Jim Britt’s early career was spent singing in jazz clubs across the United States. It was here that he first developed an interest in photography. He soon found himself setting up a portable darkroom in motel rooms.

In 1969, with many jazz clubs struggling, he retired from his singing career to concentrate full-time on his new passion for photography. He began photographing and designing album covers for Motown's top artists.

In the 1980s Jim began to work as a highly in-demand editorial and commercial photographer, moving away from music, aside from the occasional concert.

Jim's work is represented at Rock Paper Photo where it sells as fine art. He's also in the permanent collection in the Smithsonian Portrait Gallery and their book “American Cool,” from the exhibit in 2014.
