James Price is The Groovy Creative...  
With nearly two decades behind the lens, James has dedicated his career to capturing the world through photography, storytelling, and artistic exploration. His passion for creativity led him to study the art of creativity itself, and in May 2025, he will complete a Diploma in Art & Creativity (Advanced) Level 7. James' journey has been one of constant growth, embracing new perspectives, challenging conventions, and seeking out the stories that deserve to be told.
A major influence on his creative philosophy came from his study and work in Early Childhood Education (ECE) in Australia. Teaching creativity to three- and four-year-olds was an extraordinary experience, one that shaped the way he views art, imagination, and the creative process itself. Young children create without hesitation, explore without fear, and embrace curiosity as a way of life. That uninhibited, playful approach to creativity deeply impacted his work and continues to inspire how he thinks about artistic expression today.
Throughout James' career, he has explored photography’s power to document reality, evoke emotion, and inspire change. From his background in social services and education to his deep fascination with documentary photography, James has always been driven by a desire to make meaningful connections through visual storytelling.
Now, he is expanding his creative horizons with The Groovy Creative Podcast, a platform designed to fuel creativity, one conversation at a time. Through insightful interviews with artists, designers, and creative minds, James explores the passion, work, and soul behind artistic expression. Whether you’re an emerging artist, a seasoned professional, or a creative hobbyist, his mission is to inspire, educate, and entertain, one episode at a time.
With The Groovy Creative Podcast, James aims to create a space where creativity thrives, ideas flourish, and stories spark new perspectives. Expect engaging discussions, thought-provoking insights, and an ever-growing community of creatives who believe in the power of art and innovation.
Let’s get groovy!
