About Shiang Studios
In high school, James loved watching Peter McKinnon, a Toronto-based photographer and filmmaker, who posted photography tips and tricks to his YouTube channel. His videos inspired James to dive into the art of photography and start capturing and telling stories like his. From the moment his first camera arrived in the mail, he knew telling stories with his camera was what he wanted to do. James started in the wedding industry as a photographer, but soon discovered a love for videography. The music, foley, and sound effects enhanced the films he watched, and he immediately knew he wanted to be a videographer.
