get so many compliments from our guests on how perfect the print is above the fireplace, absolutely gorgeous. I have also purchased three other smaller prints and placed them in perfect areas in our home. I highly recommend if you are in the market for some beautiful art in your home to go to their gallery- you probably wont leave empty handed.

I purchased a print for my husband for our anniversary. Never having been to the gallery, I found Peter’s website and was immediately impressed. The photo print on metal that I purchased was a close-up of a fox. I that Peter captured the animal’s soul when he took the picture. It’s mesmerizing. He was bet personable and easy to work with over email. I would recommend his work to anyone who loves nature.

I am from Pennsylvania and stopped into Peters gallery while touring one day on vacation. While the website is very good, the art work is stunning in person. There are so many good pieces to choose from we had to stop a second time. We had a chance to talk to Peters wife the first day and then with Peter himself the second day. As an avid amateur photography Peter gave me the best times of the year to visit Olympia. We have since purchased a second piece. I highly recommend stopping at his gallery.

Visiting Peters gallery was a highlight of our stay in Bellingham. Housed in the unique Orca building in Fairhaven, Peter has set up a gorgeous space and even hung his art in the corridors around his gallery.Peters work is art. His highlights the natural beauty of Washington state, and each photograph is a painstaking effort. For example for one photo - Peter backpacked to a location, camped overnight, got up at the crack of dawn to get lighting just right and captured the mist over a lake with a mountain in the background. On our visit, Peter spent a lot of time with my family and I to explain his process and the stories behind prints we were interested in.Lastly, Peters work has a strong environmental message. Peter and family supports various organizations that are planting trees all over the world to help ours and future generations restore earths balance. Buying a print directly contributes to this effort.

I knew of the gallery for years but was absolutely shocked when I went for a small photo sit and discovered the amazing gallery display. Hey guys its a new world out there and these photos will brighten any room and show outdoor life in a different amazing way brought to life as never before. You really have to see the collection to appreciate this new method of photography.

Review №22

My dad took me here last summer and we still talk about the beautiful images we saw on a regular basis, I am a photography student, so when my dad heard about Peters work he knew he had to take me there to see it in person. We spent over an hour studying each image, talking about how we think he may have done it, as the beauty and mystique is alive and flowing in all of them. The woman working (may have been Peters partner?) was very kind and we talked to her about the work, cool hikes in the area, etc. We had a very warm and welcoming experience at Peters gallery and plan on visiting again as soon as things become more relaxed. Its a must visit!

Peter and his wife have always offered us a warm welcome whenever we visit the gallery. We purchased a print about a year ago and he still remembers our faces. The nature art is the best - a great way to celebrate this beautiful part of the country.

Review №24

This gallery is simply beautiful and a must see in Fairhaven. The photographs are stunning and professionally displayed so each can be appreciated individually and as a group. Peter and his wife are gracious, knowledgeable hosts.When I was ready to make a purchase Peter spent a significant amount of time patiently exploring the various sizing options with me to ensure that I made selections I would be happy with for years to come.The photo mock-up service is extremely valuable with the selection process as it allows you to see the picture in your space in advance of committing to a purchase.An extra service offered for a reasonable fee is the personal in home hanging service which I would highly recommend as well.From start to finish I would rate my experience as excellent!

Even visiting the Gallery is a great experience! From the wide, wooden staircase entry way, to two rooms of gorgeous photos overlooking the bay, to the hallway lined with Peters amazing work, which in itself is like a walk in the woods or a quest to the desert. Definitely worth a visit to this amazing exhibit.

Peter James photos are so beautiful! Our home lacks a sunset view and after placing an ocean sunset photo in our north facing room, I made the space feel so much brighter. We have received so many complements on our piece! We hope to afford more of his photography in the future.

I now have two small aluminum prints done by Peter, and absolutely adore them! Being able to have beautiful images that are completely protected, waterproof, and quite hard to damage, is a huge plus with kids! As a business, they support their community and have a gorgeous and welcoming studio. Highly recommend!

We just love Peters work! He really has an eye for capturing the essence of the phenomenal beauty of the Pacific Northwest, something I can deeply appreciate since we were drawn to move here to be immersed in that beauty. His art offers that to us as well. And visiting his beautiful gallery is such a treat! We were thrilled when it opened in Fairhaven where we live and enjoy popping in, not to mention all the fun events they host. It doesnt feel pretentious at all, either. He and his wife, Ima, are genuinely friendly and welcoming to their guests. Peter James is truly a local gem!

