ABOUT

I’m Joe Williams, an award winning professional portrait, wedding and travel photographer based just north of London but willing to travel almost anywhere. I've shot for GQ, Conde Nast and Lonely Planet and some of my commercial clients include British Airways, Puma, Rolls Royce, Dorchester Collection and Aston Martin. During my career I’ve been lucky enough to photograph all sorts of people in all sorts of locations. From Hollywood A-listers and sports personalities, to obscure editorial projects in far flung places.

My style could best be described as a mix of documentary and editorial with a splash of fine art thrown on top. While I like to take a relaxed approach, concentrating on finding those authentic moments as they happen, working discreetly to create engaging compositions. I’m also looking to get a unique take on any given scene. I like to make time to create photographs that are not posed or awkward but maybe take a little longer to get just right. Finding the best angle, working with the light to compliment the situation. I like to look for unusual or interesting compositions, mostly working with available light, observing and creating images with a strong narrative energy. For me, the storytelling is everything. I like to think that the combination of documentary and editorial delivers the perfect results.

On your wedding day, being the centre of attention is hard to avoid and not everyone is comfortable being in front of the camera. I’m experienced at making you feel at ease. You just be you, free to be as romantic, playful or as shy as you wish and I’ll get on with creating beautiful, authentic images documenting your story naturally, capturing the moments that matter.

If you’d like to discuss your wedding in detail or you’d just like to know more, then please contact me and I’d be happy to answer any questions, I’d love to hear from you.
