About William
I was born in Japan in 1976, and my family moved shortly after to San Diego. It was there in a little suburb called Imperial Beach where I grew up surfing and photographing.
I formed my unique environmental portraiture and created that as the basis for my new professional photography career. My panoramic photographs that blend subject into nature were very succesful and many shows were held at gallerys and salons in San Diego. They also won awards at the Del Mar Fair photo competition.
A natural jump from the portraiture work was to get into wedding photography. I began shooting in 2002. I dropped the large format camera and tripod in favor of digital equipment. Even in 2003 digital was not the defacto format as it is now. But I saw the future, and knew it was not with film.
