Stupid Questions with Seth Hill

#159 - James Mitchell, Pro Photographer, Doc Film Producer


Listen Later

Going deep with world-renowned triathlon photographer and filmmaker James Mitchell—the creative force behind Ironman’s Fighting Chance series and countless iconic endurance sport images.


From a rocky school experience and early life rebellion to discovering purpose behind the camera, James shares his journey of self-discovery, storytelling, and relentless pursuit of craft. We dive into his unconventional start in real estate photography, the lonely hustle of building a name, and how he’s traded weddings for world championships and motorbikes for mobility on course.


James opens up about family, fatherhood, burnout, and the emotional threads behind his art. This is an honest and revealing look at what it takes to survive as a creative freelancer in sport—and what still keeps him up at night (spoiler: it’s accounting).
