Bachelor of Arts, Catawba College School of Performing Arts, NC
Video Production, New York University, NY
​
William became interested in photography at an early age when his grandfather gave him an old Polaroid Land Camera. It was a rather clunky device he carried everywhere, snapping instant photos of family, friends, and random strangers. It wasn't long before he graduated to a more advanced 35mm camera - a used Canon FX bequeathed to him by his uncle - which opened up the world of portrait photography. What had been a hobby became a passion when William began taking photos for his high school newspaper and several shots ended up in the local daily.
​
By the time he entered college, William was shooting sports and theatrical events, weddings and creating headshots for local actors. With a natural affinity for capturing images, he moved into videography to shoot short films, commercials, and documentaries. He further used his photographic and video skills to create a series of virtual hikes and launch the website Hike-LosAngeles.com. His clients have included Disney, Orek Vacuums, America's Beauty Show, Hane's Hosiery, and Advantage Lumber, where he was the Video Director/Lead Photographer for all of their digital online content and print advertising.
