Tampa Photography Blog

Recently I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing James Bain, a sweet man with a huge heart.

Bain was released from prison in December after serving a prison term for raping a 9-year-old boy in Lake Wales in 1974. He has repeatedly asked for DNA testing over the years to prove his innocence. In July, a judge granted his request and he was exonerated of all charges.

I met Bain at his mother's home in Tampa for the photo session. The photos were published in a French newspaper called Le Journal du Dimache for Polaris Images. Reporter Karen Lajon meet me there to interview him about his unique story.

I've included some of the photos of Bain, even though only one was published. The home was very difficult to shoot in because his mother had quite a few collectibles in a small place! I did my best and I hope he enjoyed the photos.
