For a number of years, James has specialized in fine art photography,
using 19th century and early 20th century photographic techniques.
His varied interests in the arts included both photography and printmaking.
James was born in 1934 in Seneca Falls, New York. His love for photography
started in his early teenage years, and he was the photographer
for his high school newspaper. After studying at the Rochester Institute
of Technology in the early 1950's, Romeo worked as an assistant
to photographers in New York City. He then specialized in maritime
photography, traveling on cargo ships and tankers throughout the
world. His images have appeared in a wide assortment of maritime
books and publications, as well as in such periodicals and newspapers
as Fortune and The New York Times. Romeo began to study, and then
to practice, alternative printing processes-Platinum, palladium,
gum bichromate, and Kallitype-Vandyke. He also started working with
large format cameras including pinhole.
His work has been exhibited both in the USA and abroad, and his
photographs are in the holdings of private and public collections,
a number of his photographs are in the collection of the New York
Public Library. He has lectured on alternative printing processes
at the International Center of Photography and the United Nations
Photographic Society, and currently prints old negatives for the
New York Historical Society.
