William James (1866, Walsall Spojené království – 1948, Kanada) byl plodný kanadský fotograf anglického původu. Jeho dílo má široký záběr, je známý především svými fotografiemi architektury, reportážemi a portréty z Toronta v Ontariu. Jeho práce byly často sbírány a publikovány.[1][2][3]
Život a dílo
William James přišel do Kanady z Anglie v roce 1906 ve svých 40 letech. Od roku 1909 pracoval jako fotograf na volné noze a byl zakládajícím prezidentem Kanadské asociace fotografů.
Mike Filey, dlouhodobý autor tematických sloupečků o historii Toronta v magazínu Toronto Sun, označil Jamese za technického inovátora.[3] Instituce City of Toronto Archives opatruje sbírku více než 6 000 Jamesových fotografií.[3]
