Lifestyle Portrait Photographer Capturing Stories Through Visual Art

My name is Kelly Williams, and I am a documentary-style photographer based in San Antonio.  

I see photography as the art of visually telling a story within a single frame.  My path to becoming a professional photographer began after pursuing a career as a screenwriter.  But while chasing the bright lights, big screen of Hollywood, I somehow wound up working in the financial world.  In 2010, I decided that I could not ignore my creative side any longer and opened my own photography business in New York City.

I have taken courses at the International Center of Photography, though I am pretty much self-taught with a degree in art history and Medieval and Renaissance studies from Emory University.  Simply always having a camera in my bag has taught me so much more than sitting in a classroom ever could.

Accordingly, I would not be the photographer I am today without the places I have called home.  I originally hail from the Sunshine State, went to college in Atlanta, lived in New York City for 21 years, and am now a new resident of San Antonio.  So, if you see me on the street with a camera in hand, stop and say, ‘Hi.’  I would love to show you the world through my lens.
