Bill C.

I enjoy photography (of course :), reading, films, art, time with family and friends… I also play guitar in an indie punk-pop band. Anything and everything that keeps me inspired! For many years I was a full-time freelance photographer. I still do a bit of that on the side, plus my own projects (billcrandall.com), but now my day job is teaching photography. As I tell my students, the best way to make your photographs better (along with solid technique) is to make them more personal. Your camera, whether it's an iPhone or an expensive DSLR, is merely a tool. It's your eye, mind, and curiosity that make the picture.

Annika B. for Real DC Photography Walk

Really good tour, learnt a lot and saw another side of DC. The photographer gave me some useful suggestions on how I could improve my photography, and it was great to be able to put those suggestions into practice straight away. I loved the area of DC we explored during our walk, it was completely different from the DC I had seen during my stay there.

Graham S. for Real DC Photography Walk

In just 2 hours Bill was able to help with understanding camera issues , give a well informed 'visual tour of the area' , walk with the group while making suggestions on angles, light ,composition and at the same time inspiring us to interact with the people on the street . A great night , many thanks and i will take this experience with me on any future city shoots . Cheers, Scott

...I did the "Real DC Photography Walk" yesterday - it was amazing! Bill is a pro and as such he first of all choose the absolut perfect spot for the tour! He sent an e-mail in advance with very helpful tips and explained what, why, and how he would take certain pictures during the tour! The tour is not so much about technical parts of every individual camera, but more about a new experience in photography. Even though you think you might have an eye for the right scenes it gives you a new perspective. We were furthermore offered to send our best shots to get feed back. I think that is a nice full package experience - great input from a professional photograher at a real authentic spot! mirjam
