Mission

I strive to bring commercial quality photography to small and mid size businesses, as well as individuals, at a fraction of the cost of hiring a full-size production company. I will never be complacent with my arsenal of skills; every new photo shoot is a learning experience to bring higher quality work to the next shoot.

About Me

I picked up a camera in 2012 and immediately became fascinated by the many different ways you can capture light. It started with long exposures, then eventually flash photography. I experimented with all kinds of light sources; cars, LED rope lights, electroluminescent-wire, lasers, and simply flash lights, to create “light paintings” in camera.

Photography remained an intriguing hobby for me until one particular shoot I did of a Lamborghini Mucielago (license plate “Y0L0000” hahaha) on the Bay Bridge. It caught the attention of many other exotic car owners throughout the San Francisco bay area.

I started hosting group automotive shoots where folks would pitch in together, and they helped me upgrade from my amateur collection of Nikon gear to a full suite of high end Sony equipment. As I’ve been adding new lenses and more powerful camera bodies, I have also been constantly trying to produce sharper and more dynamic photos, pushing the limits of this technology.

The technical side of capturing light is still enthralling to me, and I know I’ll never be done exploring the capabilities of cameras. I often tell people that “I could shoot a paper clip and still have a good time!”

It’s now my full time job, and yet, I never feel like photography has become “work.” I absolutely love what I do!

“Billy is a real professional and extremely nice person! It's really nice to work with him, you enjoy both the process and the result. I was lucky to work with Billy several times and it was a great experience every time!” - Irina E

 

“I absolutely love working with Billy and his wife Jenna! Every experience has been fulfilling and fun; not to mention allowed me to truly try creative ideas. The tape project we did was fun, different and it was incredible to see what Jenna was able to do with the tape (seriously felt like a warrior!). She made me really comfortable during the process and talked me through the design. The prints I received from the shoot were top notch; the large acrylic print I had done will be something I keep for years to come. Thank you again for making me feel like a super star!!” - Kyrstannie D

“Billy is so amazing and professional! I have recently had a chance to work with him on my fashion photoshoot. I am a local fashion designer and have a new and upcoming brand. We planned everything via email in a matter of days and when he showed up to the studio location it only took him about 20mins to set everything up. He is super quick at figuring out problems and fixing them, and the day went by quickly and efficiently, giving me material that is definitely worth the amount we agreed on. Usually I have such problems locating good photographers in the area, that actually know what they are doing, and with Billy it was a piece of cake. I cannot believe how fast and smooth the photoshoot went and how quick he was able to turn over the edited photos. I would recommend his services to anyone. Amazing guy, amazing prices, and extraordinary quality of work!” - Elena S

 

“Very creative! Invests a lot of time and energy in every photoshoot!” - Noha F
