Torrenzano’s photography has been influenced by his personal journey to “seek” the light. “What is Essential is Invisible to the Eye,” a valedictorian speech that continues to shape James’ photo journey of over 50 years. It is here, inside the invisible, that I shape the light to meet the edge of form and create a symphony for the viewer.“Each person or place I photograph, I envision how light interacts with the form. What light will show the spirit of the image; how color shapes emotion and how the negative space plays with movement. Each of these form an interplay that creates the essence of an image for the viewer to be swept away by the possibilities. James Torrenzano is an art therapist who worked 31 years in the Fairfax County School System in Virginia, a former faculty member for over eighteen years at Marymount University who taught art therapy and psychology classes. Mr Torrenzano lectured around the country on "The Healing Power of Art".
