Who Is This Dustin Williams Guy?
You know, that is a really great question. Half the time I’m still trying to figure out who I am myself. So let me just tell you a little about me and what I’ve done.
I’ve been doing photography for over 5 years now. I started out as a graphic designer until one day I thought, “You know, instead of using everyone else’s photos, why don’t I just take my own?” So after I graduated high school I picked up a DSLR and haven’t quit photography since! Some of my greatest photo accomplishments would be:
Most notably known as photographing the Milky Way here in Pensacola! I’ve actually been noticed in public! ISN’T THAT CRAZY?
Official Photographer for the former Double A affiliate Cincinatti Red Baseball Team, the Pensacola Blue Wahoos.
Photographed major, headlining musicians.
Featured on Buzzfeed, and several other news outlets! I went viral!
Featured in local shops, and restaurants.
Won multiple ribbons in the local fair, as well as finalist in online photo contests! (Shoot & Share and others)
Most importantly though, my great accomplishment isn’t any of these things. My greatest accomplishment and proudest moment is when I see others that I’ve had a hand in helping succeed. Even more so than success myself. I have never seen the point acquiring knowledge if I can’t use it to help others. That’s who I am. That’s what I hope to do for you.
“Dustin may shoot Nikon but has helped me with astrophotography while using my Canon. He’s helped me set everything up from aperture to ISO. He’s patient and understanding and wants to help others grow.”
“I got to go out and have first hand experience photographing the Milky Way with Dustin. I had never done astrophotography before and from the moment we met up, he began teaching me about the WHY and not just the HOW. That allowed me to truly understand the thought process behind astrophotography & I retained that information. He made me feel so comfortable and confident that I went home and started shooting on my own and ended up falling in love with the whole process! ”
“Where do I begin? He is an amazing photographer, from family sessions to astro, he can do it and rock your socks off! He explains everything so us “slow people” understand! He is very patient and thorough with explaining everything in detail.”
“Super helpful (even though you shoot Nikon) your instruction was able to cross brands and still provide expert guidance. I learned so much in just shooting the night sky with you one time!
You mind and skill are valuable, thank you for being willing to share”
“Oh wow, how can I list ALL you’ve done for me in 4-5 sentences?! Seriously though, the 1st time I ever met Dustin was at Gulf Breeze Zoo. He was so excited about getting a new lens & offered to let me shoot with it. I couldn’t believe what a kind-hearted person he was then & he continues to be a giver & a helper all the time! He patiently learned my camera (Canon) with me so he could answer all my multiple questions. He never says, “I’ve already taught you how to do that before” even when he’s taught me the same things over & over!
Dustin, you’ve given freely of your time & energy...I’m so excited for your future & for those of us who’ve experienced your generosity to be able to help support YOU! Thank you for showing me the joys of Astrophotography!!”
“Always willing to stop what your doing to help us newbie’s. You’ve helped me with focus and lighting. Also your passionate about photography and it shows in your work.”
“Knowledgeable. Patient. Precise and to the point. He’s hands on and questions you to be sure you understand! He knows portraits, landscapes and sports photography inside and out. He knows the business to help you navigate those waters too. Beginner or pro, he can meet you at your level—with any kind of camera! I’m signing up!”
Now You Know. What Next?
Now that you’ve read through this entire page, at least I hope you did, I hope I’ve been able to answer all your questions! What the workshop is about, what I’m about, how good of a journalist I am(not really) and so forth. If you’ve decided this is the workshop for you, the snazzy little button below will take you to the page to buy tickets. If for some reason you said “Nope, this ain’t for me!” that’s okay! Whether it be the day, time, wrong workshop for you, or so forth, that’s okay! This is definitely not going to be the last workshop! There’s many more where this one is coming from! I hope to see you on April 6th!
