(Above) Graffiti Highway This abandoned section of RT 61 in Pennsylvania is known as the “Graffiti Highway” (Left) The Ghost This spooky photograph was captured at the abandoned hotel ruins on top of Overlook Mtn. in Woodstock, NY. The ghost image was created in real time, using a light “whip” and is not a photoshopped effect.

Will’s love affair with photography began in the early 80’s. He first photographed subjects using Black and White film, and developed images in a darkroom built by his older brother.

While Will enjoys more traditional styles of photography, his passion transcends when he is creating long exposure photographs, with particular emphasis on “Nightscapes” and light painting photography. He uses various tools i.e. flashlights, fiber optic brushes, flames, etc., to transform still photography into artistic masterpieces. People have often stated that Will’s photographs look like paintings.

Will’s work has appeared in numerous publications, galleries and businesses. In addition to doing commission work, Will loves sharing his extensive knowledge by teaching others. He loves to empower up-and-coming photographers, through both 1:1 and small group instruction.
