Chris William Williams on Fstoppers

Lens Therapy

Well my name is Chris William Williams (so I’m sure we’re already off to a memorable start, eh?) and photography kinda runs in my veins (unlike radioactive spider venom, unfortunately) because my parents both worked at Kodak back when it was a leader in the industry.

Born and raised in (Buffalo) Bills country, I went on to dabble in film photography as a kid on into high school–always hijacking the “family camera” on trips and holidays. It wasn’t until college that I bought my own digital camera and proceeded to switch careers from 3rd Grade Teacher to wannabe photographer!

Since then my work has gotten into art galleries, magazines, book covers, interviews, and my favorite: career day at the Rochester City High School. ❤️

Even better though, are the tens of thousands of photographer’s problems I’ve diagnosed, treated and solved over just the last five years. Whether they’re a new parent looking to take better pictures of their kids or National Geographic photographers stopping by to check out the latest tech. I’ve learned so much more by answering questions than I ever could have just working on just my own photography and equipment.
