Reviews:
"We asked for a presentation and received a unique performance. Jimmy is simply full of energy that has silenced all 900 marketers and advertisers. The story is so unique and original that it captivates everyone from the first to the last moment. was the highlight of our evening. Although he is an internationally renowned photographer and speaker, he remains modest, accessible and relativistic about his own performance and therefore such a nice person.
