James Michael LeBlanc

After establishing himself in Shreveport, Louisiana, James quickly built a reputation for fashion-forward, moody, and polished photography, often layered with an unmistakable artistic and creative flair. His passion for storytelling led him to expand beyond the lens in 2019, founding The Creative Magazine—a high-end publication that celebrated local creatives through striking photographic design and in-depth journalism.

Through The Creative Magazine, James launched three major biennial events, The Creative Ball, showcasing artists, live performances, and entertainment from talents featured within its pages. The Creative Ball also served as a charitable extension of J Michael Photography Co., donating a portion of its proceeds to support local causes.

After bringing The Creative Magazine to a close in 2025, James shifted focus to further brand his namesake, evolving into a multidimensional content creator, writer, visual artist, and blogger. In the summer of 2025, he launched The J Michael Experience—an intimate space where followers can journey with him through his travels, reflections, culinary explorations, creative projects, and personal insights.
