Hello, I am Bill and thanks for taking the time to look around my page, if you have got to this bit you are probably more than a "casual observer" so you may want to know a bit about me. I am experienced in a wide variety of photography from sport, through wildlife, architecture and travel, although I am happiest when photographing people. I enjoy street photography enormously and after my first f
ew portrait sessions know that this is an area I wish to explore more. I am also starting to get asked to do some event photography, shots from a recent concert at London's Royal Albert Hall can be seen on the site. This came about through my work with Black Swan Film and Video, a company specialising in filming Classical music concerts for whom I often help as a camera operator. I am keen to expand my photography into this area. I have also recently been commissioned to take stock shots of various towns for local authorities. I recently shot my first full main orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic at the Albert Hall, this is an area I want to expand. I remember being asked what it was I wanted for my 14th birthday and the answer was "a camera please". It was a Halina 35mm compact camera 'with light meter', this little workhorse served me well until soon after starting work I decided to join the big boys and move up to an SLR, the good old Zenit E with the standard 50mm lens. I developed my love of motor sport while using this, an incredibly large box of slides and prints bears testament to this. The Zenit was replaced a couple of years later by a Practika B100 SLR with an automatic 50mm lens, a nice little camera that kept me going until about 6 years ago, during this period I also took up cine film making and although I was pleased with a few of my efforts I never became the UK's Speilberg! I bought my first digital camera in about 2004, a 360k pixel beast that would loose its pictures if the battery wore out. That didn't last long and I moved on via a few compacts to my first DSLR, a Nikon D50, chosen solely on feel, the equivalent Canon and Pentax models did not sit right in my hands. I now use a pair of Nikon D700s as my main cameras. I use Nikon 24 - 70 and 80 - 200 and Sigma 120 - 300mm F2.8 lenses. Plans for expansion to the collection are afoot !
