William Patino
New South Wales, Australia
Will lives on the South Coast of NSW Australia with his wife Renee, their young son Judah and chocolate Labrador Milo.
He first picked up a camera in 2012 and life hasn’t been the same since. Looking at life through a lens has really opened his eyes and mind to the vast, intricate beauty of the world we live in. Through photography Will has developed a deep appreciation for nature and learned to understand and admire life’s simplicity. The act of freezing a moment in time has forever changed him, helping him through some personal challenges and changing his entire outlook on life.
After working as a tradesman for 8 years, in 2015 Will put down the tools in order to pursue photography as a career. He is now grateful to work full time hosting photography workshops and partnering with local & international clients on destination marketing campaigns and commercial projects.
Over time Will has come to appreciate not just going out & capturing images but also the moments that surround them. We live in a fast-paced world, but his time with the camera is where he is able to slow down & appreciate things in their simplest form. Will considers it a blessing to be able to share the beauty of our world with others & make a positive impact on people’s lives through the power of visual art.