We have bought 5 of Peters metal prints and have them proudly displayed in our office. The comments from our clients, and the enjoyment we get from having such beautiful art adorning our walls, cannot be overstated. The images reflect our collective enjoyment and admiration for the Whatcom County and Pacific NW way of life. Peter is also an absolute joy to work with, and puts that extra touch on all our dealings. 5 Stars all around. We look forward to adding our 6th piece soon, Peter!

As Bellingham locals, my wife and I wanted a few prints of Washington to add to our home. Peter’s studio had so many great options we must have spend an hour trying to decide which to ultimately take home. We landed on Sol Duc Valley forest and Dot Island prints. Very happy with the quality of both!

I went to the Orca Recovery Ball last winter at Peter James Photography Gallery. It was an awesome experience. Not only were the photographs breathtaking and inspiring, but there was an auction where all proceeds went to Nooksack Salmon Enhancement Association as well as great music and refreshments. Peter James is a really talented and friendly person and I appreciate all he has done to give back to his community. It is very inspiring.

On a drive to Vancouver, BC from Seattle, I decided to walk around Bellingham, grab a bite, and see what that cute little town had to offer.

I highly recommend you stop in if youre in Bellingham!

Peter James gallery is gorgeous! Its the perfect large, bright open space that makes it easy to imagine these images on your own walls. His prints are amazing and really capture the essence of the PNW. The metal in particular makes an image glow with the magic of nature, whether its the foaming waves, funneling clouds, or intensity of a sunset. You can almost feel it! They are always friendly and welcoming. I really liked how the images started right at the entrance, and led you to the gallery. Its the perfect location, with a great view of Fairhaven and the Bay. Its hard to miss - just look for the Orca there on 12th Street and youre there. I always enjoy my time in the gallery and cant recommend Peters skills or his photos enough!

I live next to a wetlands, and wanted a big piece of art that reflected my love of nature to put over the fireplace. I found Peters work online, and fell in love with the Grandfather Cedar photo. Peter and his wife were so easy to work with. They communicate really well, the photo arrived beautifully crated up and in immaculate condition. The photo proved to be as easy to hang as they had promised.Because the photo has no frame, the effect on my wall is that of a great big window out of which we see the magnificent cedar. Beautiful.

I have admired Peters photography for as long as I have known him. When he started offering his Metal Prints I absolutely had to have one. If you have visited his website or his gallery on Holly Street you will know exactly what I mean. Its like being outside when you cant be. But how to choose? He made it easy - he can use Photoshop to place his photos into a picture of your wall, so that you can see exactly how it will look. Foggy Autumn Trail is now hanging in our office in a previously blank space. Its like looking out a window. Breathtaking. I get so many compliments. Lightweight and easy to hang and no framing expense - Ive spent almost as much on a frame as I have on one of Peters beautiful pieces. Next on my list is Bridal Veil Falls for my bedroom and then a forest sunbeams piece in a dark corner over the couch in my living room. Theres a size for every budget. A great gift for yourself or for someone special to you.

Peter James is a very talented photographer. The technical side of his Gallery has reproduced his photos into what I would call true art. The quality of the reproduction gives such clarity to the image that when combined with the subject matter of your choice, it will knock your socks off.I bought a very large piece, 54 inches by 40 inches, that I am completely satisfied with.On top of all of the critical acclaim I can give for his work and Gallery and staff, I would add that Peter James is also a very nice man and an honest business person.James Doran - Bellingham, WA

We have loved viewing Peter James metal prints and photographs over the yearsat his gallery in Fairhaven.Since we recently moved to a new home in Bellingham, we wanted to purchasePeter’s photographs of places loved and familiar to our family.We chose Twin Trees on Skyline Divide for our bedroom. As newlyweds, we had done this hike with my parents. We love the view of Mt. Baker in this photo and the little yellow glacier lilies.Ima James was really helpful sending on email various sizes of the metal prints over furniture, so we could select the best size for our bedroom.For my office space I chose Island Escape, Dot Island on Chuckanut Drive.This photograph always reminds me of my high school adventure by two sets of sisters in a row boat to the island one summer, and the beauty of our islands here.Peter personally installed both metal prints which was wonderful.Our friends and family are really impressed by his work, as are we.
