Luke Williams Interview What cameras do you shoot with and which one is your favourite? Recently I’ve been shooting with a canon 5D Mark II & a canon 1DS. I own a Nikon D60, I hope to purchase a canon 5D Mark II very soon. Oh, I also shoot with a few point and shoot film cameras.

What lenses do you roll with? In terms of digital, I roll with a 50mm, and a 18-55mm. Both Nikon.

Do you have a plan? To be honest, I never thought I’d be passionate about photography. I’m on a journey in life and anything can happen. I know God has a plan for me. Sometimes I try to plan things ahead you know, but it doesn’t always go the way I wanted it to go. I’d say right now I’m just trying to up my game bit and I guess I’ll just have to see where that takes me.

What do you think is overrated? Nandos & Batman.

Your favourite film of all time? Man, that’s a tough one. I’d have to say Blood Diamond.

Favourite photographer of all time? Vivian Maier.

Is there anything else you have a passion for? Youth Work, Teaching, going to the gym and playing sports.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years from now? Maybe married? Haha we’re see. I really don’t know, like I said earlier anything could happen. You could see me diving for GB in 2016 Rio Olympics.

Any advice for someone that’s just starting off? There is only one of you in the world so I’m sure there is something different you can bring to the table. Try to get some work on the Internet to promote yourself and to get comments on your work from photographers or other creative people. I started off using Flickr. It’s a good way to explore other photographers and share your photography with people. Keep shooting! The more you keep shooting, the more you’ll find what your style is and what you’re good at and what you’re not so good at. On the other hand don’t be scared to try something new, go out you’re comfort zone a bit. You just never know what you might learn and enjoy doing.
