For more than 4 decades, Cecil Williams has offered the finest in event, fine art portraiture, video, and wedding photography. He is "real" photographer."ONE OF AMERICA'S MOST EXPERIENCED EVENT PHOTOGRAPHERS"
I am also an artist, author, film maker, and publisher."
The reason for emphsizing REAL is because with the advent of digital camera technoIogy today, the photography industry is invaded by thousands of newcomers trying to earn extra income. Look around the city and state hundreds are TRYING TO BE A PHOTOGRAPHER - carpenters, delivery men, truck drivers, bankers, insurance men, teachers, policemen, and many ohers have jumped into this area. Nothing is wrong with that, but instinct will tell you that it takes more than just a smart camera to deliver consistent, reliable and creative photography services provided by licensed professionals. Event planners and consultants who have witnessed some of their clients horror events will advise that a public event should be PHOTOGRAPHED by EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONALS; or in their words, "someone who knows what they are doing." Many newcomers are also operating illegally and not paying taxes. Also keep in mind there are professional photographers who ARE NOT WEDDING or EVENT PHOTOGRAPHERS. For example, recently, I was hired to video a wedding and had a chance to observe another photographer at work at the same event. Although he was an excellent STUDIO photographer, it took him more than 2 hours to do the after-ceremony photos. As an experienced event photographer, I do the after-ceremony posed photos in around 15 minutes or less.
Of course, almost everyone has heard "Uncle Charlie" stories about well-meaning relatives who volunteer to photograph events without charge to gain on-the-job-training. And when the pictures are received by the client, professional photographers like myself receive requests wanting us to rescue their images. Part time inexperienced photo hobbiest consistently deliver poorly exposed, washed-out, and out of focus pictures. They have them developed at a photo lab which produces pictures that have a lifespan of about 5 years. Their pictures are often too dark, too light, off color and almost always improperly posed. Folllowing an event, REAL Professional photographers also edit their clients images which is something seldon done by amateurs.
