James Elliot Bailey is a Los Angeles based photographer who is super good at what he does. He’s a relatively new Angeleno and has seemed to embrace the city with wide open arms since moving here nearly a year ago. He does a lot of editorial portraits for brands like Paste and NPR but, like all photographers, he is passionate about sharing his more personal work.

Thus, after much delay, let’s explore the world of Sorry Danny,.

Since it was announced a few months ago, everyone has been so super giddy about Paris Photo Los Angeles. We matched the giddiness in ignorance because we didn’t have any idea what Paris Photo is but we knew it looked cool and sounded cool so we had to get stoked for it, too. What is it? It is a very prestigious photo-only art fair that has finally hopped across the Atlantic to have a showing in Los Angeles–and on the Paramount Lot at that.
Art people in LA have been absolutely abuzz around PP, anticipating that they were going to have some sort of artistic climax on the same grounds where television actors have walked for decades. Well, what is Paris Photo? Why should we be excited about this? Who is this intended for? Well, let us explain: it is a very high end art fair that is intended to engage people who have a lot of money to burn on art and art things.
